recommendation concerning Adams Addition Streets and the committee therefore
turned the matter back to the Council.
Donald Adams reported on a proposal -to gutde the drainage of surface water
through the Adams Addition by means of a shallow ditch which would come from
3 Mile Drive to be carried through a culvert under Rosewood Drive and emptied
onto Glenwood Drive where it lays in a north -south direction. He stated that
the problem occurs in the spring when the frost is in the ground and at other
times of the year the water soaks into the ground.
City Engineer, McClintick stated that he did not feel that this water would
damage the street after it had been surfaced and curbed. That it would be
better for the roadbed to be used for a period of a year before surfacing was
done.

resolve all of the problems at this time as the immediate problem was the laying
of the streets.
