Dear Sirs• - -At-the direction of your Board I have had prepared three resolutions for the paving of ' Eddy St. and Mishiawaka Ave. One resolution provides for the paving of Eddy St, from Jefferson Blvd. to the south line of Mishawaka Ave., another provides for the paving of Mishawaka Avenue from the east line of Eddy St. to the east line of Fifth Street and the third for the paving of Mishawaka Ave. from the east line of Fifth Street to the center of Nineteenth Street. These ° resolu.t ions have already been published. The property fronting on the east section of this work is appraised for taxation at $249260.00. The pavement on this section exclusive of the street and alley intersections and the street car track will cost the property owners approximately 036,000 .00 This will make it necessary to secure a petition from eighty per cent of the freeholders on this section of the street before the improvement man be made. I also wish to call your attention to the water connections on the Street I do not think that these have been taken care. of yet. Yours very truly. FREDERICK J. ANDERSON City Engineer.
