The First and Second ward members hav-
ing reported In the matter Of the order of
Council to Board for formal report on setting
granite curbstone and relaylng pavement on
Jackson street, the following report was
ordered sent to the Council, to-wit:
To the Common council OF the City Of ST.
Paul.
The Board OF Public Works have had under
consideration the resolution or order Of the
Common Council. approved August @, 1884,
relative TO the matter of setting granite curb
stones and relaying pavement on Jackson
street, from Third to Seventh streets. and
having investigated the proposed improve
ment respectfully report that IN making the
necessary investigation they invited the CO.
operation 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 q careful
examination OF the pavement in said street
10 he made under the direction of the CITY
Engineer in the presence of the Board and
OF the property owners.
A portion OF the pine blocks in said pave
ment were found TO be very much decayed
aud utterly worthless for the purpose OF re-
laying
4 very large majority of said blocks were
found b. be in good condition and that the
same would, If 0-operly relaid with such new
material "a mas be necessary to supply the
place of decaycd 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 ~ OF the frontage. expressed a
decided preference for the relaying OF the
old pavement, rather than, at this time, to
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. pave
ment, when relaid as proposed I'm the order
of the Council. was worn out, there would
be n strong demand for the construction of
4 granite pavement on jackson street. It 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 curb stone to conform
to the new west line of the street. be made
TO render good service until such time 8. a
new pavement il demanded. The necessary
repairs to this part OF Jackson street could
be done by the street force under the direc-
ton aud supervision of the City Engineer,
and charged to the ward fund.
1t is the unanimous desire OF the four
gentlemen who own the entire 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 reIaying
said pavement
The Board believe that the wishes and in
terests Of the property owners should be fully
and fairly considered. and would therefore
respectfully report that that portion of said
proposed improvement lying between the
southerly line OF Fourth street aud Seventh
street IS necessary and proper, that the esti-
mated expense thereof is 80. $50, 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 ex-
penses necessary 70 be incurred thereby; that
said improvement is not asked for By a
majority OF the owners OF property to be as
sessed therefor, but we herewith send plan
OF profile Of said improvement and an order

improvement Teas, 3; nays, 0.
