IN T.ofo 10
10 the Honorable the Common Council of the
City of st. Paul:
The committee to which was referred the re-
port from the Board of Public Works to the
City Council on the resolution relating to the
grading of Lafayette avenue from Grove street
to Collins street, respectfully report that they
have duly considered the same and have had
before them the residents and property owners
on said avenue, as well those opposed as
those who favored the improvements.
The discussion before the committee elected
the fact, which was conceded on all sides, that
the proposed improvements were necessary and
proper, the great objection on the part of those
opposing being the estimated cost of the work
and the a! prehension that the assessment there
Tor would be confined to the property fronting
on the avenue, whereas the benefits resulting
from the proposed improvements would be
spread over large area not fronting on said
avenue,
To meet this objection the committee unan-
lmously resolved in view of the estimated cost
OF the improvements, and of the large section
OF the city which needed and would use this
completed thoroughfare, that the contemplated
improvements were of a character which would
justify the Board of Public Works in making as
sessments on property not fronting ON said ave-
nue., which derives common benefit from its
use.
Those who had opposed the work expressed
themselves satisfied with the action and with
drew their objection to the proposed improve
ments.
Your committee, therefore, report the matter
back to the Council for its favorable action.
and recommend, in addition, the following res
olution:
Resoloed, That in view of the cost of the con-
templated Improvements on Lafayette avenue
and the Importance and necessity of the same
to large portion of the city not fronting
thereon, but Immediately contiguous thereto,
it is the opinion of the Common Council that
the Board of Public Works, in assessing for
the same, should not contine itself to the prop
erty fronting on said avenue. All of which is
respectfully submitted,
August 81, 1873.
