Of City Engineer-Tenth Street Open
ing
THE following communication of the
City Engineer, addressed to the Commit
tee on Streets, was presented by the chair
man of said committee)
To the Committee on Streets
By the opening Of Tenth street from Canada
to Broadway streets, a strip four feet wide
being part of Block s, in Hoyt's Addition, Is
left on the north side of the street.
The street is laid out straight by said open
ing. The sidewalks have been built four feet
too far north on both sides of the street, tproD-
ably by private owners), it has not been built
by city since 1872 thus making jog which
ought not to be there. The city has the right
to move the walks on both sides of the street
about four feet south, thus Strengthening IT.
don't think there can be any question as 10
the proper line of the street. Very respect
fully, (Sgned) j. s. SEwALL,
Jan. <. 1851. City Engineer.
Referred IN Committee on Streets and
City Attorney.
Edmund Rice's Communication
To the Common Council.
GENTLEMEN: The grading OF Acker
street, and the streets above the pro
posed park at the proper grades, put
with road ways only 80 feet wide, will cost,
including two trestle bridges across the creek,
$500. If the grading be 70 feet VIDE, ana
bridge so feet, the cost Will be 80, 100. Neither
estimate allows for paved cutters, or for any
thing but the earthwork and trestle bridges.
If the proposal of Mr.. Rice to give the park to
the city be accepted suggest that Vale street,
and so much OF the alley in block IL, as is in
the proposed park, be taken off from the map,
and that Whitehall street be extended to Park
street, forming the north boundary OF the
park, and that the city have the right to draw
of the pond temporarily at any time when
necessary to clean it, or to facilitate the con-
struction Of any roadway, culyert, sewer, or
other public work therein.
Chapel street in the northwestern part OF
the addition, ought not to be accepted. Nils
sissippi street, as shown by the shaded and
dotted lines is legal street, that cannot be got
rid of except by going through the usual pro
cess of vacation, and is better than the pro-
posed substitute Four of the streets have
names that are already in use; Park, Pleasant,
Prospect and Wood.
/ think that the continuation Of Poplar
street, in E. Rice's addition, as shown by pen
Gil lines in the northwest part Of the addition
ought to be provided for. Respectfully,
J. S. SEwALL, City Engineer.
