At the request of the Managor, the

sician A. L. 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.
