Purpose of Acting A~ayor Shavor announced that the purpose of the hearing Hearing was to consider an improvement of the alley between Hamline Avenue and Albert Street, one block south of Larpenteur, as described in the published Notice of the Hearing. He asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the proposed improvement. No opposition was heard. Village Engineer's Mr. V. L. L~ungren, of our Village Engineer's staff, was report asked to report on the matter based on a further survey and maps he had prepared. Hr. L~ungren reported he had .made a complete survey of the alley and that the draxing he had prepared showed elevations on all garages and at intersections of the alley at Albert and Hemline. The alley grade, he said, is quite flat with a slight grade to the east and some small pockets. Based on a check made by three of their engineers, L~ungren said the maximum grade that could be put in was a ,3 grade, or 3/10 of afoot drop in 100 feet. This, he said, was below the minimum grade needed for good drainage. After getting the water to Hemline, the next problem, he said,~would be to build a ditch and that the ditch along Hemline would have to be deepened. For proper drainage, L~ungren said the alley grade would have to be 6 in. above the street and this would require the raising of 1!t garages on the alley.
