The iollowing report of the Committee on Public Property received
at last session Of council and referred to the Board was read as
follows, viz :
We, the undersigned, members of the committee on
Ouu,.ic property to whom .was referred the matter of a garage for
the Street Department, beg leave to report that we have spent con-
siderable time in investigating the cost and availability of sever-
al proposed_ sites for the garage. Several properties have been of-
fered to the City for this purpose, a part of which are not properly
located, and others are prohibitive in price. After giving consider-
ation to all of these proposed sites and after -giving the matter
-/
thorough consideration, we recommend that the City build a building
at the west end of the present warehouse building on the ground of
• the municipal Electric Light & Power Plant. We believe there is suf-
ficient ground for that wrupose, and is __centrally located and a Guild
ing could be erected and maintained at this location at 'less expense
that at any other location. We, therefore, recommend that proper
steps be taken for the construction of a
garage building for Street
Department on the ground of the City at west end of present warehouse
building near the Electric Light Plant .

of ground east of the river. I have had the City Engineer run a line
showing just where this ground lays and beg to submit the following
Ior your information. Measuring from the present west curb of road-
" way leading south on the west side Of present building, the Starr
property line is bl feet. From Starr property line to present river

other materials stored under archway Of ;Bridge is lye feet .
