vations on Lowry Street, in F~ont of the homes of Messrs C. Y. Grayson

This re-check of the conditions on Lowry Street, as a result o£
the recent Drainage Improvement on Andrews ~venue, disclosed a low
spot in the center of the Block, between Andrews and Seabreeze Avenues,
on Lowry Street which can be corrected by one catch basin and suffic-
ient 8 inch storm sewer %o connect with the catch basin, and Andrews
Avenue,.according to the Supt. of Public Works, who recommends that such
installation be made to solve the drainage problem on Lowry Street.

would be of any benefit to %he properties on Lowry Street and further
Felt %hat relief From assessment, therefor, should be granted both he
and Mr. Dittrich. Upon being questioned by %he City Manager, Mr.
Fleming asserted that the above suggested installation of a catch basin
and storm sewer line would result in satisfactory drainage of the Lowry
Street area into the Andrews Avenue Drainage System, and Fully .correct
