Hon. Mayor & Council of the City of Plainview, Hale Countg,Tex. Sirs:- To your connittee on streets and alloys beg leave to make the following report in viater drainage of the town eff Plainview as per survey and profile of 1r. Whitis now in the City's employ as civil ;_ngineer. First. we find Grover street from P.& IT.T.Ry to BR South to be the most natural and practical way as per profile as a base line outlet to dispose of the great volume of wateram comong from Highland Addition. 2d. We find that Moreland Street from its intersection isa s t with Restriction "street to Cottage Street, and Cottage Street South to Main Street, thence to Lye Lake, thence to McClelland Draw, thence 282 Thence to Brazos River to be a natural flour and drainage way; Hence the most practical way to control and dispose of the great body of water that has heretofore been flowing down Pacific and other streets into the heart of our Cdty after heavy rainfalls. 3d. We also find that Alexander street from P.& N.T.Ry. to Inter- section of west 3d.st., thence to BR west, and Fairbanks Street from Lake street south to Draw to be,as per profile, the most practical drainage streets in caring for water falling on the West side of Highland Addition. 4th. From these base lines as drainage way, when completed as per profile, all other streets can be made to conform thereto and give complete drainage to our City.
