CIVIL ENGINEERS REPORT.

From the report of the Civil Engineer, Thos.
F. Chapel, it appears that profles OF thirty
streets have been made having total length
Of 6 93 miles.
Plans have been made of Cutter street; Ex
change numbering; proposed widening OF
Franklin street; site for the Maine General
Hospital; new location of horse railroad Oh
CIugress street; proposed location of marginal
street from Fish Point to Commercial street;
proposed Improvements on Western Promen-
AIDE; STRENGTHENING OF Spring street opposite
May street; city property on Portland and
Weymouth streets; proposed continuation of
Spruce street; Richardson Wharf Company s
property on Centre street; wharves previous to
the building OF Commercial street; sewer lots
on Winter, Pleasant, Spring, Bracelet, Mount
fort Exchange and Mellen streets; Ea. tern
Promenade; tracing of the whole OF the city
from the United States Coast Survey plans.
The bad condition of street lines deserves
the earliest possible attention. Some OF the
street lines have not been run for fifty or sixty
years, AID all the monuments and other points
mentioned in the records are entirely gore
thus allowing encroachments to be made with
impunity. In this way some streets have di.
mlnished even five feet from their recorded
width Many of the monuments put down tt
| fix these lines are too short, and have beer
moved by the frost and other causes which reu
ders them worse than useless, therefore be re
commeuds that those lines be run and new
monuments be put down as soon as possible.
