Transfer
To the Common Council of the City of
ST. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: Arrangements have been
made for the bridging of the tracks OF
| the Minnesota Transfer Company on
the line of University avenue, the plans
having been agreed upon. 1t will be
necessary on the part of the city to build
1 about $50 feet on the west approach
over Cleveland avenue, at at approx
mate cost of $4,000. AS the cost of the
work to be done by the Transfer Com
pany will amount approximately to
Sl25,000, / think the city could get better
and cheaper work by letting it under
| fer Company, aud paying their proper
tionate share of the work. | would,
therefore, suggest that l be instructed
to prepare the necessary plans on the
| part of the city, and have the work let
i'll conjunction with the work to be done
by the Minnesota Transfer Company.
Yours respectfully, l.. w. RUNDLETT,
