THE CITY ENGINEER
reported as follows:
In petition Of Calkins. Clapp & Co.,
in reference to grading Temple street, /
find the petition shows a majority OF
property holders, and therefore trans
nit an ordinance to grade and curb.
This wss passed.
In the mater OF grading Broadway
from Temple street to Sand | find AZ feet
over majority OF necessary frontage on
the protest.
MIR. Munson opposed the protest. He
said that in spite OF the fact that a
courthouse erected at a cost of 81 000,-
600, these people want to have one un-
graded block to deface an otherwise
handsome and Commodious street. He
believed tho city should demand the
grading OF these streets in spite OF this
protest of mossback property holders.
He regarded the protest of these people
as preposterous. The city should go
ahead and improve that street, which is
improved north of Sand street, az well
as south of Temple. On motion Of Dir.
Nickel, the matter was referred to the
Board of Public Works and the city at
torney.
The protest of property holders on
