The Committee of Ways and Means
reported the monthly report of the City
Clerk for July as being correct Con-
cnrred in.
The Committee on Streets submitted
the following report
The Committee on Streets beg leave
to submit the report of Mr.. James
Fraser, Street Overseer, of the expendi-
lures in building a culvert on Plain
street, on the direct route to the South
Carolina Penitentiary.
From the report, it will be seen that
the expense to the city amounts to
S332.8I; while the actual value of the
work done, at low estimate for con-
tractors prices, would amount to
80, AGA. so, thereby effecting saving to
the city of So. .131.69.
This work has been done under the
superintendent of Mr.. Fraser, the Street
Overseer, who is entitled to great credit
for the permanence with which the cul-
vert has been constructed, which, from
present appearances, will remain in good
condition as long rs any other work of
similar kind.
Your committee feel that they are
much indebted to Gen. G. J. Stolbrand,
Superintendent of the South Carolina
Penitentiary, for materials to build the
culyert on Plain street, and for labor
in constructing the same, and in open
ing said street to tho Penitentiary, to
which they attribute the great saving
made in the report of the Street Over
seer, which, apart from the convenience
OF having direct road to the Peniten-
tiary, will ultimately enhance the taxable
property on the line of said street.
Your committee, therefore, beg leave to
offer the following vote OF thanks to
General Stolbrand:
Resolred. That the City Council of Co.
lumbia, approaching the kindness of
Gen. G. j. Stolbrand, Superintendent of
South Carolina Penitentiary, in furnish
ishing labor and materials to construct
the culvert on Plain street, and in open
ing said street to the Penitentiary, do,
in behalf of themselves and the citizens
of Columbia, tender to him their thanks.
Resolced, That the City Clerk furnish
to General Stolbrand copy of the fore
going resolution.
Your committee would state that, with
the exception of filing up at the culvert,
the material for which are already dug
up by the Penitentiary hands, this work
is completed, and will be entirely finished
in course of next week.
The drain in Davis alley is progress
sing rapidly, and your committee would
recommend that all wagons larger than
those drawn by one horse he prevented
from driving in said alley, until the work
becomes permanently settled. Also,
that the owners of the, property be re-
quired to lower the cellar doors in the
alley to the grade of the same. Re-
spectfully sumbitted.
JOHN AGNEW,
JACOB HUSSUNG,
Committee.
The above report was received and
adopted.
