| 10 the Honorable the President and the Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Streets,
| City Attorney and Aid. Trott, Robert and
Griggs, to whom was referred the communi-
Gallon of the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
u Omaha Railway company in regard to the
passage of an Ordinance granting to said Com
| pany The use of certain streets and alleys in
| Kittson's addition for railroad warehouses,
| depots and other purposes connected with its
business as a common carrier; report:
| That during the year 1879, the st. Paul
| Business Union with the consent and approval
| of the Common Council Of the city st. Paul
agreed with certain railroads then running into
the city of st. Paul that the Common Council
of said city would grant certain privileges and
| rights as 10 the use of certain streets and al
| leys in Kittson's addition.
The rights and privileges granted by the
| ordinance referred to in the communication
of said company being the same as were
agreed to be given said company, and as said
company have gone on in good faith, graded
streets, built warehouses and freight depots,
and laid tracks; relying upon the good faith
| of the Business Union and Common Council
to carry out their agreement as they did with
the Northern Pacific Railroad company. Your
| Committee are clearly of the opinion that it
would be an act of bad faith upon the part of
the Common Council to refuse to pass the
IOrdinance.
Your Committee therefore recommend the
passage of the Ordinance.
Aldermen Robert and O'Connor, of the
Committee do not concur in this report.
