We can but congratulate the city
upon the result of the seasons work,
and recommend prosecution of the
same line Of improvement for the COM
ing year. 4s~
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the close adherence to duty, and
the strict economy praciiced by Capt.
Geo. ID. Messegee, our Street Commits
sioner, who has devoted his whole
time, and the experience of years of
efficient management, to the best in
terest of the city in the improvement
of its streets, walk-ways, bridges and
sewers. He has fully demonstrated
to the city, that "the laborer is worthy
of. his hire" and to your committee,
the fact that, no one who has occupied
the position heretofore, has ever at
tanned the results of the past year.
Your committee recommend the as
sessment of sufficient tax to raise a
revenue for street purposes for the en-
suing year of at least $12 900, believ-
ing that the taxpayers are satisfied
that the work done has been well
done, and with due regard to the
best interest of the city.
We further recommend the early
improvement of the following named
streets, to-wit:
Columbia, Union, Eleventh, Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth,
Jefferson, Eastside, Franklin, Wash
ington, Adams, and especially the
proper paving Of Main street from the
wharf to Ninth street and Patterson
street from its intersection with
Twelfth street to its southern ter
minus.
