THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

on Ionday.


on nonday.
1t is probable the Council will have a
busy meeting on Monday, but the major
ity of the work it will do will be upon
matters which will be presented during
the session, and therefore cannot be fore
casted. The Board of Public Works will
make the following recommendations:
In the matter of petition from George
Cummings and others asking that the
grade of Pennsylvania avenue at Echan-
dia street be changed and established, it
is recommended the petition be referred
to the City Engineer to report if it repre-
sents majority of the frontage affected
by the proposed change and make such
the case.
The petition from Mrs. C. M. Gordon
and Others asking that a cement sidewalk
six feet in width be laid on each side of
Temple street between Beaudry avenue
and Custer street, it is recommended
that the City Engineer be instructed to
present an ordinance of intention for such
work, and that the ordinance be held for
two weeks in order to give property own
ers an opportunity to do the work by
private contract.
In the matter of the petition from T. F.
Joyce and others, asking that Yale street,
between College and Bernard streets, be
=
der specifications No. 5, it is recommended
the same be granted and the City Engi-
neer instructed to present the necessary
ordinance of intention.
1t is recommended that the bid of Rob-
ert Sherer to grade Carondelet street. be-
tween the south curb line of Seventh street
and the north curb line of Eighth street,
complete for $2l07. 30, be accepted, and
the accompanying resolution of award
adopted.
1t is recommended that the bid of Mor
& Smith to grade Echo Park road, be-
tween the south line of Bellevue avenue
and the north line of Temple street, COM
plete for 1925, be accepted, and the ac-
companying resolution of award adopted.
1t is recommended that the bid of
George Rheinchild to grade Tehama
street between the north line OF Bridge
street and the west curb line of State
street for $3S55.11, complete, be accepted,
adopted.
In the matter of the contract with Con-
rad Scheerer to deliver to the city flag
stones for street crossings it is recon-
mended that the contract be approved for
term of one year.
1t is recommended that the Street
superintendent be instructed to fill all
chuck holes ON Also street below Ala
media, and put the street in proper con-
dition.
1t is recommended that the Street
superintendent be instructed to repair
West Seventh street by filling chuck holes.
1t is recommended that the City Engin-
eer be directed to present an ordinance
fixing the price at cents per lineal foot
for setting stakes, and requiring deposit
to be made before a permit is issued Tor
doing work by private contract.
1t is recommended that specifications
No. be amended so as to read the same
as specifications G., in regard to laying
cutters on graded Streets
1t is recommended that the City Engineer
be instructed to prepare entirely new speci
fications, including all the amendments,
to take the place of specifications No. 5,
and that such new specifications be
printed.
We have examined into the matter of
complaints in reference to street sweep
ing and find that the work is not well
done. We might specify some of the
streets that are in worse condition than
others, but we deem it unnecessary for
the pur poses of this report. We there
fore recommend that the Street Superin-
tendent be directed to employ men to
properly clean the streets where the con-
tractor has failed to do so and that the
expense of the same be deducted from
the contract price.
In the matter of proposals for the paw
ing of Clay street between the south curb
line of Third street and the north curb
line of Fourth street, we recommend the
acceptance of the bid of A. M. Austin at
$3lS2. 80 for the work complete, and that
the accompanying resolution of award be
adopted.
