<br /> formation of a drainage. district for the Amazon Improvement Project is under way. 't

<br /> So far as we are able to determine, it will be necessary for the property j:

<br /> owners in the Amazon District, lying outside ef the City to~ organize a drainage i I
<br /> district before the U. S. Army Engineers can, begin. work on the pro.j.ect. A pre- ..

<br /> and the first meeting of~this co~ittee is scheduled for TueSday, August 12th. I r
<br /> Insofar as the City's Obligations are Doncerned in connection with the project, it r
<br /> would, appear ~ha.tit will be. necessary, for us to. take action looking" toward the !;
<br /> passage of a bond issue, ~o replace our pr_esent Amazon "br,idges , etc. Just as quickly
