MrPresident:- Your committee on Streets, to whom was referred the petition of'H W Gleason in reference to Washington Street, report that they have made a careful examination of said Street, and the conditions existing in front of the property of Mr. Gleason, and would recommend that that portion of the street on the North side thereof should be graded on an incline from the present level of the street at the lot line to the level of the street at the street railway tracks, and that the South side of said street should be graded on a level with the railway tracks, provided that release of damages is first obtained from all the abutting property owners. this report is made as above after consulting Mr. Alexander,the Superintendent of street, and Mr. Thompson, the City Engineer, and is deemed by those two and the Committee to be the best solution of the difficulty.
