The Board of' Public Works .submitted the' follow.lng 'report:- ~..~ay 17th, 1893 .... ~'!e beg to report that the f~re .hydrants ordered to be placed at Park and Harrison.streets, and Rose and. Pew h streets, .cannot_ be ._ placed so.. as to make them. available for' use until these streets a?e brought to grade. This Would involve' considerable.work. We therefore recommend that we be-allo~ved to use discretion in placing these hydrants as near as practicable to the points-' degignated by " Council - so thaY may be available. On motion of t.h'. Loughery this recon~nendation ~as adopted. 1'!~ Would call tire attention of counCil'to the fact that the pound at the~City stables.seems to be inadequate on account of its size, and we are informed that frequently cattle have to b~ 'turned out on account of-its being.over-crowded. We think that the eessity for a lm-ger lot is very'imperative, a~l recommend that' the matter' o'f procuring'another lot fo? the-'purpoSes of the city · be. con.sid.e.r.~._d._.at:_as.' early date as possible.

We have been using this · lot under sufferance.; and-we-.have now have no place whatever to dtunp the sweepings fron~ the streets; this again evidences the im- portance.of securing a suitable lot for city purposes. ~.v. ith such a lot possessing, railroad facilities,'bins could be built from which' such materials 'cOuld be loaded on cars, thereby great- ly econemizing the..handling of. such material. We respectfully ask for further instructions as to where we shall deposit the sweep- ings iron, .the-streets, pending any permanent arrangement you may see fit to make.

It is compet, ent, howevers, for-the-city to enter into a collateral agreement w~th any corporation or individual relative to the cost of the afm~e- said proceedir~s. Concerning the failure of the Standard Oil Company to remove its tanks in accordance with an order of Council, I would advise that the agent of said Company be proceeded against in the usual manner prescribed for proceedings sgainst violators' of the City ordinances.
