City and County Jail Site
To the Honorable the President and
Common Council of the City OF St.
Paul:
GENTLEMEN: Your committee to
whom was referred the matter of Iocat-
ing and purchasing site for city and
port: In compliance with your resOlu-
ton of Sept %, 1887, your committee,
in conjunction with similar committee
of the Board of County Commissioners,
met and instructed the County Auditor
to advertise Or~iSealed proposals for
furnishing the city and county with a
suitable site for jail. In response to
4. this advertisement thirty-nine bids were
received, all of which, at subsequent
meeting. were rejected.and the Auditor
directed to readvertiSe, to which adver-
tisement but six bids were received and
all but three rejected. From the begin
ming the joint committee regarded the
locating OF this site as most difficult
and delicate problem, and in order that
all might be heard and injustice done to
no one, held frequent meetings, at
tentively listening to the advice and
suggestions of representative organiZa-
tionS and individuals. Finally, after
mature consideration, it was the unani-
nous conclusion that for reasons of
economy and convenience the Jail
corners of Fifth and Cedar streets:
provided, however, that the Court House
Commissioners adopt the site so Sc
lected for the construction of their steam
plant in con junction with the Jail build
ing, thereby relieving the Court House
square of an unSightly structure, and by
utilizing one plant for the two build
lngs, materially reducing the cost of
construction, heating and maintenance.
Your Committee would, therefore,
submit the descriptions and prices of
fhrnN rNin of rs
in their opinion, should be purchased
for the object named, viz:
The northwest corner of Fifth and
Cedar streets, known as the CZeikOwitZ
corner, S5X100 feet, $40, 600; the northeast
corner of Fifth and Cedar streets, known
as the Warner corner, 10Ox1OO feet,
$4,000; the southeast corner of Fifth and
Cedar streets, known as the Smith,
Taylor d Rogers corner, S711ax1OO feet,
$4,000.
A majority of the joint committee
described property, to which minority
respectfully beg leave to object. Re
spectfully,
Jan. II, 1887.
A motion to adopt the report of the
committee prevailed by the following
vote:
YeaS-Ald. O'COnnOr, Weber, Kenny,
Kahn, Hamm, Bryant. Minea, Mr.. Presi-
dents.
Nays-Ald. Dowlan, Petsch, Cullen,
