Report of the City Engineer on the communication of Walter S. Herstrom, was presented and read, as follows: Port Townsend, Wash., April 15th, 1932 To the Mayor and City Council, Gentlemen: There has been no overflow from the reservoirs since about the middle of January, but there has been a little water through the small drain in the bottom og reservoir No. 1, due to water used there in construction and a broken valve; the broken valve has been repla- ced with a new one. There is about 4 Cr 5 inches of water in the box at hoed and Jackson Streets. possibly some of this leaking through the bottom of the box or the bulkhead that was put in by Mr. �ireen when the City Council ordered him to. turn all water away from the bluff. The top of the box is 2" x 12" planking and is badly in need of repair. I would recommend that the city purchase 2,c15" x 45 degree vitrified clay bends and 1, 15" x 8" vitrified clay reducer to connect the present 15",vitlified.alay.overflow pipe from the res ervoirs to the 8" wood overflow pipe to the park. I would also recommend that a portion of the 15" vitrified clay pipe from the box to the bluff be taken up and the ditch backfil- led and well tamped with dirt; the wood cover on the box be removed and the box filled with dirt; also that a gutter be dug on the East aide of Jackson Street to prevent water drainin from the street toward the bluff. This, I think, would eliminate the trouble as far as th overflow pipe is concerned. The overflow pipe from Reed Street along Jackson Street to Me Kinley Street to Clallam Street will have to be renewed in the near future and if the steel pipe is used that was recommended sometime ago,.connection can be made to the vitrified cla bends without much trouble. Yours very truly,.. W. J. Sadler, City Engineer. Report was referred to Water Committee. HYDRANT QUOTATIONS.
