prOYement, respectfully report that In max
ing the necessary investigation they invited
the cooperation of the property owners on
the line of the proposed improvement, and
met large number of them on said jackson
street by appointment, and caused careful
examination of the pavement in said street
to be made under the direction of the City
Engineer in the presence of the Board and
property owners.
A portion of the pine blocks in said pave
ment were found to be very much decayed
and utterly worthless for the purpose of re-
laying. A very large majority. of said blocks
were found to be in good condition, and
that the same could, if properly relaid with
such new material as may be necessary to
supply the place of decayed and worthless
material, render good service from three to
five years.
a majority of the property owners on the
line of said proposed improvement, in num-
bers as well as of the frontage, expressed a
decided preference for the relaying of the
old pavement, rather than at this
timesto be subjected to the greater, and as
they claimed to believe, unnecessary
expense of laying an entirely new pavement,
urging as a reason therefor that it was more
than probable that by the time the present
pavement, when relaid as proposed in the
would be strong demand for the cOnstruc-
ton Of a granite pavement on jackson
street.
That portion of the proposed improvement
lying between Third street and the southerly
line Of Fourth street will not necessarily be
affected by the laying of 4 double street car
track on jackson street. 1t is now in fair
condition, and could, with the comparatively
small expense necessary to pave that portion
Of the roadway gained by the setting in of
the curbstone to conform to the new west
line Of the street, be made to
render good service until such
time as a new pavement is
demanded. The necessary repairs to this
part of jackson street could be done by the
street force under the direction and super
vision of the City Engineer. and charged to
the Ward Fund.
1t is the unanimous desire of the four gen
tlemen, who own the eutire frontage on both
sides of jackson street, between Third and
Fourth streets, not to have that portion of
the street included in the order for relaying
said pavement
The Board believe that the wishes and
interests of the property owners should be
fully and fairly considered, and would there
fore respectfully report, that that portion of
said proposed improvement lying between
the southcrly line of Fourth street and
Seventh street is necessary and proper;
that the estimated expense thereof IS
3,75O, one-half of which need not be
paid into the city treasury before the contract
is let; that real estate to be assessed therefor
can be found benefited to the extent of the
| damages, costs and expenses necessary to be
incurred thereby; that said improvement is
not asked for by petition of q majority OF
the owners of property to be assessed there
| for, but we herewith send plan or profile
| of said improvement and an order for your
adoption if you desire US to make the i'm
provement. Yeas, 5; nays, 0.
