The board of public works at it's meet
ing yesterday adopted the following re-
port:
In the matter of proposals for grading
Eleventh street between Vernon and
Alvarado streets, we find that only one
bid has been submitted, and the prop
erty owners interested claim that the
same is exhorbitant. We therefore re-
commend that the city clerk be in
structed to readvertise forbids.
In the matter OF the bids for grading
Girard street, we find the conditions
the same as in case above stated, and
therefore recommend that the city clerk
be instructed to readvertise for bids.
In the matter of proposals to grade,
curb and cement sidewalk Winfield
street from the west line of Sentous
street to the east line of Providence
street, we recommend the acceptance of
the bid of P. M. French, at 2.50 per
lineal foot for grading and 30 cents per
lineal foot for curb, and 16 cents per
square foot for sidewalk, and that the
acco -npanying resolution of award be
adopted.
In the matter of the proposals for
grading and curbing DAILY street, be-
tween Downey avenue and Hawkins
street, we recommend that all bids be
rejected, and present proceedings aban
doned, and new proceedings instituted
to grade and curb the said street, under
specifications No. 8.
Recommend that the chain gang, un-
der the direction of the street superin.
tendent and the city engineer, construct
a way for storm water at the intersec-
ton of First and Tanning streets, in
accordance with petition No. 53S.
Recommend that the street gu perrin
tendent place new plank crossing over
the zanja running across the alley align
ing the wholesale house OF Whittier,

Recommend that the street superin-
tendent be instructed to road up Second
street, between the graded portion of
said street and the portion of said street

of Alameda street.

tendent level up Third street, between
Alameda and WolIskill streets. i
In the matter of petition No. 55S,
from W. L. Wells, asking the council to
order the city engineer to prepare plans
and specifications for the improvement
of Buena Vista street, we recommend
that the matter be referred to the city,
attorney and city engineer, and that the
petition be granted if there is no legal
objection.
On petition No. 555, from John Lowell
ct al, for the council to grant them per-
mission to grade Broadway between
Tenth and Main streets, by private con-
tract, we recommend that the petition
be granted, provided all portions of said
street are graded.
On petition No. 552, from P. R. David
son ct al, for the council to order ce-
ment sidewalk, six feet wide, con-
structed on the north side of Eleventh
street, between Pearl and Georgia Bell
streets, we recommend that action be
deferred for two weeks, as property own
ers have expressed a desire to do the
work themselves.
In the matter of petition No. 554,
from Mrs. Clara F. Howes, to be allowed
to remove surplus dirt from Royal street
in front of her property, we recommend
that petition be granted. providing the
street superintendent and city engineer
find no objection thereto, and we recon-
mend that petition be referred to those
officers.
In the matter of petition No. 541,
from l. S. Ihrug ct AL, for council to
order Thirtieth street graded, curbed
with cement, and cement sidewalk
five feet in width constructed, between
Grand avenue and Main street, grading
to be done with the natural gravel, we
recommend that the petition be grant
ed, and that ordinance of intention be
passed to do said work under specifca-
tions No. g.; and that it be further spec
ified therein that at least four inches of
good gravel (other than the gravel on
said street, shall be placed on such por-
tions of said street as the street super
intendent may in his judgment deem
necessary.
Recommend that protest No. 556,
from J. H. w. Pattison ct al, against
closing an alley in the Mayo tract, be
filed, as the petition to close said alley
was denied at the last session of the
council.
In the matter of the proposals for
grading a portion Of Hope street, be-
tween First and Fourth streets, we rec
ommend that all bids be rejected and
proceedings abandoned, as legal pro-

with grading at this time.
