Tho present work on South Temple street, according to a letter prepared by tho Board of Public Works for submission submis-sion to the City Council, will be completed com-pleted within thirty days. Attention is called to the fact that the Board of Public Works recently requested request-ed authority td advertise for bids on the further construction of tho street from Seventh East to Tenth East, and also urged the Council to consider the matter of having the street improved to Thirteenth Thir-teenth East. Estimates of the work to Tenth East were made, and these are still in the hands of the Committee on Streets. The board urges that early action be taken on these matters. In order that the work may go on continuously while tho wrather is suitable. The Board of Public Work3 has also prepared a communication to the Council Coun-cil asking authority to order the commencement com-mencement of work on sidewalk extensions exten-sions S5, SC and 87, covering a large part of the southeastern portion of the city. This is the first contract under the new scrip law. The board points out that the sidewalk contractors arc now without work and losing valuable time while tho weather Is propitious. The position Is taken that by the time the scrip can be Issued the contractors, who are willing and anxious to go ahead with the work, the work can be far advanced. Tho scrip can he issued as soon as the estimates on the completed portions of tho work are Med. and this will bo satisfactory to tho contractors. Both matters will be brought to the attention at-tention of the City Council Monday night. |
