Of City Engineer-Robie Street Grad
ing
To the Common Council of the City of
st. Paul.
GENTLEMEN: In regard to the petit
ton from A. A. Price and others for the
grading of ROBBIE street, between Hall
avenue and Stryker avenue, the work
to be done by Mr.. n. J. Ness, would
offer the following report: Mr.. Ness.
of course, expects to get his pay for do
ing this work by Quarrying the stone
from the street. / do not know that
there is any particular objection on the
part of the city to his doing so, provided
the work is properly done and within
reasonable time, and provided, further,
that the property owners who petition
for this work fully understand that on
account of this grading they will not be
| released from their proportiOnate share
of the assessment for grading the re-
mainder of the street. L would there
fore recommend, provided you grant
permission to Mr. Ness to do this work,
that Mr.. Ness will enter into contract
with the city to do the work in the same
manner that the other streets in the i'm
mediate vicinity are graded; that Mr..
Ness or the property owners shall pay
the cost of engineering and inspection;
that the whole work shall be completed
on or before Nov. /, 1888, and that a
bond in the sum of at least ,0G0 be re-
quired for the faithful performance and
execution of the contract. Respectfully
submitted, L. w. RUEDLETT,
City Engineer.

Of City Engineer and Corporation At

/ .lSt. Paul.
GENTLEMEN: The inclosed letter from
W. Ii. Truesdale. president of the Min
| neSOta Transfer Railway company. con-
tainS proposition for the building of a
| l4fQSC vi I JlNCl tNCnuC. ttClOSo lllC,
| right of way of the Minnesota Transfer
company. This proposition is in ac-
| cOrdance with the general agreement of
| the different railway companies with
| the city of st. Paul, whereby the former
| agree to build the necessary bridges and
| the latter to construct the approaches
and maintain the same after acceptance.
| Under this proposition the city, in addl-
ton to grading the earth approaches
| (Which will be included in the contract
| for University avenue grading now
being advertised, are required to build
| about $50 feet of bridge, from the center
| of Cleveland avenue west. This is rem
dered necessary on account of the adj
visibility of having Cleveland avenue
connect with University avenue at
| grade, and maintaining a driveway on
each side Of the approach, in order not
| to damage the property between Cleve-
land avenue and Vanda1ia street. We
would estimate the cost of this to the
city at S22, 1000. The Transfer company
| will have about 1,200 to bridge, the esti-
NOTED cost of which will be about
| $4,000, The width of the bridge is a
compromise between the original propo-
StiOn of the city and the desires of the
Transfer company, the city asking for an
eighty-foot bridge, and the Transfer COM
pany being only willing to build to a
width of forty feet. The proposed
plan contemporaries SiXty-foOt bridge,
with roadway of forty feet, which is
| four feet wider than the roadway on
Dayton avenue, where the ashphalt is
| now laid, and we believe it will give all
the facilities for public travel that will
/ be required in that locality.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
! speedy action should be taken in regard
| to this matter, for we are now advertis-
ing the contract for grading University
avenue, from Lexington avenue to the
west city limits, and in order to COM
piete the bridge by the time the grading
is finished, it is absolutely necessary
| that there be no delay in letting the
contract for the iron work. Respect
fully submitted, w. P. MURRAY,
Corporation Attorney.
