<br /> ?th. "In accordance withinstructions of the Council, given me at its regular meeting
<br />on May 9th, I beg to rg~rt on the improvement of the following streets:
<br /> "A.- Third St,, be$ween~Henry__._s~n_~ W~the Sts. Third St. is a shor~ street extending from
<br />N~val Place to Wythe St. It is bounded on the east'side by the Nav~ Yard wall between-Naval
<br />Place and Linco~u St. It is.already paved between Fayette and Henry S~s. The~e~ls a Navy
<br />Yard gmte on Fayette St.~ which is not much~AS~do First St. to the east of it and Foumth St.
<br />to the west of it ams paved. The cost of the paving would be $9,180.00.
<br /> "B.- ~A" St., between Cooke and Butler ~ts. Within th~s~ limits, there are only a few
<br />houses fronting on "A" St. The p~rtion of "A" street placed on t~e 9rigi_ns.l list term~naSed .
<br />at two paved ~treets. The proposed extension would terminate on Butler St., aa unpaved s~ree~.
<br />The cost would be about $1,000.00.
<br />
<br /> "C., Esphmltic wearin~ surface on Queen St.. between Crawford and Effiuh~ Sts.. This
<br />a worthy p~ojeot and the cost ~ould be $6~)0.00.
<br />
<br /> "D~- Linden Ave.. from Nav~l Ave. to Bay S~. Linden Ave. is a highly improved street amd
<br />has many well~b~ilt and expensive dwellings. The cosm of paving it would be about $10,0OO.
<br />The project seems to be as meritorious as many others in Park View.
<br />
<br /> "I see no objection to adding these several projects to the general list approved by the
<br />Council; the improvements to ~e made when funds are available. For reasons already stated,
<br />however, I.am of the opinion "that additional paving, except for main arteries of traffic,
<br />should be deferred until the sewerage systems in the Sixth and Seventh Wa~ds are completed."
<br />
<br /> Then ~he Manager made a verba~t recommendation thmt these streets' be added to ihs Ps,zing
