Gentlemen:- We your committee appointed to investigate and report on a petition of C.H.Steele and others asking that a street be opened along the bay in front of the Spohn Hospital and north of Hall Bayou,beg leave to report that all of the streets and alleys north of Halls Bayou and in what is known as the Miramar Hotel wounds were declared closed by a City ordinance passed and approved on September 15th A.D.1890. a copy of which is hereto at- tacked. We also find that the said streets and alleys so closed were never dedicated for Municipal or Public use,hence the City has no authority to grant said petition.

The fact that the present City Aall and Fire Station is badly dilapddated and a public nuidance, and the want of a proper fire station has greatly subjected the City to -destruction by fire, creates a public emergency and an imperative public necessity exists for the suspens6on of the charter rule providing that no ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date of its introduction unless declared to be a public emergency ordinance or resolution by the mayor, and the Ma7ro Pro Tem. in the absence of t3!e Pla.yor, having in writing declared that such emergency and public necessity e2ists and having in writing req- uested that said charter rule be suspended and that this resolution be passed finally on the date of its intorduction, said rule is hereby accordingly suspended and this resolution sj�alj bake effect and be in full force and effect form and after its passage and approval on the date of its intorduction, and it is so ordained.

The following commucication from Supervising Engineer Lancashire way; read and erdered spread upon the minutes also protest of the Mayor. Corpus Christi, Texas, March 23, 1912. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, CITY. II Gentlemen: - Much to my surprise the Contractors for the Hill Sewer Job have this morning started laying the sewer pipe, on pater $t., below -sea -level, with cement joints. I have called c their attention to the Contract and. the Specifications and they imform me that your honoraljle body at its meeting on Yarch 22nd. (yesterday) saw fit to change the specifications, without ounsulting the contract, so as to illiminath the asphaltum joints and substitute cement SK joints. I have consulted the records and find this to be true. I therefore submit myself to you better judgment, but in Roing reerectfully call your attention to that -fact, that this change is made in the fact of the counter recomendations of your Consulting Engineer, Mr. Frank Dormant, and your Supervising Engineer, the writer. I have no desire to dispute your superiow knowlege in the premises, bl►t 1 respectfully ask how have you protected the City in making this change? The Contract provides an extra charge for laying this pipe below seale--e1 with asphaltwr; joints,. Under the terms of the contract you will be paying `his for nothing unless you have made special agreement with the Contractors. And there is nothing in the munutes about a spacial agreement. Please be so kind as to hasp this letter spread upon the minutes of the City Counoil and please understant that in making this change you relieve me of all respor_sib{lity for the sueeessfull working of the Hill Part of the sewer system, including the line of 'later ''treet, and also of all responsibility concerning the future operation of the Disposal "corks. To date we are wetting remarkable results at the Diepobal Works. The effluent being beautiful clear Ater practically free from salt. If anybody doubts this I respectfully ask that they visit the works and see for themselves. What will be the condition after the mill Job is connected with the pumping station, by a line laid below sew -level with cement ,joints I can not say, nor will I guess. But I hereby disavow amy resoposibility for the success, or failure, of the work on which you hate changed the specifications and such other work as this effects. An passing I geg to call to your attention the volumns that ha -e been written on the use of concrete and cement in salt water, and on the use of cement sever pipe soi nts in saturated earth.

All of the commissioners of this Uity have assisted -me dur ng the winter h f months with the sanitary department and as it is now approaching summer I feel that in justice to the health of the City of Corpus Christi the safiitary department should be turned over to 4 one commissioner and he should be given that department to look after without being burdened f with other departments. I therefore recommend that, effective Yay lot, 1912, the Police Department of the City of Corpus Christi be turned over to the Mayor of the City of Corpus Christi and that the burdens of that department be looked after by the Mayor of the City of Corpus fhristi and that I be given -the Sanitary department alone and that the gargage wagon %I and sanitary inspectors be placed in my department and I be required to look after the sanit, 1 ary department of the City of Corpus Christi only from and after May lot, 1912.

West. 1 H.R T No. 1. dater Works at Calallen EXTERNALLY—Safety valve blew freely at 80 lbs. pressure. Nater column, gage cocks aiid blow off were clear., Owing to the couble bolted patch on outside of first course of shell at front bottom, we do not condider boiler insurable. Patch should have been dingle riveted to inside of shell as was explained to the engineer. Steam gave was correct. All attachments appeared in f air condition. Boiler will be insurable if patch is ehanged as was explained to engineer. Blow off should be increaded in size from 1-1%2" to 2" . Respectfully, (Signed) Peter F. Pescud. General Agent. City of Corpus Christi,' Corpus Christi, Texas. New Orleans, La., July 17th, 1912. THE HARTFORD STEA1.2 BOILER INSPECTION AND INSURMICE COMPANY MAKES THP FOLLU17ING DEPORT OF THE CONDITION OF YOUR STEAM BOILER INSPECTED ON TIT, .. t 13th day o.f July 1912.- By Inspector E. `lest 1 H R T No. 2. Etter Works at Calallen. INTERNALLY: -Owing to the construcion of tri q boiler an entrance below tubes could not be effected. Braces to heads were soutd and taut. Laps, acid seams as far as could be seen were in good condition. Reavy scale was on most nner surfaces below the water line; this was soft and appeared eatily removed. The internal feed pipe was obstructed with scale, and was loc- ated too far to _front. Ee advise that this pipe be extended back near rear head, and madie to discharge about six inches below the water line, as was explained to engineer at time of thds visit. Borne cylinder oil _was. on sides of ohell, braces and top tubes; this oil most likely found its waxy to these parts thrvilgh feed water heater, there being not oil intereeptor in exhaust line or on heater; this condition as was explained to the engineer with bhe sugges- tion that an oil trap be placed in exhaust line between pumps and heater at once in order to prevent the accumulation 'of a serious amount of oil in boiler which is likely to cause overheating. No pitting or corrosion was seen,. Opening to blow off was clear. EXTERNALLY: -Front course of boiler was ba:;ged at bottom near center; this bag was about 12" diameter and about 1" deep at lowerslpoint, and bias most likely caused from overheating of plate due to heavy scale or deposit in boiler. We understand that this hag is to be driven up before boiler is operated. The blow off pipe should be increaded in size fron 1-1/2 to 2" and should be protected from the fire. A fusible plug should be placed in read head about to" inches above top tubes and exposed tothe fire. We advise that. a better type of blow off cook take the place of the old plug cock in blow off pipe. Steam gage was corredted. Other attachments appeared in fair condition. On account of the poorly designed patch in front end of first course of shell at bottom, this boiler is not considered 'edfe, and is uninsurable. This patch is 1/2" thick whereas the shell to which it is bolted is only 5167, and is double bolted outside whell with 5/8" machine bolts hairing large square heads exposed tot he fire We understand that a patach bf this same construction lasted only ten Aays on another boiler . in this plant. By removing one trertieal row of tubes and the loner row, a kOrseshoe patch of same thickness and teneil strength as other part of shell can be single riveted to inside of shell as was explained to the engineer, after which boiler will be insurable. Boiler sh- ould be cleaned of scale before being put in service. Owing to the dirty quality of boiler d feed water,wxm1iSaisY we sug ect that a settlin tank or -basin be erected in order that feed water mgy be cleared before being used in boiler. Thi is boiler appears to small for the -- work. required of it. Rare and management should be better. Respectfully, City of Corpus Qhristi, (Signed) Peter F. Pescud.
