The journal of the last session was approved. PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS. To the Common Cmincil: The Board of Public Works woulc recommend a change in the route or the proposed main sewer, since the flrst route was determined. The Board engaged Alderman Manjy to procure a necessary right of way over private property. He reported that this righi of way could not be obtained without condemnation proceedings. The City Engineer acting under the instruction of the Board, has drafted a plan of a shorter route for the main sewer, which is more ieasible for making connections without crossing the railroads, and lies entirely along the streets, excepting that along the Michigan Central grounds, and the road very generously offers to permit the city to use their ground for this purpose. The Board would therefore recommend that the route of the main sewer east -of Main street, be changed to the following route: From Main street east along Summit street to Fifth avenue; thence north along Fifth avenue to Depot street; thence east along Depot and Cary streets to the east line of State street; thence north, crossing railway; thence easterly along Michigan Central company's land to Fuller street; thence easterly along Fuller street to the river and to the outlet thereof , south of Bridge Ko. 3. All of which is respectfully submitted. By order of the Board of Public Works. W. J. Millek, Clerk. Aid. Manly moved that the report be accepted, adopted and placed on file. Adopted. To the Common Council: The Board of Public Works beg leave to submit the following report of its doings in the matter of bids for hard burnt brick, and for two cars of Portland cement, for the main sewer. The Board caused notice of the City's wants to be published in local newspapers and also distributed among well-known producers and dealers in brick and cements; and as a result, on the day set for closing such offers, had four bids for the brick and nine bids for the cement, of responsible paities, and of which bids are submitted herewith. All of the bids were for brick and cement f. o. b. cara at Ann Arbor, subject to inspection. Eacli bid was accompanied by sample of brick proposed to be delivered. Allthingsconsidered, we recommend that the bid of the Ann Arbor Brick Jompany be accepted and that a contract be made with such company for 30,000 or more hard-burnt brick for the main sewer, at their bid, being $6.25 per thousand, f. Q. b. cars at Ann Arbor. We recommend that the bid of Louis Kohde for two cars of Buckeye American Portland Cement in burlap sacks, $2.23 per bbl., 380 lbs. net; (4 baga to bbl.), f. o. b. cars Ann Arbor. At a meeting of this Board and Aid. Martin, Aid. Ferguson, and Aid. Snow, members oi' the Sewer Committee of the Council, the matter of purchasing 000 feet of 24-in. cast iron pipe was discussed at length, and it was the sense of the meeting that iron pipe should be used where the sewer runs along the river, and where it is liable to be exposed to the frost. The iron pipe were then and there ordered. Respectf ully submitted by order of the Board of Public Works. W. J. Millek, Clerk. Aid.

REPOKT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE. To the Common Cmmcil: Your Committee on Finance, to whom was retened the report of the Board of Public Works relative to salary of City Engineer vvould respectfully report as follows: ïbe matter in question is highly important, affecting'as it does, every tax payer in the city, directly as regards salaries paid, and by a far greater extent indirectly to the success oi' failure of the work. Consequently it deserves careful consideration trom both committee and Council. While your Committee is of the opinión that $150 per month is not too much to pay to an engineer capable of ;arrying out the proposed sewer sysem to a successful termination, never;heless there are various points to be considered in connection with the subect. It is proposed and expected by the Board of Public Works that the maiu sewer shall be completed in from three ;o f our months. During this time they iropose to hire an assistant to the City Engineer at a salary of $2.75 per day, or a little more than seventy dollars per month. This will probably be money well spent. At the request of the Board, the iommoii Council has also appointed r'rof. Chas. E. Greene Consulting engiïeer, to act with the City Engineer during the building of the main sewer. ?or his services d uring the proposed hree to l'our months. the surn ot $500 vill be required, being at a rate of rom $125 to $166 per month, according o the Urne. It will be seen that the salaries of ,he three engineers foot up to about 1370 per month, exclusive of minor ïelp. Adding tb e salary of the Street üommissioner, $6ö.66, who is expected ;o devote his entire time to sewer contruction, we have a total of about ;435 per month to be paid out for sim)ly directing the work. We believe this borders on extrava;ance. So far as your Committee has een able to ascertain, Mr. Geo. Key s able and competent to direct the layng of the main sewer without the aid f a consultiug engineer, and we do ïot consider it wise or economieal to tnploy two high priced men to attend o the same work. We therefore recommend that Mr. Geo. F. Key be eniployed at a salary of $150 per month, eommenciug Sept, 1, 1893, until further notice fróm this Council, to take f uil charge of the laying and construction of the main sewer, under the supervisión of the Board of Public Works, thereby making Mr. Key responsible for the success or failure of bis work. We recommend that Mr. Rosencrans be emDloyed at L2.75 per day, if bis services shall be considered positively needed by the Board of Public Works, to assist Mr. Key with his work, until further notice from the Common Council. We further recommend that the Council reconsider its action of May 15, 1893, whereby Prof. Chas. Greene was appointed consulting engineer in the coiistruction of sewers. We believe that one responsible head to the work is better than two, neither of whom is quite sure who is in charge of the work. All of which is respectf ully submitted. W ALTER L.

To tlie Common Council: Your Committee on Streets would report as follows concerning the various requests for appropriations referred to your Committee: The atreet fund now has only about $2,000 in it, to run the street fund for some months. For this reason and for the further reason that the whole time of the City Engineer and Street Commissioner is now taken up with construction of the sewers, we would recommeud that the consideración of the appropriations be deferred until a more opportune time, excepting that we recommend the appropriations of $100 to flll in and to do the necessary grading on Mary street, from Packard to Edwin streets; also $90 to do the necessary grading on Prospect street, from East University avenue to Wells street. The petition referred to your committee at the last meeting of Council, asking for crosawalks at the intersections of Williatn St. and Fifth avenue and William street and División street, we would recommend said petition be referred to the Sidewalk Committee.
