From the Rush street bridge to ‘Van Buren street the cast side of the river is almost-all taken up by wholesale buildings. ¥rom Kinzie street the west side of ‘the river, as far south as Twelfth street, has been monopo- lized by the railroads. From Twelfth street on the-cast side of the river south to Twenty-sec- ond street bas been taken up also ‘by ‘the rail- roads. Coal and Jumber ‘interests have only the littlé strip Jeft from Twelfth .street south to Fourteenth street on-the west side or south of Twenty-second street. A person who wanted dockage advertised for it between Sixteenth and Throop streets on the east side of the river, but did not receive a single response. ‘Dockage facilities must soon be sought eitherin the vicinity of Mud Lake or along the south arm of the South Branch, or at South Chicago. a ALL ‘THE SIPs that were dug in the Jumber region between the river, Twenty-second strect, Halsted street, and Western. avenue are occupicd. Tho North Branch would be used were ft not for the lack of railroad accommodations. A great deal of dock room could be had at Goose Istand, but .no efforts seem to have been made to provide it.

If.the road in- jured property, it was prepared to pay dam- ages. " THIRTY-FINST STREET PROPERTY ownersappeared before the South Park Com- ment forthe improvements of that street from ‘Michigan avenue to Grand boulevard. ‘Mr. B. Callahan, for the delegation, stated that the assessment was unequal for the two ‘sides of tho ‘street, the assessment .on the south side, between Michigan and, Indiana avonues, being $36,208.33, while on the north side tho assessment was $2,070.78. It was stated that the “infelicity” wasthe faultof the Jaw and the manner in which the street was-Iaid out, and not of the Board. The delegation, however, would uot re- monstrate so strenuously if they could be satis- fied that the strect improvement would be only moderately expensive. They submitted an esti- mate of an improvement which would reauce the expense about one-half. ‘The West Park Commissioners bave received the report of the. Improvement .Committce on the subject of the : IMPROVEMENT OF WASHINGTON STREET. 'The Committee recommended a new ordinance. Instead .of four Jnehes of granit macadam and two inches of gravel, they have substituted six inches of granit’macadam, because they are satisfied that the granit will bind itself, and tho use of gravel would tend to make the driveway dirty in dry weather and muddy in wet weather. ‘West of the east line of the railway right of way, instead of twelve inches of broken limestono they bave substituted six inches of the same material, for the reason that from that point to Central Park the driveway, forthe width of thirty-six fect, is already covered with ight inches, of gravel, which Will be eufiicient, with six inches of broken Hmestone, to form 2 solid foundanon for the granit macadam. The Committes further recommend that the Common Council be requested,’ as spocdily 23 consistent with the public good, to build a sewer in West Washington street from Fall street to Central Park. z ae: ‘The Committee on Streets and Alleys have de- cided to report favorably upon the paving of West Erle from Halsted street to tho viaduct; on the curbing and filling of North avenue from Milwaukee to'the North Branch; also, the fillingand curbing of West Eicbteenth street from Halsted to Blue Island avenue. 4 ‘The subject of TAXATION FOR STREET has been brought up by the tee of the Council in preparing a bill which the Legislature is to be-asked to enact, The pill seeking the purchase of houses and lots for | NORTH OF CL missioners to remonstrate against the assess- | -your old steamboat, .but I'll make’ ‘that fish as a ‘provides (1) that when the city shall provide for if filling, curbing, 4 ‘permanent poet utizuons ‘property, side that the eemo shall not thoreafter be im- proved by special city may by improvement mayent manner” 2! bf dhe abutting property, and provide that after such improvement it shall not proved by special. assessment; improvement shail bo oraered under nance unless character,” and thereafter shall not -be subject tospecinl assessment.
