City Manager Leoq made the following report: June 20, 1914, The Commissioners of the City of Lakeland: Gentlemen—1. A iwli-» tion is before you from cesidents of Main street, near Florida avenue, in regard to storm water ponding n the gutter on the South side of Main street, anq asking the commissioners to take some action. Saturday Donald Me- t As immediate action seemed necessary, | haq the city engineer make an investigation. He reported that the culvert pipes under the roadway on Main street were stopped up and that if these pipes were cleaned out he thought the conditions complained of would be substantially remedied. 1 there- fore, had the street department men clean out the pipes. Since this has been done Mr. Yates reports that the work done does not altogether remedy the eon- dition complained of. This might have been anticipated, as, according to the engineer, the drain pipes are too small to take the storm water away as fast as it collects. However, the sanitary inspector reports that the pool which used to stand for sev- eral days after a rain, now drains off in a few hours. The proper thing to do to remedy the condition permanently and drain | off the water as fast as it collects is to put in larzer storm water pipes. As this woulg cost high, it would not be practicable to do the work with the funds now available. In regerg to the other matter com- plained of in the petition, the ob- struction of the sidewalk and park- ing on the north side of the street at this place, I have placed the matter in the hands of the chief of police. 2. In regard to the extension of Lake avenue and other :uljniniu:i streets so as to give a pas the Atlantic (‘oast the city engineer's report shows t will | across a satisfactorily graded street cost about three hundred dollars for construction.

He was the opinion that there might be some inexpensive way of remedying the condition by (Ii:‘—! Some time ago Senator Drane of ging an open ditch along the course of Dakota avenue near Cresap ave- nut. The engineer's report recom- mends a permanent storm water sewer for this vicinity at a cost of | $1,800. One of the items this cost is 530 feet of twenty fonr-inch sewer costing nine hundred dollars This would remedy the most (%mpl:vinnd of by Mr. Drane, namely, the gullying of his orange grove. However, there are no funds available for this purpose. 4. In regard to the water-pipe ex- tensions asked for by Messrs. (‘resap and Alfield, I find that the two places woulg take, together, 1,000 feet of six-inch cast iron pipe to remedy ]wrmunvmly the defec- tive pressure conditions and give fire protection. The cost would be about $750. However, I am unable to do anything towarq the construction, as there are no funds available in the water department at present. 5. A party in Dixieland, the brick store, complained, a few weeks ago, that South Florida avenue was too dark in his vicinity. On inve gation, T found that a light was nec essary, and I have arranged with the In condition | about at to install one street lamp, near the fire hydrant—about 150 feet from the brick store. 6. Some of the citizens have !drawn my attention to the lack of a city hospital. Certainly, a city of the size of Lakelanq should have a modern and efficient hospital. I learn that there has been be- eathed to the city, for the pur- poses of a city hospital, a property worth about $10,000. I understand at the matter of what the this bequest is in hands a committee appointed by you, 2 ¢ to co-operat ported. I am ready any aid T can. 7.
