<br />against the owners to abate this nuisance. The dam was constructed
<br />sometime ago. The water lies Westerly of the dam, which backs up and
<br />lies stagnant. The Engineer recommended that the spill-way be increased
<br />and lowered and the ditch widened to allow run-off. The matter was turned
<br />over to the Streets, Sewers and Ditch Committee for study, together with
<br />the Engineer's report.
<br />The Clerk read a communication from the Planning Commission, in which
<br />they ap.I;rove the plans for the proposed Service Garage at the Northwest
