Q3th) and Fourteenth (l4th) streets would
be greatly incon venienced, and as they as
sert in their protest numerousy signed, and
herewith submitted, seriously, if not IRE
parably damaged.
Nearly every lot on Thirteenth Q3th) and
Fourteenth (l4th} streets, between Jackson
and Canada streets, has been improved as
may be seen from the blue print herewith
submitted. From the profles of said last
mentioned streets, also herewith sub
mitted, the present grade OF said streets,
as well as the change OF grade
which will be rendered necessary by the pro-
posed changes Of grade of Jackson street
may be seen.
Fourteenth street has recently been
severed. graded, curbed and guttered and
water service laid therein, and is Justly re-
garded by the residents thereon as one of
the best and most desirable resident streets
in that part of the city, and the same may be
said of Thirteenth street.
The property on these two streets will be
most seriously affected. The grading of the
streets will be destroyed, the sewer and water
connections broken, buildings must be
raised and lots filled, water mains raised and
probably new sewers constructed.
In the opinion of the Board property can
not be found that will be benefited to the
extent of the damages and costs of the pro-
posed change of grade.
If any change of grade of Jackson street is
contemplated, in the near future, toe Board
are of the opinion that the jackson street
hill should be included with that portion of
the street referred to in your order. In that
case the expense of change Of grade of the
two sections of the street taken as whole
as one mprovement-would be materially
lessened. as the large quantity of material
which must be removed from the Jackson
street hill could be proftably util-
lied in making the necessary fills
on Jackson, Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, and which would be otherwise
wasted. In other words, the material in the
hill must be disposed of, and it would all be
needed to grade jackson, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets and the property abutting
on the same.
If the city continues to grow in wealth and
population for the next five years as health
fully and as rapidly as it has grown during
the past five years, it is safe to presume that
the public interests and welfare will demand
such change of grade of jackson street as
that above referred to, and make jackson
street one of the principal business arteries
of the city, and the Board are of the opinion
that when that time comes property can be
found that NAV be benefited to the extent of
costs and expense of making an improve
ment of that character and magnitude. Such
al improvement would unquestionably re-
ceive the approval of the Board.
For the reasons hereinbefore stated the
Board are of the opinion that the proposed
change of grade is not proper or necessary
and that the same should not be made.
And the Board are also of the opinion that
no expense for change of grade on Jack
son street should be incurred until after it is
made certain that the railroads will construct
the bridge over their tracks and right of way
on jackson street, agreeably to the terms
and provisions of the written agreement
with the city. Yeas 6, nays 0.
