10 the President and Common Council !:
GENTLEMEN: Enclosed find draft of contract
between William Leonard and the City of St.
Paul for the construction of a cistern at or near
the corner of Maria avenue and Fifth
| streets.
Upon consultation with the City Comp
| troller learned that it was not necessary
to draft an ordinance to set apart funds to
pay for building said cistern, as there is
funds in the treasury applicable to that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Leonard has not executed bond for
the faithful performance of said contract,
his understanding is that it is not necessary
as there is no money to be paid until the
final completion of the work; he claims
if bond has to be given, he will expect es-
Inmates and payments during the progress
of the work. Very respectfully,
! w. p. MURREY, City Atty.

Permit me to call the attention of the

Preventing treasurer's receipt for $40 for
work done for private parties, and the fol-
lowing communication:
To the City Council:
enclose statement of money received
from private parties for work done by this
Office, also of charges not paid to date. 1t is
often necessary to make plans for and to
superintend private connections with sewers,
and it belongs to the duties of the superin.
tendent of sewers TO see that such work il
properly done. But I do not think it ought
to be inspected by the city's employees at
the city's expense, and I propose to make
charges for it on account Of city whenever
It is necessary to make more than one visit
