To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen-Your Committee on Street
Openings to whom was referred the petit
ton OF Frederick Dittmer and Clara ].
Dittmer asking for the acceptance OF a
deed for public street. or a strip OF land
twenty-five feet wide of the east side of
Lot Of the Henry Conner subdivision OF
T. Cs. 3s6 and 3S6 running south from
Jefferson avenue to the northerly line OF
Lot OF Hendrie and Hillger's subdivi-
ston--satd line being also the southerly
line or Connor's Creek--beg leave TO re-
port, that having carefully investigated
the matter we find that there has been
constructed In the line OF the proposed
street a wooden bridge built upon piles
driven into the bed OF the said creek,
these piles cannot be other than a per-
manent obstruction in the creek, certain
TO dam the creek every time that Ice
floats down to them; The bridge Is 40
land over which the city has no control.
being owned by parties that refuse at the
present time TO dedicate the correspond
ing strip OF land necessary TO complete
the roadway TO the SO feet width OF the
remainder OF Clairpointe avenue as IL IL
proposed eventually to make Il; We fur
north and south OF the bridge. will require
raising four or Ave feet to bring IL TO the
grade OF the bridge as at present located.
The bridge Is but temporary structure
at the best and does not compare with
the bridges built by the city in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
Your committee are OF the opinion that.
until such time as the roadway Is filled
bridge, either iron or concrete Is erected
the deed should not be accepted and
therefore recommend that the prayer OF
the petitioner be denied.
