CITY COUNCIL
LEVEE PLANS
Suggested That the City Go
Ahead and Make Such Re
pairs as Were Necessary.
HINKLE ESTIMATES THE COST
AT CLOSE TO $15,000.
To Rejialr tho Levee Above .Main
Street Ilridgo hy Days Work and
tho Portion Below the BrltlgB
Through Letting It Out to Contrac
tors, Was Decided by the Council
Last Xlght Repairs Estimated at
$15.000 Tho City May Pass the
$10,000 Limit Private Sewers Were
Outlawed.
To repair the levee above the Main
street bridge by day work and the
portion below the bridge through
letting ltout to contractors was de
cided on at the adjourned, council'
meeting last evening.
During the afternoon yesterday the
members of the council visited the
portion of the levee below the Main
street bridge and Chairman Hlnkle,
of the levee committee, was ready to
report soon after the council had been
called to order. f '
Repairs Estimated nt $15,000. -s.
In behalf of his coinmltteee Mr.
Hlnkle recommended that no work be
done on the levee between the upper
end and the railroad bridges; that the
portion between the bridges and the
Main street bridge be repaired by men
employed by the day and working un
der the direction of the committee;
that the section below the Main street
bridge be divided Into two districts;,
from Main to Lilleth and fiim Lllleth
to Marie, and that the two districts
be repaired by letting the work by
Contract. 1
According to Mr. Hinkle's estimate
the cost of the work outlined would
be close to 115,000. This would be
15000 more than the amount that can
be raised by the levee bond Issue and'
how to meet the extra expense waa
a problem.
City May Pass $10,000 Limit.
It was suggested that the city could
go ahead and make such repairs as
were absolutely necessary and thaf
should the indebtedness go beyond
the 110.000 limit no complaint would
be made, It being held that no one
on the flat would object and that no
one on the hills would have the "gall."
to do so.
City Attorney McCourt said that
counties frequently went beyond their
limits of Indetbedness In order to do
necessary bridge nnd road work.
Consequently he believed the city
could do the same In repairing the
levee, though he had not fully Inves
tigated the subject.
After some further discussion the
council decided by motion to repair
the portion between the upper
bridges and the Main street bridge by
day work. The motion to do the same
was made by Conucllmnn Ell. No
repairs will be made on the levee
above the railroad bridges.
Councilman Thompson then moved
thnt the section between the Main
street bridge and the east line of Lil
leth be repaired, the contract being
let to the lowest bidder. The motion
was carried as was also one by Coun
cilman Hlnkle to contract for repairs
on the section between the east side
of Lilleth to the west line of Marlt
streets.
Young & Kelsay, the engineers, will
be asked to prepare specifications for
the repairs below Main street, and
as soon as they are ready bids will be
advertised for. Under their contract
with the city Young & Kelsay receive
a five per cent commission on all
money expended by the city upon thi
levee.
Once more Councilman Mumm.
chairman of the sewer committee,
called the attention of the council to
the failure of some property owners
to connect with the sewer system and
abandon their private connections.
He was asked to furnish the city at
torney with a list of those who still
have private sewers so that - action
may be taken against them at once.
