Zumwnlt, cltr engineer, Is at work upon avian for Improvement of Blxth atrect from Commercial to tbo Boutborn Pacific railroad which. If successful, will greatly bonoflt, tho property on the north aide of Blxth street, as well as save paving which Is threatened' with ruin due to the water seepage from beneath soften ing the paving base. ,Thp, drainage of this particular part of thn city has been a baffling proposition for a' long tlmo and duri Ing tho wlnter period In tho vicinity1 ot Blxth and Hpring, a foot of water covers tbo streets. Investigation shows that on tho south sldo of Blxth street, tho drain ago Is being taken care ot by tbo Dig Lakca and tho Hwuuna Box compa nies, which hnvo largo pumps local od on tho lako front and these pumps aro removing tho water from tho south district. Across tho streot thoro Is no dalnago outlet. The hot springs and storm waters remain over tho Itallroad. Kocond Kallroad and Sec ond Hot Springs additions whenover n wot period comes and this water fs carried down Ilroad, Markot and Spring streets, only to find no out let for tho oxress, and then lodges and settles against the Blxth streot paving base. This causes rnpld deteri oration ot thq component parts ot tho baso., Englnocr Zumwalt plans to over como this fault by luring a drain plpo back ot tho curb on tho north sldo of Blxth street, through which water will flow two ways to a converging point nt tho Fnrmors' wnrehouso and tho wntor Is then dropped Into a 24 Inch plpo which" iwill cross under tho Btrahorn railroad to tho nig Lake saw mill and then Into tho dredger cut. In turn this surplus water Is drained off by pumps Into Lake Ewaunn. Tho wator tablos show that at tho point on Sixth street at Spring, tho wator Is oxtromoly high and that whon this dralnago Is established, tho wator will bo drawd oft not less than throo foot, freeing tho baso of tho pavoment from contact with ac tive moisture. Tho plan will bo sub mitted to tho council for their ap proval as soon ns tho ostlmatos are preparod by tho city englnoor. m HKPOHT STOCKTON FACTORY OF CARTER & WKBHTKR HUIINEO Itoport Is current In mill circles to day that tho Carter & Webster box factqry at- Stockton has beon destroy ed' by tiro.
