School children in this district attend

with the exception of that in front Of

To Petitioners: AS regards opening |
of Foster street, Stoner avenue to HUI
see street, l have made estimate of cost
of opening Foster street, also estimate
on Hulsee street. find on Foster street |
400 cubic yards of cutting, goo cubic
yards of filling and forty feet of 24-inch |
tile. On Hulsee street | have 1870 cubic |
yards of cutting and $3.50 cubic yards
filling with III feet feet 36-inch drain |
pipe. At "a glance you can see by above
hgureSffIat the opening of Foster street |
is much cheaper to the city, also the
of getting dirt to fill |
Hulsee street. The grades used on Hull
see street make quite decline over the
branch and would hardly be adopted by
The city.
Nevertheless the above estimate
wagon road from Foster street to Don
ovan street The estimate on Foster
street | think is quite conservative and
he grades will conform to grades to
be established by the city. The cost of
grading Foster street from Hulsee to
otoner avenue $3.50. The cuts only on
Foster street are estimated in the cost,
Is the dirt can be wasted on the fill.
estimate the cost on cut at 15c per cubic
Yards. Yours very respectfully,
