/ The Committee on Streets, to whom

portion of Pulaski street extending be-
tween Taylor and Blanding streets, beg
leave to report that they cannot recon-
mend the same, as an ordinance exists
requiring all the streets to be opened on
the 1st of December, 1869. Believing
that no detriment will accrue to the city
by the leasing of such streets as are not
required for public use, your Committee
would recommend that the first section
of tho ordinance passed March 16, 1869,
requiring all streets to be opened on the
first OF December, 1863, be amended so
as to read as follows:
| ''Be ii ordained by The Mayor and Az
dermen Of the City Of Columbia, in Conncil
assembled, and by authority Of The same,
That on and after the first day of De.
cember, 1869, all the streets and parts of
streets that now, or may hereafter be
enclosed within the corporate limits of
said city, shall be opened to their ter
mination, North, South, East and West,
at their Intersections with the regular
boundaries of the city-excepting such
streets, or parts OF streets, as may be
rented, and on which the annual rent is
paid in advance, and an obligation given
by the occupant to surrender possession
whenever required by Tie City Cuunuil--
said rent to be paid to the Mayor, as he
may deem the streets to be worth"
Should Council amend the ordinance
as passed, your Committee would re-
commend the petition of Mr.. Rowe be
granted, in compliance with the ordi.
nance made and provided. All of which
is respectfully submitted.
On motion, the above report was re-
ceived as information, and the bill en-
titled, can Ordinance to amend an Ordi.
