To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen-Your Committee on
Streets to whom was referred petit
tons Of w. W. Cartwright for the can
collation. OF paving assessment and
Of G.. r. q. Mason ct al. for refund OF
moneys spent for construction of GER
tain sidewalks on Boulevard. respect
fully report that we have had both OF
said matters under consideration and
beg leave to submit the following re-
port. towit
Repetition OF w w Cartwright for
cancellation of paving assessment,
we leg to state that the assessment
in question IS levied against the rear
ten feet OF lot situated on the s.. s. of
Frederick sreet east of Russell street;
that petitioner claims that said ten
feet is used for alley purposes, and
should therefore not be assessed Your
Committee find that said ten foot strip
is private alley aud that same has
never been decided to the City, and the
title thereof remaining in the abutting
owners there was nothing else to be
done except to assess the abutting
owner therefor.
Repetition Of c. +. O. Mason ct al.
we find that petitioners are the own
ers of certain property situated on
West Grand boulevard. and they are
now asking for the refundng OF the
assessment paid by them Upon SUBJ
mitting t~e mater to the Corporation
Counsel we a~e by him informed that
the Sidewalks Were built under mis-
take in the law, which mistake was
indulged in by the Commissioners of
Parks and Boulevards as well as by
cd said walks under the impression
that " was their duty to build them
ana the Commissioner was also under
the same impression: that under such
conditions. in his opinion. petitioners
are not legally entitled 10 have their
claim paid out Of the public treasury.
simply because IT has recently been
determined ny the supreme court that
1t IL the duty of the CITY to construct
sidewalks In front Of private property
IN this section of the Boulevard. In
Wow OF this opinion, which also calls
attention to the denial Of the petition
OF Geo. ". Hutton. who 6led q similar
claim, we recommend that the prayers
of each OF aforesaid petitioners he
denied

that We have had the matter under con
sideratton aud beg leave TO state that
after consultation with the Fire Com
missioncrS. who appeared before Your
committee. IL was considered advisable
To limit the size of marquis hereafter %

commission that no marquis should he

reasonable length from the building and
that in no instpnce should they De allow
td To extend in front OF their entire
buildine hut rather only IN front of the
entrances thereto, az IL is difficult
mattcr in case of fire to swing ladders
against the building II the fire Is on the
second or third floor. and the matter was
so forcibly presented by the Commis-
sionS and tho Chicf OF the Department
that your committee fully concur I'm the
position taken by them. and recommend
that permission be granted only on con-
dition that said marquis does not extend
NOR. than 20 feet iu width along the
front OF building which is sufficient to
protect the entrances thereto and that
Same shall not have ~ greater depth than
feet from the building To- outside meas
