Drainage Structure Plan On Council Agenda Tonight
City officials consider a drainage structure to shield the north side from floods at an estimated cost about 11 thousand dollars with the city bearing 55 percent and private contractors handling bridge work. Nine acres of ground would be needed north of town, and land valuations may delay the project. Mayor Roche favors private negotiations with property owners if voters approve, while some work would be done under WPA or PWA programs. The plan would channel water into the big ditch west of Sidney and toward Lodge Pole creek, with possible extension to the creek to improve flood control.
