Repairs Of Excelsior Hose House Storm Water Issue
A city committee and the city attorney examined the storm water problem at the Excelsior hose house on the southwest side. They recommend filling city land with ground and sand, installing a brick gutter to drain over the sidewalk into Third street, and raising the casement wall to keep water from the cellar. A plank wall and air chamber are proposed to protect the building, with supervision by the street commissioner. The plan was not fully complied with, as a brick wall along the building was to be added.
