gally defining the boundaries OF streets, blocks
and alleys.
find some errors in kittson's Addition on
this map. How far any errors may exist in the
other additions and st. Paul proper, have no
means Of ascertaiuiug without an instrumental
examination.
1t Is very necessary that something should
be done Immediately to have the boundaries Of
streets, &c. definitely fixed, and would re-
commend that such action be taken in the mat
ter as will accomplish this a. early as possible
Although there are some errors In this map
il Is Il question whether 1t would not be better
to legalize the survey rs made rather than 20
to the large expense necessary for a re-survey.
would recommend that in case this survey
and map be adopted by the Common Council
that an examination DO ordered forthwith to
ascertain whether stakes are now remaining at
the corner of each block.
1t is the belief Of the undersigned that but
few OF the stakes placed by tho former City
Surveyor can now be found. Aud until they
are replaced Twill have great difficulty in per-
forming satisfactorily my duty.
| would recommend that upon each street
within the city, monuments OF al mpei ishable
nature be placed, that the line Of streets may
be preserved. 1t is not deemed necessary ut
present to place these monuments at the corner
of each block. Eight would probably be sun-
cient upon the long. straight streets, passing
over uneven or broken ground. Upon other
straight streets, four or six would be sufficient
lnlsuch streets ~ st. Anthony and Eagle where
there are frequent changes in the direction
Monuments should be placed at each angle.
These monuments would cost about two hun
dred dollars.
An entire re-survey Of the city, with map Of
the same. can be made for q sum not varying
materially from twenty-six hundred dollars
This estimate Is based upon the supposition
that all the work would have to be done over.
would respectfully request that some prop-
er place be designated, at which to place the
Time Teller belonging TO the city--and that
an appropriation be made for setting il up.
Respectfully.

City Surveyor.

To the Hon. the Common Council Of the City

The undersigned represents to your Honors.
that the money due him for the last quarters
rent of Market House (although an order for
the amount has been issued to him. has not
been paid. The invariable cry Is when pre-
the Treasury. II such Is the case perhaps the I'M
dcrsgned ought not to grumble. But having
been informed that there IL money In the Treas
ury, the undersigned thinks his order should
be paid, and at least Il Is not more than fair
that the rents and profits arising to tho City,
for the use Of tho said Market House should of
right be paid to the undersigned In preference
to others.
The undersigned is willing however, to let
CITY Orders" await the convenience OF the
city authorities. Provided, the City Council
shall pay such . rate Of interest, as he has TO
pay for the use OF money.
Hoping that tho Council may take some ac-
ton In tho matter. am yours,
