Chairman Committee on Healt

The Committee on Streets and Lanes to
whom was referred the communication Of B.
j. Cubbedge, calling attention to the cOndI-
ton Of floor of the trestle on Canal street. re-
spectfully report in favor of repairing said
trestle, the repairs being necessary. and rec
Ommend that the committee be authorized to
proceed with the work. j. II. HAMLET,
| Chairman Committee on Streets and Lanes.
Report adopted, and committee authorized
to have the necessary repairs done.
The special committee to whom was re-
ferred the subject Of opening certain streets
in that portion of the city recently burnt in
the fire of October 3lst. beg to report that in
the opinion Of your committee it is necessary
to open Joachim street, or rather to extend
Bay street from West Broad street through to
the Savannah river and Ogeechee canal.
taking Joachim and Bridge streets into the
extension, and making Bay street extended
eighty feet wide from Vest Broad street to
me canal. To accomplish this it would re-
quire forty feet to be taken of the lots
on the north side of Joachim street to
Stubs warehouse. and it would require
so feet to be eaken through the property
known StubDs' warehouse, all of the land
taken coming of of the southern part Of that
property TO Bridge street. which would then
have TO be wdened so as to conform to the
rest of the street. This would give a thor
oughfare much needed by the city for access
to property west Of canal, and as your com
mlttee are advised that the Central Rail
road Company will build a bridge across the
canal at the point where the extension of
Bay street would intersect the canal, your
nance be passed to carry out this extension Of
Bay street.
The only other change that they would
recommend Is that the width OF Canal street,
from West Broad TO Canal, be widened on the
south side, so as to be Of the width of 80 feet
from West Broad street to Canal.
Your committee feel authorized to make
! these recommendations, as they believe that
many of the owners of property will see the
advantages to accrue to their property BY
| these proposed extensions and widening Of
these important streets, and will in many
stances make liberal terms with the city
| looking to these Improvements.
