Dear Sir: Regarding the setting of grade stakes for a sidewalk along Fremont from Fifth St. to Eleventh St. and the cost of surveys for such grade stakes I would respectfully call your attention to a few of the principles of engineering practice which must be conformed with if the grade line is to be properly established. The grade line of any street must be laid out so as to drain off all Storm Water from the higher streets to the lower street sand so on to the outlet for wasting the water ot connection with the sewer. This condition mast be met if we hope to fix oar streets some day and keep away from the street mud paddles. Thus it is necessary to run grade lines out for some distance side streets crossing Fremont street. This data should be kept in a permanent record and turned over to the Commissioners for their use in connection with grade lines to be established in the future Your attention is called to these matters so that you will understand that to properly establish the desired grade line considerable extra work is necess­ary as this is the beginning of the development of a new portion of the city, and should be started in the proper manner to avoid future trouble and expense. To execute the necessary surveys, establish the grade line of the sidewalk along Fremont Street from Fifth Street to Eleventh Street giving the necessary attention to the grade lines of the cross streets, establish the necessary bench marks for future reference for elevation, set missing street centers to protect the established lines and keep all data in a workman like manner to turn over to you at the end of the work, I will make a fixed price of $150.00 or will do the work on the day basis at a charge of $20.00 per day for a field party consisting of not less than two men and a charge of $15.00 per day for each day on office work. Very respectfully, Fred W. Rodolf. Thereupon it was the order of the Board upon motion of Commissioner Martin, seconded by Commi­ssioner Hodgens and duly carried that Fred W. Rodolf be retained to ran the grade lines as per his communication above noted for a sum of $150.00, said sum to be paid oat of the City General Fund. Voting Commissioners Hodgens, Anderson, and Martin and His Honor the Mayor Pro Tem Frank Brickie Aye. Noes, none. Thereupon the Clerk presented to the Board the application of G.
