FROM THE SAME.
To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen - Your Committee on
Streets. to whom was referred the
communication from his Honor the
ceived by the Mayor from the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor asking
authority to erect a building at the
foot Of Woodward avenue for use by
the immigration Service, respectfully
report that we have given the matter
serious consideration. and beg leave to
state that We are opposed to granting
the government permission to erect a
building on the dock at the foot of
w oodward avenue for the accommo-
dalton OF said department At present
there IL an unobstructed view OF the
river the full width of the avenue and
any building, regardless of how orna
mental IL may be I'm construction. will
destroy this view, which is enjoyed by
thousands during the summer months
We have no doubt that the ferry COM
pany, which IL deeply interested. can
without much effort so remodel their
premises as to provide adequate ac-
commoda tons for the government The
immigration inspectors stationed al
said point do not stand on the dock Ali
day, but only appear upon arrival OF
each ferry every ten minutes and IL
IL IL too much trouble TO walk across
the gangway distance of ten feet
ch time "a boat arrives and direct
such OF said passengers as they de-
sire to inspect. TO their office then
some other provision must be made
but so far as the City giving up any
portion OF Woodward avenue for the
erection OF a building, whether per-
manent or only temporary. We are en-
tirely opposed, and therefore recon-
mend that the request be denied
Respectfully submitted,
OTTO c. GoESCHEL,
