Hon Mayor & City Council
Gentlemen.
We your St and Alley Committee to whom was referred the matter of opening up Burford Street and conferring with the Frisco R Road in reprence thereto would respectfully report that we have conferred with the RR Co. and could not make any satisfactory arrangement with said road, and on account of the dangerous crossing it would make we believe it practically impossible to open the street at this time, and recommend that all matters in reference to this street be received and filed.
