GENTLEMEN: Having examined the attached
papers, received from the Council, through
your honorable Committee on Streets, relating
30 the confessed Judgment of Mr.. Patrick NASH
to Messrs. Brougher & Dillon, amounting tc
$lSS 20, dooketed in District Court Ramsey
county, July %, $780, for work and material
claimed to have been furnished to Mr.. Nash
in the construction of the Rice street sew er,
during the year 1878, l am of the opinion that
Eessrs. Brougher & Dillon have no legal or
moral claim against the city of ST.. Paul arts
ing out of the construction of the said sewer.
The Council has no jurisdiction to purchase
judgments against citizens, to do so would be
a misdemeanor, under Sec. 9, Chapter 5,
Charter. But as Mr.. Nash confessed judg
ment to Messrs. Brougber & Dillon, thereby
showing an honorable intention to secure his
liability to them, and is anxious for speedy
settlement, and IS Messrs. Bro1gher q Dillon
are equally desirous, 1 respectfully recommend
The passage of the accom- pauying resolution in
structing the City Comptroller to withhold in
the Treasury the amount from Rlr. Nash's
final estimate for the grading of Rondo street.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The following reports Of the Board of
Public Works, which were laid over, or
ordered on file, were called up and acted
on, viz:
Extension of Burr street
To the Common Council of the City of St.
Paul:
The Board of Public Works, to whiah was re-
ferred the order of the Council for extending
and opening Burr street in Irvines addition of
out lots by condemning the necessary lands,
respectfully report that such opening and ex-
tension of said street would require the land to
be condemned &C feet wide through two blocks
in said addition, one of said blocks being be-
tween North street and Collins street. and the
other being between Collins street and the first
allev north of said street and parallel to it.
1t is the opinion of the Board that it is not
necessary or proper 10 open and extend Burr
street through the blocks between North street
and Collins street. Such opening would require
the condemnation of some very desirable and
eligible building lots, the expense of which
would be very large without any corresponding
public advantage.
The Board does recommend the opening and
extension of Burr street through blocks and
in Irvins's out los. Such opening will
bring BUR- street through to Collins
street and give the public an excellent route
via Collins street and Lafayette avenue to and
from the city.
The Board therefore reports with reference to
the opening and extension OF Burr street from
Collins street to the fret alley north thereby,
that it is necessary and proper.
Seoond-That they estimate the cost at
(3l ,000 10y one thousand dollars.
Tbird-That real estate can be found bene-
ftcd to the extent of damages, costs and ex-
penses necessary to be ipcurrea, they which
can be assessed.
Fourth-The improvement is net asked for
upon the petition application of the owners
of a majority of the property to be assessed for
such improvement
Fifth-aerewith is sent plan or profile of
said Improvement as required by law-marked
mo. One
Sixth-Also a proper order directing the
work to be done.
In this connection the Board calls attention
to plan mo. Two" herewith sent the Council.
Ii BUR street is opened and extend
ed in accordance with plan No.
One, there will be a jog in the
street where it intersects Mnnebaba street of
over 40 feet The Board is of the opinion that
there is no necessity for such an irregnlarity in
tits street in the plating of this addition. and
that in doing it the public convenience
and advantage has been made subservient to
private Interests. The Board would favor a
new order from the Council directing that the
street be straighted as shown on plan No
two" by taking the necessary land eff OF the
lots in Blocks and 4 in said addition, and
attaching the same to the corresponding lois
opposite, as shown by the blue c1or on plan
mo. two,' or if this csnact be done. by ad.
ding the same to the street and taking 60 feet
from the eastern side of'lot 8 in said addition
being the 66 feet next TO ard adjoining the liz {
between lois and 3. All of which is respctful
ly submitted.
