OF Committee on StreetsA
COMO AVENUE
To the President and Common Council of the
City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Streets to
whom was referred the report of the Board of
Public Works, on the resolution to grade Como
avenue, report that while they in common with
large number of the citizens of st. Paul, are
in favor of grading Como avenue, they cannot
assent to the proposition that one-half of the
entire cost thereof shall be paid for out of the
general funds of the city, or as stated by the
Board of Public Works, "one-half to be as
thing. Your committee believe that Como
Park should be assessed the same az other prop
erty to the extent it may be found benefited,
and no more. If property cannot be found
benefited to the extent of the cost and ex-
penses necessary to be incurred in grading
Como avenue, should it be graded? Your COM
mlttee doubt the propriety of changing rule
requiring property to be assessed for grading
| streets even to grade Como avenue by paving
| part of the cost out Of the public treasury
under the pretext that it is chargeable to prop
erty owned by the city, and in this they think
u
concur with them.
Your committee believe that for the present
needs of the city, and for years to come
grade forty feet in width will be entirely am
pie, taking the engineers estimate of the cost
VIZ Sl4, 600, as the basis, land if not contract
ed Tor until after harvest. your committee be-
lleve street forty feet in width can be graded
Tor So 0OD,) there can be no doubt but proper
ty can be found benefited to that extent, and
1t 80 the improvement should be made.
Ii the Board of Public Works will concur in
the suggestions of your committee to grade
Como avenue forty feet wide, and assess the
cost and expense on the property benefited,
your committee would recommend the adop-
ton of the proper order whenever the Board of
Public Works shall have indicated it's approval
That the Board of Public Works may be fully
advised as to the views of the Common Coun-
port IN the matter be recommitted to them.
