of St Paul.
GENTLEMEN: The Board of Public
Works respectfully return to your honor
able body the petition of the Scribner, Libby
company and Robinson u Cary herewith
enclosed. and desire briefly to state their
reasons for so doing.
The petitioners above referred to appeared
before this Board in person. and by c0un-
sci. and were given full and considerate
hearing. and were respectfully informed
that it was not in the power of the Board
to give them the relief asked for. for the
reasons that under and by virtue of the
provisions of section 80 title l, chapter Z,
of the charter of the City of st. Paul, (see
par. l59, pages 50 and So of the municipal
cOde), it is made the duty of the Board.
whenever any order shall be finally passed
by the Common Council. for Killing. grad
ing" ETC.. any street, lane alley or high
way. to cause said WORK so ordered to be
done. to be let and that after said work
shall have been placed under contract. to
proceed without delay to make the assess
ment for said work upon the property bene-
ited thereby.
The contract for the work referred to in
the within petition had been let and the
work to be done hereunder, had been
commenced and partially completed at the
time the petitioners appeared before this
Board. asking that the completion and
confirmation of the assessment for the con-
structiOn of the Third street approaches
be delayed, until the city could raise and
test the questions. in SAID petition referred
to. liz the proper judicial tribunal.
1t was not therefore in the power of this
Board to grant them any relief and the
Board so advised them.
The Board further informed the petition
ers that the only branch of the city govern
ment from which the relief asked for could
be obtained. was the Common Council, and
respectfully referred them to your honor
able body.
This Board fail to see any practical OBJ
iect to be gained by any one in sending
this petition to the Board of Public Works
for its consideration and action. The
Board had already heard the petitioners.
had informed them it would give them no
relief, and recommended that they should
apply to the Council. as the one and only
body that had the power to grant relief.
The Board, therefore, respectfully re-
turn the petition with the recommendation,
respectfully submitted, that the petitioners
be given an opportunity to be heard by the
Common Cooncil. or by its Committee on
Streets. WILLIAM BBRRETT,
President Board Public Works.
