GENTLEMEN: On the 10Th day of Septem-
Der last, j. j. Mullen, for himself and others,
presented petition to the Common Conn
Gil, asking that the distractions be removed
out of East Fifth street, between CONNER
cial street and the right of way of the Saint

struction to which the petitioners referred
were nine small buildings, occupied as homes
by poor men, some of whom have been in
the occupancy of the street for years. On
the 9TH day of October, you adopted the re-
port OF the Committee on Streets, and in
structed this department. to give notice to all
/. persons to remove all distractions upon East
Fifth street, between the points above named
On receipt of your order / requested the

buildings occupied as homes for like num-
Der of families, with the names of the per-

had complaints made, and the parties ar
rested and brought before the Municipal
Court. Upon investigation found them all
to be quite poor, some of the occupants
widows with large families; others in poor
health, all without means to secure other
homes at this time of the year; nearly all of
them with their limited supply of vegetables
laid in, and their houses banked up for the
winter, and as the city did not want to grade
the street and open it for travel this wear. it
was a question with me whether the Common
Council Qf they were advised as to all the
facts) would insist upon an enforcement of
its order at this time; at all events, / have
taken the responsibility to continue the sew
eral cases, and submit the matter to YOU for
further instructions.
All the parties have assured me that early
in the spring that they will seek other loca
tons and remove from the street. Respect
fully,
w. P. MURRAY, City Attorney.
