Richardson, County Health Officer Dr. M. K. Hall, C:ty Engineer Neal, Water Superintendent Hoyt ana myself to Beaver Creek, where a careful examination of the water sup ply was made. - The nartv went directly to the res ervoir and walked completely around it and about a half a mile up Beaver Creek above the reservoir. Found wa ter in stagnant condition, unfit for do mestic use. Several reasons were ad vanced for this condition, the general opinion seeming to be that the refuse at the bottom of the lake should be removed, believing that this decompo3 ed veeetation was responsible to a certain extent to the condition of the j water. It was also the opinion that there has not been enough frtsh wa ter added to the lake to keep it in a fresh condition. It is evident that the pipe line needs cleaning, but the question arises, should it be done dur ing this excessive dry weather? Duo to the fact that a break in the supply might endanger the city should firo break out. The city reservoir has been drained' and cleaned and most of the fire hydrants - flushed. The water trouble has not been in the small rfs ervoir, but at the Beaver Creek reser voir. , . Have had prepared for your consid eration a statement of the amount of money now on hand in the banks in or der that you may determine wnai dis posal may be made of same in order that it may be able to earn a reasona ble interest. . The long dry period has been detri mental to a number of crossings which the superintendent has repaired, and in some instances recovered. In many cases small bridges were replaced. I would suggest that the city pur. chase its own team with which to do city work as I believe better results at a lower expense would be obtained. Citv Engineer Neal has finished es timates as to the amount of yardage at old subway, now the new viaduct. The water superintendent hns been in structed to receive bids. The railroad is ready at any time now to furnish dirt upon request. In the matter of the Fourth street improvement, the city has been award ed a decision, but the citizens havjs 60 days in which to appeal. Yours respectfully, , F. B..CURREY. 4 Can You See The Future?
