CHAs. TnUMBULL,
The superintendent OF streets offered the
Y flowing report:
~ Co. the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
! wish to submit to your consideration
whether or no it is policy to allow the put
ting of all garbage in streets and alleys,
whether graded or not graded, such as
ashes and manure whereby there is
at times quite an argument liable To arise
of where each ones respective line or
amount of garbage to take away is con-
cerned.
I'd. | would also ask the council to in
struct me as to the rights of the erection of
wooden awnings and their supports OF
wooden posts to rest in the center Of the
side walk or near the center of the same or
whether such support is allowed on any
portion of said sidewalk, as there are quite
a number of such awnings in this city.
Sd. Please give me the regulation width
of sidewalks on Front street as the crdi.
nance does not cover IT.
4th. Would it not be better in regard to
wood and hay that is brought into this
city for sale, to have it one OF the least
travelled streets designated as q market for
the sale of each, whereby, it would keep
the scattering of hay and parcels of wood
and lessen the crowded conditions of our
streets, which often occurs, and whereby the
purchaser might be benefited by going d.
rect to the designated market place for
either article.
Respectfully,
NJ. NJ. SwINGLER,
Supt. of Streets.
The committee appointed to examine
