''Viaduct" C. ntraot, as it is not counter
signed, and to re-let under the assessment

L
tract for the viaduc:," and let
the entire balance of the permanent
roadway" in one contract as intended by
the legislation, which owing to the vast
number of descriptions of property liable
for the assessment and the fact that the
property is divided among large number
of owners, the assessment should not be
oppressive, as the average cost upon each
description will probably be consid-
erabIy less than for an ordinary
street grade. The distrio; court has
decided that all assessment con-
tracts must be let for an ertirety or fixed
price. Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, JOHN W. ROCHE,
City Comptroller.

OF City Engineer Street Paving
To the Common Council of the City of st.
Paul:
GENT1EMEN-The time for determining
| the amount of paving to be done next
year is at hand, and to bring the matter
before you, I herewith submit plan
showing the streets which think should
be paved during that time. The plan is
intended to cover as large an area as pos
sible for the purposes of economy in
cleaning the streets and the better protec-
ton of the paving. The great cost of
cleaning our paving now laid being the
carting off of the mud carried in from IN
paved cross-streets which makes il impos-
sible to keep the pav'Qg clean and largely
assists to decay the wooden blocks
of which the paving consists. The
plan represents system, having q
center of paved streets bounded by Broad
way, Third and Seventh streets with the
cross streets extending one block beyond
the boundary streets named, the object
being to give special care to those extend
ing blocks, thus Systematically protecting
the large area within.
| The streets referred TO are as follows:
Exchange street, from Third to Fifth
street; Franklin street from Third to Sixth
| streets; Washington street from Third to
Seventh; Market street. from Third to
Seventh; st. Peter street from Third to
| Seventh: Cedar street from Second to
Eighth; Minnesota street from Second to
| Eighth; Robert street from Second to
! Third; jackson street from Second to
Third: Sib!ey street from Seventh to
Eighth; Wacouta street from union de-
pot TO Eighth street; Rosahel street from
union depot to Eighth strest; Broadway
street from Third to Eighth; Fourth street
from Seven Corners to jackson; Fifth
street from Exchange to Broadway; Sixth
street from franklin to Broadway; Eighth
street from Wabashaw TO Broadway.
It is essential to the economical proseou-
| ton of the work that the contracts should
be LET as soon as practicable, that the
necessary material may be obtained dur
ing the winter. Respectfully,
". A. SoMERs, City Engineer.
