<br /> The following communications were read from the City llanager:
<br /> 1st. aWith reference to
<br /> application of ~he l~oard of Trustees of the Firsz ~riends Ohuroh, dated M~y 25th, l~a6, ~ekihg
<br /> that the Oouncil provide better sidewalk facilities on the north side of Wythe St. and at the
<br /> ~rt~ ~d of Fo~arth St., I b$~g to state that a sidewalk 10 ftc wide can be pro~red by purghas-
<br /> ~ g re lit. ~o ~. Alexander apisee of property having a 30 ft. front and approximately ?~ ft.
<br /> seep. This little piece of lead zs ofno }amtiemia~ use to him as far as I e~.n see and it seems
<br /> to me that fifty !cents p~r square foot or $112.50~' should be a fair price, provided the Oity
<br />bore the expense of changimg the steps leading to hxs porch, which would not be ~sai.
<br /> it is therefore recommended that I be authorized to offer Mr. Alexander $ ll2. Sg)~ with the
<br />proviso that ~he City will change his steps for him and if this offer is not accepted~t the
<br />Oity Attorney be ~thorized to taXe the necessary steps to condemn it.~
<br />
<br /> On m~tiou, the recommendation was referred to the ~inance Oommittee.
<br />
<br /> End. "! .am ~raDsmitting herewith a sketch showing plan for extension of the public library
<br />by utilizing the northeast room of the A~mistead ~ilding. This'W ill'involve the construction
<br />of ~ small corridor between the Libramy B~ilding and the room 'in question. This arrangement
<br />will also provide for a toilet in the building. The esttm~ted cost, including Areola heating
<br />system for the entire building, is $1,O00.OO. The Library Association is satisfied thi
