The mayor addressed the council as
follows:
To the Honorable Council:
The chair desires to address the
council in relation to the paving OF
Market street, Park avenue and Prai-
RE avenue. 1t is the opinion of the
chair that we will not be able to pave
this fall. It will take three weeks to
pass the ordinance that makes these
improvements possible. and even if we
were able to commence at once bad
weather Or an early winter would pre-
went The work being completed this
year The council can advertise for
bids &c be in by the last meeting in
January, 1896. At that time the con
tractors will be anxious to bid and
many will compete for the work The
contracts can be let to commence work
as soon as the frost is out Of the ground
and all danger Of freezing has passed.
In the meantime all sewer and water
connections can be made, and the ma
terial to be used in paving decided up
on. The chair trusts that the council
will not lessen the width Of the streets,
but leave them as they are, good and
wide. Broad streets since the use of
the bicycle, are needed more now than
ever before.
The sewer on Market street, from
Ashland avenue to Chicago street,
from Main street to Maiden Lane, and
8uG the foot Of Park avenue, should be
put IN this fall.
The chair has been given to under
stand that the residents on Milwaukee
avenue are anxious to macadamize that
thoroughfare. If that is the case steps
should be taken to complete the sewer
on that street.
Respectfully submitted.
