To the Honorable City Council,
Willmar, MINI.
Gentlemen:
Your Street Committee, to whom
was referred the matter of opening
street from Seventh street around
the south arm Of Foot Lake and East
to Hawaii avenue, beg to report as
follows:
We find that said street is badly
needed and will be of great public
utility. 1t will afford an outlet for
the. residents of Sperry's Addition
both to the East and to the West,
obviate the necessity of their always
using the railroad bridge as an outlet,
and when opened from Bertha street
to the road to the East will relieve
the railroad crossing Of much of the
traffic which it now bears.
We understand that j. S. Robbins
Will donate the necessary land to be
used for the street across his prop
erty.
We believe the Great Northern can
be induced to donate the necessary
land to be used for the street across
their property.
We are Informed by the City En-
glneer that the proposed Street can
be placed in passable condition, at
cost of not to exceed $4,000.
We would recommend that the me-
cessary property be acquired and the
street opened as soon as possible.
