Proposes to Pump in Dredgings
in Both Arms as Far as
Tenth and Twelfth Streets
Members of tho City Council met'
with Hoy Miller, local nit'iiagor of
the dredge Seattle, yesterday after
noon, and went over tho plans for'
the filling of the low lands south of
Mill Slough and the Mill Slough dis
trict proper. It Was agreed that for
the time being no attempt would bo
made to fill Mill Slough cast of
11 road way.
It Is proposed to take up the dis
position of the mouth of Mill Slough
with tho abutting property owners
and make arangements lor a street I
to the waterfront and also for a
ferry landing. A committee of the
Council will tnke the matter up with
C. A. Smith, Arno Mereen and others
In a few days.
It Is also proposed that the fill of
Mill Slough be made by private con
tract. Most of the property owners
In and along the Slough have agreed
to It. Hy doing It by private con
tract It ran be arranged to be done
Immediately, whereas If It went
through the usual Council routine, It
would bo three months or so before It
rould be Btnrted..
The purpose of the conference was
to enable the Council members to be
come thoroughly familiar with the
filling projects planned, so that when
the matter comes up to the council
men for action, which Is expected to
be next Monday night, there will be
no unnecessary delay In arriving nt
a suitable agreement between tho
city and the dredging company over
the work.
Miller was asked regarding the
quantity of soil It would he possible
to secure for south of Hall street,
and answered that thero (ivould bo
enough for nil purposes. Miller's
proposal Is to begin on the upper
end of the north arm of Mill Slough
and work toward the waterfront, so
as to inako the Job a complete one
as far as Twelfth street', and on tho
west arm down to Tenth street.
City Hnglueer Buckingham's plans
for tho sower to take care of tho
water In Mill Slough nfter the fill
called for a wooden box drain two
feet deep and olght feet' wide, to be
built on piling foundation, with piles
driven every eight feet. Ho estimat
ed the cost would not exceed ten
rents a cubic pard for nil the Improvement.
