GENTLEMEN: On the first Tuesday in April,
1870, the following resolution was referred to
the Committee on Streets, viz: .ss~s.s..-.

cember 18th, 1878, changing the grade of Sixth
=
hereby repealed. -...si.-
This resolution was, at q subsequent meeting
of the Common Council, reported back by the
committee and recommitted without action.
While your committee disagree as to what ac-
ton should be had in the matter, they are
pass or be rejected without further delay, as
property owners along the line of the street,
want the matter settled definitely, either one
thing or the other. The same may be said of
report of the Committee on Streets in regard
to q change of grade on Fourth and Fifth
streets, between Maria and Hoffman avenues,
which was submitted some four weeks ago, and
gest that it be taken up and disposed of one
way or the other. Respectfully,
JOHN DowLAH, Chairman.
- Accepted and adopted. (See resolution.)
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 10, 1879.
To the Honorable, the President and Common
OOuuCll Oh ZIG OlCy Oh raul:
GENTLEMEN-A majority of the Committee
on Streets, Sewers and Bridges, to whom the
matter of the change of grade on Fourth and
Fifth streets in the Fifth ward was referred,
respectfully report:
That after a rehearing of the matter, they
find no reason to change their opinion as ex-
pressed in their report to the Common Council
in March last, in regard thereto, and now, as
then, your committee "Have come to the con-
ciusion that the best interests of large ma
jority of the property owners along the line of
Fourth and Fifth streets, a. also that of the
public, require the restoration of the grade to
where it was before the change in 1876. As to
the time when it shall be graded, if the grade
be restored, we leave to the property owners
along the line of the streets or the future
growth Of the city to determine. Years may
elapse before this is required, as we UNDER
stand that none of the property owners desire
the street to be graded at this time.'' q
saTo carry out this report an order is herewith
submitted for the approval of the Common
Council. Very respectfully,
JOHN DOwLAN, Chairman of Committee.
Accepted. The following resolution was
then offered, put and lost:
BY Aid. Dowlan: That the City Engineer ia
hereby instructed to report profile for
