To the Honorable Mayor and Common Coun-

The committee to whom was referred the x
animation of the City Survey, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
Said committee has examined the plats. maps,
&c. as returned TO the office of the present
City Surveyor, and also the stakes or starting
points rom which said survey was made some
of which are located; one cedar stake at the
Southwest corner Of A. l.. Larpenteur's lots on
the corner of Third and Jackson streets; anoth-
err a rock planted on the Northwest corner of
Third and Roberts streets These points, as
near as your committee has been able to ascer-
tain, appear to be the principal ones from which
most of the surveys of the city of ST. Paul
proper, have been made, and especially that of
the former City Surveyor, MFR. Folsom.
Your committe has been unable to ascertain
that any suitable monuments have been estab-
lished, either within the original town of St,
Paul, or any of its additions; and would, there
fore, recommend that your honorable body
cause to be established at least eight good and
substantial monuments, either of stone or
iron, at such points in the city of St. Paul
proper, as shall seem most convenient. from
which to make future surveys; and also for the
following at such points as are named in a note
to me from the City Surveyor, Mr.. Case:

]. A. CASE,
St. Paul, June Ii, 1865. City Surveyor.
Your committee believes that The points man,
ed in said note were in most cases the govern
ing points for the survey of the additions which
your committee believes to be corrcct-as the
owners of most of the additions we're governed
by the Government Survey. and owned all the
land within the limits of said survey; and il
any mistakes errors have occurred, either in
St. Paul proper or in any of the additions. such
mistakes should not extend beyond the limits
of the original town of St. Paul.
Your committee further believes that the
City Survey as made by Mr.. Folsom is as near
ly correct as the circumstances of the case
would permit, or perhaps. as any other person
would have accomplished it under those Cir
cumstances.
1t will be remembered that the original town
of St. Paul and Rice and Irvine's addition were
surveyed or run out prior to the Government
Survey and therefore had no definite bounda-
RES You will therefore easily perceive that
when the Government Survey was established
difficulties would arise, to obviate which no two
Surveyors would be likely to agree.
Your committee would therefore recommend,
from all he has been able to ascertain within
the time allowed the committee to report, that
the survey as made by Mr.. Folsom be accepted.
and your committee discharged.
