To the Common Council Of the city of Wau-

Board of Public Works, City.
Gentlemen: Referring to our conference
Saturday regarding ordinance passed by the
city council relating to paving with brick be-
tween the rails on Clark st.
This ordinance is obscure as to what is to
be done on Clark Island, and does not definite
" state whether the entire track area should
be paved with brick, which some of the men,
bers construed the ordinance to read
The general opinion of the Board of Public
Works as near as We can determine was that
two brick be placed lengthwise inside the
rail and brick lengthwise outside the rail,
be replaced. 1t could be done without inter-
feripg with the rest OF the pavement.
This proposal looks reasonable to our com
pany, and as verbally agreed to at the board
meeting, our company will furnish the brick
and lay them in place but we cannot consider
bearing the burden of paving the entire track
area with brick. Laying couple bricks
along the rail as suggested by one of the men,
bsrs OF the board, is, we believe, the latest
practice in the paving along track
However, if the council does not see fit
to adopt the boards recommendation in this
matter, we would ask that brick be put in in
this fashion on curves as the rails in these
places will wear out before the rails on straight
track, and better job can be done in relay
ing them, u there is stretcher brick on each
side of the rails.
Yours very truly,
WISCONSIN VALLEY ELEC. co.
