AN EXPLANATION.

The Republican correspondent of the 18th instant. in commenting upon the work contemplated by the city council upon the alley in block 12, south of Main street is in error in stating that the work is being done under the direction of the street com mittee.
 I have no knowledge whatever, eX- cept hearsay. of what has been un- dertaken in connection with the pro- posed work. and as chairman of that committee should be in position to know of the contemplated improve ment
 There is no doubt in my mind of the necessity of improving conditions in that particular alley. but as the city. unfortunately has not acquired title to the grounds. I do not believe it wise or legal to expend the public funds upon the improvement of pri- Vate property.
 Any title to the alley which the city now claims exists only in the imagination of the fathers of the pro posed improvement. and until the proper proceedings have been taken,
