e. |. PHILLEO,
liitv Engineer.

City Engineer.
In addition to the above report, l
would make the following recon-
mendatiOnS.
FIRST: That the standard sidewalk
be changed in such manner as to
prohibit the use Of plank For sidewalk
purposes
SECOND: For the want of proper
| foundations both under the walks and
buildings a majority of the walks
on Front street from the bridge to
the library building have become
uneven, defective and insufficient: !
would recommend that these walks
be condemned, and the owner ordered
to build a standard walk.
| THIRD: Except in few cases the
walks at present are built on one side
OF a street only. In such cases when
a walk is condemned the owner objects
to building walks for the use Of his
neighbor across the street.
would Recommend that in such
cases when walk is condemned the
property owners on the opposite side
of the street be ordered to build walks
FOURTH: / would recommend the
placing Of a~furnace in the library
building, and also connecting the
building with the city water main.
At present there are seven stoves in
the building. I believe that with q
furnace the saving in both labor and
fuel would in a short time pay for the
| plant.
The building is already pIumbed
and severed, if it were connected
with the main it would have the
benefit of both sewerage and city
water. All of which is respectfully
submitted, =. |. PHILLEO,
Moved and carried that the above
report be received and placed on file.
The resignation of Thee. w. Bra
zeau as supervisor from the second
ward was presented and accepted.
| Moved and carried that the matter
of appointing supervisors in the
second and eighth wards be deferred
for one month.
On motion the petition Of J. A.
Cohen praying your honorable body
to grant him permission to remove
from lot number four, block number
thirty-two, two buildings located
thereon, to lot number IA of block
number 30 was granted.
