The work of setting the curbing, laying the sidewalk and sodding the border have all been done, but on several of these streets the adjoining premises are left below the grade of the sidewalk and these premises will have to be raised;

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
this can be done in the spring when the streets are cleaned at a very slight cost, and can probably be made satisfactory to the owners. This work was not completed last fall as there was insufficient funds, and after the additional appropriation was passed by the Board of Aldermen the weather was un- suitable.
