OF Committee of Streets-Jackson Street
Grade
ITO the Honorable the President and Common
Council of the City of st. Paul
| GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Streets,
| Sewers and Bridges, to whom was referred The
matter of change of grade on jackson street
| and certain other streets, so as 10 make them
conform to jackson street, in case OF a change
on jackson street, respectfully report that tn e
proposition for change of grade on Jackson
! street is not new one by any means. That
| for several years it has come up for considera-
ton almost as regular as the seasons come and
| go; and each time elected considerable
amount of discussion and some feeling among
property holders. Conflicting interests came
to the surface with each raid upon your Com
| mittee; one class of property owners insist
upon change on jackson street. so that the
| grade through the bluff shall not exceed three
| ieet to the 100 feet, on the theory that in the
| near future large part of the railroad busi-
| ness of the city would have to be done at or
near the head of jackson street and that 1t
would lie an absolute necessity to have atleast
one street with an easy grade into the lower
| part of the city.
| oil Of tv
| that such grade would absolutely confiscate
| large amount of property lying at and near
! the foot of the Jackson street hill, by reason
of the immense fill and enormous assessment
| to pay for the Improvement. This class do
not object to any change on jackson street
| that will not neceSsltate a change on cross
streets; and another class of property owners
desire the grade to be kept as near the surface
| as possible, claiming that any material cut on
! the hill will inJure large amount OF desirable
residence property; that the city authorities
| are very much to blame for having permitted
| so much vandalism in allowing every Inherent
| teamster that wants load of sand to dig up
| the street until it has become almost lmpassl-
| BILE.
Your Committee do not fatter themselves
with the belief that any report they make upon
| the subject of the jackson street change OF
| grade-or grade--will give general satisfac-
| ton, yet with all the information they have
| been able 10 obtain, your Committee does not
| favor any change. Heretofore the grade of
| jackson street was established from the Mis-
sissippi river to Aurora avenue, and from the
south side of Sherburne avenue to point
short distance north of Winter street, leaving
without any established grade that part of
jackson street between Aurora avenue and
Sherburne street, and from the point before i'll
dictated north of Winter street to Minnehaha
street.
Your Committee recommend the establish
ment Of grade on jackson street from Au-
rora avenue to Minnehaha street where not es-
tablished, so that said grade, when established,
| will conform to existing grade.
