It was thought an assessment district could be formed by the people in this area•snd the problem taken care of in that way. Actually this condition was the fault of the sub- divider. Mr. Seely was willing to give the City and easement across his property includ- ing Lots 1, 2, and 3, for the purpose of drainage. Councilman Granger moved that the F Engineering Department give some temporary consideration to relief and report back on the cost of the ditch for 200 or 300 ft., seconded by Councilman Britschgi and carried.
