The condition of the dry wells installed at <br />two or more locations along this street was discussed, and the Board informed the <br />property owners that additional cast iron rings will be provided by the city to property <br />owners installing additional dry wells. In the matter of storm sewers, City Engineer <br />Andrysiak informed the property owners no immediate relief is in sight, and until storm <br />sewers can be installed, good drainage will not exist in that area. The possibility of <br />improvement by the installation of a culvert was considered. Engineer Andrysiak warned <br />that the effect of such installation on other private property must be taken into <br />careful consideration. The suggestion of ditching to relieve the drainage in some <br />degree also received consideration. Engineer Andrysiak advised against installation of <br />curbs until such time as the drainage problem has been solved. <br />TRAFFIC ENGINEER: <br />A request received by the Board for permission to open up and conduct a parking <br />lot at the corner of Bartlett and Main Streets was referred to the Traffic Engineer <br />for investigation and report. <br />A letter received from Wilmer H.
