REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.
OF City Observation-Disclosures
To the City Council of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: Some years ago there was
constructed, under aud with permission of
your honorable body, trestle bridge leading
from the Seventh street embankment north
along Brook street, down into the Trout
Brook valley.
Surprising this bridge to be a private mat
ter and to have been con-
structed entirely for private use,
have never made any repairs or paid any
attention to its condition.
Finding that the bridge was dangerous I
closed it, but the fence has been torn down, 1
therefore respectfully ask for in
structions, and suggest that the
bridge must be either thoroughly repaired
or torn down, as it will be impracticable to
prevent its use if left standing. Respect
fully, W. A. SoMERs, City Engineer.
