To the Select and Common Councaa GENTLEMEN : At the lest - meeting of these Council's, It becomes the duty of your Survey Committee to make report of their proceedings and of, the. work done under their direction during the year now cloeing. The Importance of the work done demands a somewhat de• tailed statement, and wo regret that et this time a fuller cud more complete hie. Mry of It cannot be given for, permanent record. The Committee Immediately upon Its organization at the beginning of the year, Impreasen With the responsibility of their duties and the great value of the proper laying out of the streets in the new 'city . districts, proceeded to devise and perfect a gamma plan of operation. In this they were happily aided by 'Mr. W. H. Ken nedy, theable andexperienced engineer, who was chneen to direct and superin tend the work, and the occasional awn , eel and advice of Henry Moore, Esq., City Engineer. One of the most import. ant decisions arrived. at, and which has been carried out by your Committee In every instance where possible, was that the future of our city required that all public thorbughfams should be wide and !straight. In carrying out this rule, If continued by our successes, the many difficulties, coats and Inconveniencea now and -heretofore experienced within the old city limits, will be avoided. - Your committee' also decided -that the work of laying oat the streets of the new city should be done as speedily as posed. Me, eonsistent wish a due regard for 1 the perfection of the work, sojhat the growth• of the municipality plight be aided' and building improvements en. oonra dug:under thee cipinletui, early in the year suitable persons wore employed. at moderate salaries, and three distinct' corps were organized, with a competent head over each. Am soon as .the weather permitted these were put to work under the superintendence of Mr. Kennedy, and all were kept constantly employed until July let, when one corps was din. missed, it beteg , found that from that time only two (MOW bo worked satisfactorily. These two corps continued until the wlo. ter net in and prevented outside opera. tlone, and &Ince a force boa been employ, ed In the °Mao to make up the plans and'prodles of the work done dozing the summer. . . Your committee, appreciating the value of the work devolving on them, frequently as a whole, or by subcom mittees, visited different portions of the new city territory, to examine and de cide as to matters of Importance: and to reconcile amicably so far as possible dlr. ferences'in the views - of citizens intereet ed. While anxioni at &Utterer to satisfy and accommodate land owners. your committee have kept steadily in view the Interests and :wants of a great and growing city. . In hieing wallow sheets, in districts whore, as has been frequently found along main avenues, tht property is di vided Into small parcel ler course di to be - expected that In ssome' I.COO CO Moo M 00 "75 00 PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE: TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1869 serious injury would be done to indi viduals. We are happy to state, how everethat such instances are rare, and' wehavothe stalisfatlon of believing. that the vast work of the year is very gener. ally approved by those immediately Interested. Where serious injury does occur, the viewers to bo appointed to as sess damages and Nltutits when the streets are opened, will have it in their -power to afford relief by Kay equitable alum:went. 0 clog to the fact that a large majority of the streets laid out are as yet without names, it is impossible to tarnish a com plete statement concerning them; we, however, append names and facts in reference to some of the more important thoroughfares. All the streets that have been located, and approved by your hon orable bodies, and designated by perma nent stone landmarks, and accurate plans are now being made for record. We would respectfully suggest that a Committee be appointed to give names to each streets as have not been dodgem. ted, and that some of the prominent names recently discarded, each en St. Clair. Hancock, Wayne, Harrison etc., be adopted. The drat operation of the SurveyCerpe was-the location and designation of new eastern city line extending, from river to river as follows: The darting Point fe on the Monongahela river, about two hundred feet above the City Poor Farmstation, Ou the Pittebtrgh et Con nelleville Railroad. The line from this Point runs (North 10 deg. ntin. east,) north ten degrees twenty.nine minutes east, crossing in its course the following roads or streets: Ist, the Braddock'e Field road and the Pittsburgh et, Con e Railway track; 2d, Park avenue, formerly township road to'Swissvale; 3d, Peeblosatreet; 4th, Edgerton avemie; sth, Lyman street; 6th, Waverly sheet or lane: then through the east end of J.

"Then the line run-down Schadea' Run to the Allegheny river. Your Committee should state befoßt reporting the important thoroughfares already referred to, that according to their early decision, they have not re commended any street of a less width than fitly feet except in one instance, that being Baker street, formerisecalled the Morning Side read, and running from Butler street at McMahon's oil re. finery to the top of the hUI at Sawyers.
