REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES.
Of Alderman of Second precinct of Fifth
ward and President of Board of Public
Works.
To the Honorable, the Common Council of the
the City of st. Paul:
The undersigned, the committee to whom
was referred the com nuication of the Board of
Public Works, dated January 5, 1850, respecting
the completion of the bridge in Kalamazoo
street and the approaches thereto, in inson's
addition, respectfully report, that the facts as
stated in said communication are substantially
true; that under an arrangement between the
city authorities aud the Chicago, St. Paul and
Minneapolis Railway company, the company
yards in Stinson's addition, and in 80 doing
have practically closed De Soto street. where it
crosses said street and railway track; that pur-
suant to the arrangement, the railway company
has constructed bridge in Kalamazoo street,
over the right of way AID across their tracks
that said bridge cannot be used by the public
until the same has been continued across
Fauquier street, distance of about IL feet, and
suitable approaches have been built;
that the cotinuation of said
bridge across Fauquier street
will cost about $500, and that temporary APP
proaches can be prepared for about $3.50 more.
That this work should be done with the least
possible delay, great inconvenience results
from the closing of these two streets to
travel; wherefore your committee recommends
that the Board of Public Works should be au
thorized and directed to let the work at once,
and assess the property fronting on said street
to pay for the same.
Your committee are further of opinion that
steps should be Immediately taken for open
ing and grading Kalamazoo street from North
street or Collins street to the city limits.
We report. however, that the completion of
the bridge and the approaches thereto should be
first attended to, aud said street thus put in a
passable condition.
The extension of the street from its present
southerly terminus To Collins street or North
street can follow afterwards in due time. All
