Co1aea q tia City Of Ssassls-GKSrLx-
MEN Your Committee on Streets, TO
whom was referred the petition of Jas.
faFks and others asking for the grad
ing OF MIL street, teQ 10 report that We
fully realize the importance Of Mill
street A. general thoro1ghfare. We
are convinced that the street oaaht TO
Dc graded; indeed, xe are Of opinion
that lt was a great mistake that ls was
not among the first streets 20 recsiye
attention from the hands Of the city
government. We and, hsvever, thai
there 10 nov outstanding about $4,000
Of unpaid grade scrip for work already
dSDe on the different strests. Property
owners are refusing 10 pay their grade
taxes-rasultinR in litigation, fault
finding and chickering's, having q tend
ency 10 depreciate our credit ss q city,
our scrip nov selling on the market az
a heavy discount. The above work will
necessarily be very expensive, there be-
ing deep cuts and heavy oils. Owing
70 the strinReney of the money mari et,
We doubs whether one third of the prop
erty owners along the street either have
the money on hand or kn0v where they
can obtain the same IL the work Do
ordered. Your COMMITTEES are Of opin-
ion that 10 would b very doubtful
stroke OF financial policy ct the present
10 order the work done. We recon-
mend that the petition for the present
be laid on the table, hoping that 10 the
nsar future times may % change for
The better that the work may be pros
