Show PERMANENT UK AUKS. The city council in insisting upon the establishment of permanent grades is taking the correct course. This does not mean, however, that the whole city shall bo graded at once, but that auy street shall be made to conform to the established grade whenever demanded for the public good. The committee's report, which was adopted, explains this matter fully, as follows: "The grade ouco permanently laid, however, remains a perpetual uotice to property ovvuors that their improvements must be inado to conform or admit of adjustment adjust-ment to the street when it shall have been properly graded. Partial grading of a street can be made front time to time, as the public needs demand, and will each time reduce by so much, the aggregate of the work to be done. All public improvements boing in tho meantime made with reference to the final plan,, not only to remain undisturbed, undis-turbed, but arc augmented in value by each public expenditure for street improvements." |
