City Treasurer Itolund .Makes Ills Fiiinnciiil Iteport For Dccrmber. Ordinance Introduced For 11 No' Approach to South Sido liridgc. Both branches of councils worts to have met last evening, tho select In Epeciul and the common in regular ses sion, but a quorum of the former failed to appear. The commoners were in session about an hour and disponed of much business of considerable import. Hlds for constructing the Seventeenth dlstrlot main sewer on the South Side wete received and referred to commit tee as follows: 13, S. Williams, $18,000, extra basins $100, manholes $t0; Flana gan O'Hora, 12.83 per lineal foot, basins $85, nmnholes$40; V. II. O'Haia, IM.000, basins $125, manholes $10; Dunn Bros., $2.03 per lineal foot, manholes; $.'0, basins $5,"i. From tho city engineer was received the following communication Mn refer ence to tho paving of Carbon street: In answer to the resolution of councils requesting plans, speclllcatlons nnd es timate of cost for repavlng Carbon street from Penn avenue to the Lackawanna river with asphalt und brick; also to mako suggestions as to changing tho present grade, I will mako tho follow ing statements: The question of proper grade for this street was before councils several times In tho years of 1SSS nnd 18S9. On the ac companying tracing, shown by a green line, is tho grade recommended by this department in l&SS (Mr. E. F. Illewltt being the city engineer) but for somo reason haul to understand from an en gineering or nny other standpoint, tho councils insisted nml did adopt by- ordi nance In 1S89 the grade shown by the red line. The street was graded and paved to this line In 1S91 and ISM and since then tho cross streets have been graded, curbs set and sidewalks laid, sowers construct ed and valuable buildings erected to cor respond with the established grade; hence I do not consider it wise to recom mend any change in tho grade lines. IS FORTY FEET WIDE. As the built-up portion of this street Is 10 feet wide between fences, divided ns follows: Two ti-foot walks and one 20 foot roadway, I would suggest that steps bo taken to make this street of n uniform width of 4tf feet out to Penn avenue, and remove those unsightly piers that are built at light angles nnd standing in about the middle of tho street. This would Improve tho nppcaranco of tills entrance to tho central city very much. Tho estimates for paving aro ns fol lows, Including curb, incidentals, etc. Asphalt, full widtli of roadway, 7.59S.70; asphalt, with street car 'tracks deduct ed, $0,403.50; brick, full width of roadway, $j,9Gl.90; brick, with street car tracks deducted, $5,113.50. If the street should be made a uni form width, the cost of the asphalt will bo $I9G.5G additional, and for brick $372.42 additional. The communication was ordered re ceived and filed. The city treasurer's report for De comlier.whlch was referred to the com mittee on trc-asurer's accounts, con tained the following: Balance cash on hand Dec. 1, 1S7 $139,274 70 RECK1PTS.
