II. W. SEARLEs, Finance Com.
ALLEN A. ANGEL,
On motion of Mr. Reid said report was
accepted and adopted. and the sum of $40
appropriated for the purpose mentioned
therein.
Mr. Cssey from the special com. appoint
ed to investigate matters in relation to the
fencing Of the Public Square presented the
following report:
The undersigned having been appoint
ed com. to investigate the facts, in re-
gard to building fence around the square
of the Court House and filing up the same
with dirt, beg leave to report; That Mr..
knOwlson, superintendent of the "Cut Of
Road" assures US that he would do his
full share Of the filing. He alsJ informed
us that Mr. ALLEN. superintendent of the G.
4. 4 st. Louis Road, would furnish so car
loads of dirt, and probably more. Mr..
Tracy, superintendent Of the Rock Island
Road was not at home, and We have not
been able to see any person connected with
that road who was authorized to make any
agreement, but believe from all infOrma-
ton that we were able to obtain that the
several rail road companies mentioned will
al up the square an average depth of
eighteen inches. if the board of supervisors
will order the erection Of gOad and sub
stantial fence. To fill the squrre and av-
erage depth of Is inches, will require
1850 yards of dirt or a fraction over 700
ear leads " hich at cost IF 40 cents per
yard. would amount to the SUN of 81 $50
Your com. have assurances from the
city authorities of Joliet, that if the fehce
is built and the ground filed Is inches,
they will lay the same out in proper walks,
sod and plant the same in young trees and
shrubbery aud save the county any further
expense.
"Your com. proposed that there should
be a stone fOu nd0tiOn for the fence 18 in
ches thick, two fee: six inches high in
GLIDING coping stone 8 inches thick aud
81 inches wide which we are informed by
competent mechanics would cost SSSS. 90.
Mr. Lets Of Chicago, a we'll known mechan-
ic estimated that an iron fence four feet
six inches high, Of the pattern herewith
exhibited would cost 81 so per foot
THE distance around the square is 1906
feet, which would make :be iron part Of the
fence cost SIS .69T, to which would have to
be added the cost Of ten iron posts at 81 per
post, which makes the total cost of the
iron fence amt TO the sum of IS, 767 90.
ain this connection we would state that
the board Of supervisors Of this clunty at
the time they granted the right of way
across the square to the Rock Island Rail
Road company, required that said compa-
ny sEou put in Cattle guards at each
crossing Of the square, and should in ad-
ditiOn build O fence on the south side Of
the square from their road around to their
road on the east side Of the square, the
fence to be built in the same sty.e and
manner as the one the county may build.
THIS is distance of about $40 feet, which
would reduce the cost Of the iron fence and
foundation from Sc 655 90 to 81, $50 so,
which amt the boord would be required 10
make provision for if the fence is ordered.
Your com. think the work should be
done. and believe it as favorable period
for doing 1t, as we will probably have
for some time to come.
"If our pride does not prompt Us to do
it, we believe motives of interest beneficial
alike to all portions Of the county. should
induce US to redeem. if possible. Cur Court
House Square from its present dreary and
deeolate appearance"
"A!l Of which 10 respectfully submitted.
