Sadler continued) Line from the Dam to the City limits, also the Fort Flagler Line from the Main Line to U.S. dilitary Reservation line at Fort Flagler. The old profiles have been in use for a number )f years and are showing signs of wear and tear, the new profiles are in condensed form and Should come in handy if the City constructs a new line, either the Snow Creek line or the port Flager line. I have also made a small scale map of the City showing Additions, Street names, Block lumbers and Distances from City Hall. 'There has been some demand for a map of this kind lately In place of the large map which is too large for the pocket. This map I think can be blue printed and sold for about .25�,the large City ttap has also been brought up to data I have also made new tracings of both the Eastern and Southern sewer districts showing location of wyes that have been connected to house sewers according to the prints that have been issued are shown chocked with a read check mark. The records do not show the actual number of wyes that have been used. These should be checked up when the City is financiall able to do so, and the record completed. - In 1929, I started to make a set of Maps showing the location, size and application number of all taps inside the City limits, these have not been completed as sufficient data hoe not been furnished, when this is done it should all be checked up and completed, this will be a valuable record in the future if the City goes ahead. All records for the above are in the Slater Department office. Sometime ago the retimbering of the City Lake Tunnel was taken up with the City Coun- cil and was referred to a Committee,so far nothing has been done in regards to this. Some few years ago the City went to the expense of Filing on some water claims on tha Little Quilcene river and Lords lake, also additional water in the big Quilcene hiver. Thes� filings have been renewed once, since the original applications was made. Steps should be taken to renew these filings if the City wishes to hold same. I think that it is of vital portance to the City's future development, Anytime that I can be of any assistance to the City you have only to make the request and I shall be pleased to do anything I can. Thanking you for your co-operation in the past, and hoping that the future will be bright and prosperous. Yours very truly, WJS:AB (Signed) 111. J. SADLER City Engineer. It was moved by Councilman Aubert and seconded by Councilman McGee that the said com- munication be acknowledged by thanks and placed on file for future reference.
