SECTION l. All streets, lanes. alleys, | places or courts in the City and Coun- ty now open or dedicated or which
 may hereafter be opened or dedicated 1 to public use, shall be deemed and held | to be open pubic streets, lanes, alleys, | places or courts, for the purposes of l this Chapter; and the Supervisors are | hereby empowered to fix the width
 and grade thereof, and to order to be done therein and thereon any and all l street work and street improvement
 under the proceedings hereinafter de-
 scribed.
 Sec. g. Application for the doing of | any such work or improvement must | in the first instance, except where
 otherwise provided in this Article, be
 made in writing to the Board of Pub 1 lie Works; and if the expense thereof 1 is to be assessed upon private property, | the Board shall investigate the same; | and if it determine that such improve
 ment is expedient, it shall so report to | the Supervisors; and the Supervisors 1 shall not order any such improvement
 until the same has been recommended
 by said Board. When the construction | of any sewer or drain shall involve a
 cost of more than five dollars per lineal l foot for any block, it shall not be au-
 thoriZed except by an or nance passed | by the affirmative vote of not less than 1 fourteen members of the Board of Su- | pervisors. If an application is made | | the expense is to be paid by the City and County, and the Board of Public l Works shall not approve of such appli-
 cation, it shall report to the Supervis- ors it's reasons for such disapproval, 1 and the Supervisors may then, after having obtained from the Board of | Public Works ali estimate of the ex- 1 pense of said work or improvement. | by ordinance passed by the affirmative | vote of not less than fourteen members of the Board of Supervisors, order the doing of said work, or the making of | said improvement.
 The Board of Public Works may also, except as herein prohibited recommend any improvement, the expense of which is to be paid by the City and County,
 though no application may have been l made therefor, and must make, with said recommendation to the Supervis- ors, an estimate of the expense, and In such case the Supervisors may order the same done.
 No street work or street improve | ments of any kind shall be ordered to be done by the Supervisors unless a written recommendation to do the | same has been made to them by the Board of Public Works, and all suc6 recommendations shall be made mat | ters of record in the office of said | Board.
 When the Board shall recommend any
 
 tion or crossing, where the streets do not 1ntersect each other at right angles, | It shall in each such case determine | what lots in the blocks adjacent to such | intersection or crossing will le benefit | ed by said work, and shall cause a | map to be made on which shall be | delineated the lots so to be benefited. Such map shall be transmitted to the Supervisors with said recommenda- | tion.
 Sec. 3. Before recommending to the 1 Supervisors the ordering of any work | or improvement, the expense of which. | or any part thereof. is to be assessed
 upon private property. the Board of Public Works shall pass resolution of 1 its intention to recommend the same. | specifying the work to be recommend ed. and shall fix day when 1t shall | take final action upon said resolution. l Upon the passage thereof the Secre- tary of the Board shall forthwith, with
