COMMUNICATIONS PROM STREET CONNIE
| 7es sIosER wHYrE.
A Communication was received from
Street Commissioner Whyte, calling the
at.en,ion Of Council 10 the necessity Of
] purchasing cobblestones for the repair Of
The streets and alleys where needed. Mr..
Whyte claims that in many places the
streets are absolutely dangerous, and un-
less put in better order may incur suits
for damages. He also asked authority
10 have curb reset on the east eide OF
Chapline street, between Alleys Is and
10, and on the south side OF sd
street, east Of Chapline, 1t be-
ing impossible for the citizens
owning property in thee places to com.
ply with the paving ordinance unless it is
done. The extensive improvements about
TO be carried on by the county on the Pen.
insula Road, Mr.. Whyte thinks, requires
that MeColloch street should be put in
| proper condition for public travel, and to
accomplish this lS-inch culyerts OF crock
tile are necessary on the north side Of
18Th and 10Th streets across McCol!och,
and on the east side Of McColloch from
Mrs. Shields corner TO one lately put 10.
The total amount Of pipe required would
be about 100 feet. The calvert on 18th
street, at the west end Of the 18th street
bridge, should be completed Of once, as
in Ia present condition It is more dan:
rerous than bsiore. The east ends Of
| 18th and 19lh streets are still being
rapidly washed away At each rain, and il
left in their present condition the city
will soon be compelled TO fill them up at
three or four times the cost Of the box
sewers, which would At present remedy
the difficulty.
The communication was referred to the
| Committee on Streets, Alleys and Grades,
