To the Common Council of the City of st. Paul.
GENTLEMEN: The Board of Public Works
have had under consideration the order of the
Council for opening and extending street 3e
feet wide through block 20, st. Paul Proper,
and 40 feet wide through blocks 8 and 4, Hop
kins' addition, from Sibley street to Broadway
approved January 9Th, 1880.
The Union Depot company, by its President
and Secretary, have appeared before the Board
and advocated the opening of said street.
The property holders in block %, st. Paul
Proper, and blocks and 4, Hopkins addition,
have appeared before the Board, claiming that
the opening of said street was damage to
them and of no benefit, and that, in case said
street was opened as prayed for, they should
receive the full value of the property taken.
These property holders also submitted evidence
to the Board touching the value of the prop
erty proposed to be taken from them. This
evidence was to the effect that the damage to
the lots taken would be two or three times more
than the estimate of the Board, which was S25,.
900. No attempt was made to contradict this
testimony.
On the part of the Union Depot company, it
was claimed that proposing to give half the
street, their property could not be assessed to
pay these damages or any part of them. 1t was
also claimed on the part of the Union Depot
company that their property was not liable to
tax or assessment by the city authorities and
the statement was made to the Board that if
any part of the expense of opening this street
was to be laid upon the real estate of the COM
pany bordering thereon they preferred not to
have the street opened.
Under these circumstances, the Board have
felt it to be their duty to state the facts to the
Council, coupled with the recommendation
that the Council reconsider their order in this
matter, which is herewith returned, and either
lay the same on the table or vote it down. as
the Council in its wisdom may determine.
Respectfully, GEO. L. BECKER,
President.

REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.
Of Committee on Fire Department
report of Chairman thereof, as follows
To the Honorable, the President and Common
Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: / herewith hand you nv an
nual report for the past fiscal year, showing
the expenditures for the Fire Department
which have passed through my hands, and un-
der my supervision as Chairman of COMMITTEES
on Fire Department from May 9th, 1879, to
May 9th, 1880.
With the exception of four hundred feet of
White Anchor hose, the purchases of new ma
terial have been light, coniuing ourselves to
the purchases of only small articles actually
necessary.
Owing to the rapid growth of our city and
consequent increased danger from larger fires,
it may be thought best to add few more men
to Hose and Hook & Ladder companies.
For details of the working of the Depart
ment, we refer you to the report of the Chief
Engineer. THos. GRACE,
Chairman Com. on Fire Department.
