Springbrook Creek on Eleventh Avenue ,. The Manager stated that a preliminary survey of the condition of Springbrook Creek and Eleventh Avenue drainage had been made. It was stated that the present ditch on Eleventh Avenue is apparently large enough to take care of the normal flow of the creek, but it was thought that by replacing about 300 feet of the lO-inch tile that had been found defective the normal flow from the spring that feeds this creek could be properly taken care of as originally planned. This would rid the street of the present bog holes caused by the leaking tile. It was thought, also, the t in order to take care of the spring run off, an additional ditch could be constructed in the vicinity of Twelfth AVenue to connect with the present channel north of the City. It was also pointed out that at the time the Eleventh Avenue conduit was c.onstructed Buser north of the City paid one-third of the construction cost; and it was decided that before the City does any great amount of maintenance on this pipe line the City Attorney should interview users of the water from Springbrook Creek to see what interest they claim or have in the ditch with a view to securing their co-operation and sharing in the cost of the proposed reconstruction.
