CHANGE OF FRoNT-srREET GRADE.-The
following is the communication of J. II. Viii
kinson, Resident Engineer Of the Central
Pacific Railroad, to the Board of City Trus-
tees yesterday in relation to a change in the
grade OF Front street, in connection with the
construction OF the new freight depot: 90 1t is
the intention of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company to build a new freight depot on
Front street, and make material improve
ments to the tracks pertaining thereto. The
buildings will be placed on the west line of
the street, and be 90 feet in width, extending
from the north line Of X street to about 100
feet north Of the north line of j street. with
the intention OF further extension to the
south line Of | street when required. To &C
commodate trucks, and facilitate the
handling Df merchandise, it will be
necessary to change the grade of the
two blocks between X and | streets,
on the west side. Mr.. Bassett and myself
have locked over the matter carefully, and
fad that this can be accomplished without
changing the grade on the east side or det-
riment to the property. We would propose
to put in cesspools in the center Of the street
and midway between | and J, and j ard X
streets, with proper drains To the river. We
would make grade of six inches each way
from the street crossings to the center of the
blocks. The railroad company viii put in a
proper pavement on the west side to the
center Of the street and construct the cess
pools and drains. They would ask the co.
operation Of your honorable Board and the
property owners on the east side in making
the pavement conform to the proposed grade.
VIII your honorable Board take such action
in the matter Is you deem proper at Your
earliest possible convenience, and oblige,
yours respectfully, !. Il. WILKINSON, Resi-
dent Engineer Central Pacific Railload Com
pany."
