A storm drain has been provided which will take away all of the surface water and the people who live and work in that vicinity will not have to be bothered with any stench. When the water backed up it threw great quantities of tar through the catch basin into the pavement and the city officials are now trying to find out where the tar came from. It is not yet known whether it came through the mouth of the sewer or came in through some drain above. The tar completely covers the street in places and it will be quite difficult to remove it. The street commissioner also states that he has a number of teams busy filling the hole on the Barr lots on West Fifteenth street.
Over 100 loads of dirt have already been hauled in and the commissioner has two syphons pumping out the water which filled the big ditch. Three trips to Muscatine, J. July 4th.
