a railing over the bridge-that the tlmbers sup
porting this log way, inside the river road, ttand
in a street that ends a few feet below the mill In
triangular fence corner, and said timbers are
high enough for any footman to keep under with
ease. As there Was no one to represent any es-
pccial damage, your committee concluded that
the complaint had beeu abandoned, and recon-
mend the passage OF the resolution at the con
clusiou of this report. We then proceeded to ex-
anime the opening of a street to Caketown. The
first proposition, to extend the alley that passes
the McEwen property, is utterly impracticable,
MS 1t cuts all the property through which il passes
to n great disadvantage, and the land necessary
is held at u very high rate. The second propo-
siton to extend 2nd street, also cuts part of the
land through which 1t passes very badly, and the
price of which is held very high In this case,
Messrs. Bycrly and Sivus offer the land needed
through their lots free but the other land required,
cutting the lots so badly, and being so high
priced, we report against this project also.
This leaves the third and last proposition, the
extension of centre alley, which we report in IA
vor Of Mr.. Grecnough offers this land along
the eastern end of his lot free. Mr.. Clement in
tends to charge for his, we believe. Messrs.
Frying, Bowen e Engel will give their land free
Messrs. Byery and Silvius think they should
have what they paid for the land taken off their
lot and Mrs. Donnel asks at the rate of $4,000
per acre for hers The bridge over the old canal
can be built cheaper here than ut any other
point, and the location needs less filling up. We
therefore recommend the passage OF the follow
ing HcSolCed, That the committee De discharged
from the further consideration of the nuisance at
! Rcagan's, aud they recommend that an extension
of Centre alley be the way by which to open a
street to Caketown, and that they be discharged
| from this subject also. Respectfully submitted.
! Committee continued and to report what the
/ land can be had for.

street TO said addition, and that Mr.. Bycrly, one
of the owners of the Simpson lot, says he and
