REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STREETS.
TO the Hon, Mayor and City Council of the City
GENTLEMEN: Your committee TO whom
was referred the resolution of Alderman
Patier concerning the lowering of the G. &
V. X. X. Cos tracks, would respectively re-
port as follows.
We tind that said railroad company was
by ordinance passed April 10th, 1870 grant
ed permission to lay two tracks on Com.
mercial avenue to grade We also find that
an ordinance was passed February 10Th,
1873 granting permission to SAID railroad
company to lay their cross ties on the sur
fece of the street as it then was, which
would virtually give them permission to
place their track so that the top Of same
would be about one foot above the street as
it then was. In order for your committee
to determine how much, if any, said tracks
are above grade, the employment of an
engineer would be necessary, thereby Great
ing an expense which your committee did
not feel authorized to do, and inasmuch as
Commercial avenue will undoubtedly soon
be improved your committee would recon-
mend that the matter be postponed until
such time as the city may consider it expe
dient to improve SAID street

HIS AWFUL ERROR.

A gentleman sat the eventide +.
In doorway fair to see,
His wife was gone to neighbor's house,
And in despair cried he
stStyli,es-like I'll not stay here
And think DER all mysin,
But 60 to bed and forget it soon"
So through the gloom went i'm.
"And LORD" he prayed, "Thou merciful
. grant my one request.
Keep Jane away until Pvehad
Somewhat of needed rest"
But soon as ever he had dropped
Into dream of races,
Returned his wife, disrobed and felt.
Under the pillow cases.
"Wha, gone! Do vou-William, my dear,
Where is it? Have you seen
Ny gown anywhere tonight?
Come help me? Don't be mean!
l can't YOU know the curtains up,
Turn on the gas and hand
From out-Oh dear, you horrid wretch!
You've got it on! my land. ~
The light went down, in hurried way,
And he from out the garment,
And, for an hour or two was taught
What ante-sleeping war meant.
