URGES DREDGING OF CREEK
Committe of Commsroigl Clnb lftiei
BeooMneation to Ooanoil -
SHOULD UNDERTAKE WORK AT ONCE
t'aless Contractors Reduce Fissures
Committee Thinks City Should
Bay Dredge and Do the
Work Itself.
The special committee of the Commercial
club on Indian creek met last night and
formulated Its report which It will submit
to the city council Monday night.
The committee- finds after Investigation
that the need of cleaning, widening and
deepening' Indian creek Is urgent and rec
ommends that the city have the work
done with as little delay aa possible. Fur
ther, the committee recommends that the
city purchase a dredge and do the work it
self unless the Arms which bid on the
dredging reduce their figures to 8 cents a
yard. The lowest bid received by the city
for this work was that of Contractor Wlck
ham, who figured the cost at 184 cents a
yard. City Engineer Etnyre In his report
to the city council estimated the cost at
about 12 to 14 cents a yard.
In Its report the committee presents fig
ures showing that In Its estimation the
cost of operating a dredge would be from
$18 to $30 a day and that the work of Im
proving the creek ought to be completed
In three months. On this basts the com
mittee figures that the $4,500 now in the
sewer fund would be sufficient to pay the
expense and that the cost of tbe dredge
could be provided for In next year's tax
levy.
Regarding the tax levy for the sewer fund
the committee suggests that the limit,
which Is 1 mills, be levied for the next few
years and expended in improving the sewer
system of the city. For several years but
1 mill ha been levied for the sewer fund.
The 2-mill levy would raise between $7,000
and $8,000.
Mayor Macrae and several of the alder
men were present at the meeting and
thanked the committee for the Interest It
had taken in the matter, which they said
was one of vital importance to the cltliens.
With the report of the committee to back
it. Mayor Macrae said the city council
would now feel safe in expending the city's
money on the creek.
The report, which is quite lengthy, was
at the suggestion of Secretary Reed of the
Commercial club withheld from the press
until It could be presented formally to the
city council. . .
