Referred to Committee on Streets.
Also,
Norman Wright and others petition
Committee present report from the City
Engineer thereon, as follows:
To the Common Council.
GENTLEMEN: ! return the petition of Nor
man Wright and Others and submit herewith a
profile for the change of grade of Third street,
from Sibley street to Pine street, which will
answer the wishes of the petitioners, and
which 1 think ought to be adopted. But in
Justice to nv predecessors in office who planned
and constructed the Third street sewer, / must
protest against the attempt by the petitioners
TO strengthen their case by an incorrect state
ment of the depth of the sewer below the street
grade and that after had furnished them with
a written memorandum of its actual depth.
While the sewer is not as deep as it should be
to drain deep cellars it is as low as it could be
made. It's top is nearly two feet lower below
the original grade than it is stated in the petl-
ton, and the height at which drains should be
admitted is two feet below the top.

Referred to Committee on Streets.
OF Committee on Police-M. f. Farrell's
petition
The Committee on Police, to whom was re.
ferred the petition of Michael f. Farrell asking
a restoration of his license, after an examina-
ton into the merits of Mr.. Farrell's request re.
port that to the Mayor is assigned the duty OF
having all the laws and the ordinances of the
city enforced. No license Can issue without
his approval and signature. and it is made his
special duty. whenever in his opinion it is nee.
essary for the good order, or proper observ.
anoe of the ordinances of the city, to revoke
any license which may have been issued.
Your COMMITTEES do not deem it any part of
the duty. neither do they think it would be
proper for the Common Council to interfere
with the Mayor, or attempt to annul his action
in the case under consideration. The ordi.
nance under which the revocation was made
only contemplates consent of the Council
when requested by the Mayor, which request
has not been made.
Let 1t be understood that all party whose
license may have been revoked has to do. is &c
run to some aldermanic friend, secure hear.
ing. and under the representations and state
ments that he and his friends may make
secure restoration of his license, then tn,
office of Mayor will become a farce and tn
rowdy element of the city may consider itsel
endorsed; the sooner that all classes of our cit
liens shall understand that the Common Coun
