Improvements for the Coming Season
To the Honorable the President and Mem
bers of the Common Council of the City
of st. Paul, MINI.
GENTLEMEN; On the 7th day of Deem
Der, 1885, this Board transmitted to your
honorable body communication relating
to street improvements to be made during
the next year (1SS6). In that communica-
ton this Board respectfully recommended
to the Council the propriety of early antici-
pating the improvements that would prob
ably be ordered for 1886, and requested the
Council to send to the Board orders for
such work without unnecessary delay, in
order that contracts might be let during the
winter and early spring, and the work on
such Improvements commenced at the
earliest practicable moment.
Your honorable body gave that commu-
nication and its recommendations favorable
consideration and the result anticipated by
the Board speedily followed The city had
under contract, prior to July /, 1886, more
improvements in number, and greater in
the cost thereof than the entire improve
mentS placed under contract in 1885.
1t will doubtless be conceded that the
improvements ordered by the Council be-
fore April 1, 1886, were placed under con-
tract for a smaller price, were earlier and
better done and have given better satisfac
ton than those which were ordered later in
the season.
In many cities all the improvements con-
templated being made in any one year are
