Returning to the petition of John Schillo
and others in regard to Park avenue grad
ing, with the report of the committee on
streets thereon, and inviting attention to the
following report of the City Engineer there
on:
TO the Board of Public Works.
The change in the method of grading Park
avenue, which the petitioners ask for, would
considerably increase its cost. So far as I
can ascertain they do not represent more
than a fifth part of the property. The other
owners would probably object to an altera-
ton that would increase their assessments.
The width of the travelled part of the
street is being made "a feet, which is all
that can be had in the narrowest part of the
street. This is the same that was used for
Carroll, Arundel and Iglehart streets, and
there has not been any objection made to it
in single instance, although on one of these
streets there las been disposition shown to
find something to complain of. The width
between sidewalks, on Third street, at Jack
son, is 81 feet, and varies from "a to sc feet
between jackson and Wabashaw streets.
jackson street, between Third and Fourth,
is % feet; between Fourth and Seventh is 81
feet.
Any increase of width, beyond what is
needed for the travel, adds to the first cost
of the surface and to the after cost of re-
pairs, and to the amount of dust in dry
weather.
The proper way for the property owners
to treat the unusually wide part of this
street is to enclose the space between side
walks and cutters, and ornament it with grass,
trees and flowers, reserving their necessary
paths and driveways; and shall be glad to
advise and assist them in doing this. Between
Martin street and Melrose avenue the street
is only the usual width of 60 feet, and the
grass strip will be only or z feet wide FAC
cording to the width of sidewalk used), and
no more than enough for trees, and for the
snow which is shoveled off the sidewalks in
winter.
Very respectfully,
g j. s. SEwALL,
June 24th, 1879. City Engineer.
