REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES.
or Committee on Third street Railroad
Bridge
To the Hon. the Common Council of the
City of st. Paul.
Your special committee appointed with
reference to bridging the railway crossing
on Third street, consisting of
Mayor G. D. O'Brien,
Council Committee on Streets,
City Engineer,
q. G. Starkey,
w. d. Cornish,
VIM. A. Van Slyke.
Respectfully report as the result of their
Investigations, that they are unanimously
of the opinion that said bridge should be
built without any delay. Aside from its
pressing necessity for business purposes,
it would greatly relieve the citizens Of
Dayton Bluff and the surrounding country,
who are now suffering on account of
the poor facilities in getting to the bust
ness portion of the CITY, From reliable
sources we understand that the bridge sim
| liar to plans herewith attached, can be
built in sixty days. The
necessity of this bridge
and the earliest construction of the same
requires no comments; your committee
would recommend a bridge with 20 foot
roadway, six foot sidewalks. The ap-
prosch on the west side should not exceed
| grade of five feet to the hundred.
