ORDINANCE NOe B -1341, relating to the retention of retirement credits by former
employees of the City Public Library:
Moved by Burns,_ econded by Huey, that at a re- hearing on Resolution No. C- 995-relative
to an 'irrigation system in Rose Park District, the City Engineer made the following
report:
The City Commission
Yakima, Washington
Gentlemen:
January 2, 1952'.
In checking over the T otests on the Rose P "ark.Irrigation District, I find as
follows;
Taking the District as. a whole 40,93%, , protest
The area east of 34th. Avenue alone 5:8.16% "
Rose Park only 21.90%
Eliminating the property owned by the
Construction Co. from Rose Park 40.93% "
From the above, it would appear that the portion east of 34th. Avenue should
be eliminated. This is the second time this area has petitioned for irrigation and
then protested.
It appears that the Rose Park people want the system, but I think that another
petition will be in before Monday next.
Eliminating the area east of 34th. Avenue will necessarily make a.diff erence in
the assessment on the balance of the District and I would not care to make a statement
regarding the additional cost until:.further study is made.
Yours very truly,
(signed) A. Be Collins
A.. B. Collins,
City Engineer

carried, Burns, Carpenter and Huey voting aye on roll call.
oved by Huey, seconded by Burns, that we do now adjourn :. carried, Burns, Huey and
arpenter voting aye on roll call.
