Hon. TIIo ,IAs R. FARRE[.L, Dejuty Commissioner of FTbirca .r DEAR SIR—As to the grading and paving of Meeker avenue, from Kingsland avenue to

Newtown creek, a report on which was asked by President Grout, I would submit the following estimate :

This improvement will require about 26,000 cubic yards of grading, 12,370 square yards of granite pavement, besides curb and crosswalks. The estimated cost is $40,000.

The district of assessment proposed is 200 feet on each side of the street, which will include an area of 1,010,000 .square feet, and the assessed value of this property within the district (1897) is $174,x•

A district of one-half the block on each side proved to be so irregular that it was thought better to fix it at 200 feet on each side, as this will probably be the first substantial improvement in this district for some time to come.

The fact that there is so much grading required, although there are now railroad tracks on the street, is because the embankment is barely wide enough to accommodate these tracks, and to put the entire street to grade will require much more work.

This improvement includes the grading, curbing and paving with granite-blocks on a sand foundation, and the laying of crosswalks.

Respectfully, (Signed) N. P. LEWIS,

Engineer of Highways, Borough of Brooklyn.

Also petition from henry Bindrim, corner of Meeker avenue and North Henry street, and others, for the repaving of ?Meeker avenue, between Kingsland avenue and Manhattan avenue, with granite-blocks.

lion. Trios. R. FARRELL, Deputy Commissioner of Ili,;hways : DEAR Slit—As to the repaving of Meeker avenue, from Manhattan avenue to Kingsland ave-

nue, with granite block pavement, a report on which was asked by President Grout, I will say that this work will require the laying of 8, i to square yards of granite pavement ; the setting and resetting of 4,580 linear feet of curl) ; and the laying of 1,830 square feet of granite crosswalk. The estimated cost is $Ig,000 ; and, inasmuch as this is repaving, no area of assessment or value of the property within such district is given. The improvement proposed covers regrading, recurhing and repaving with granite block pavement on sand foundation, and the laying and relaying of crosswalks.

Respectfully, (Signed) N. P. LEWIS, Engineer of Highways, Borough of Brooklyn.

After hearing the petitioners, Alderman Helgaus offered the following : Resolved, That the petitions for grading and paving Meeker avenue, between Kingsland

avenue and the Meeker Avenue Bridge, and repaving Meeker avenue, between Kingsland avenue and Manhattan avenue, be laid over, and that it be suggested to the petitioners that they submit a petition for the improvement of Meeker avenue, between Kingsland avenue and the Meeker Avenue Bridge, showing what of the property is owned by the petitioners, and whether said petitioners own a majority of the property.

lion. EDWARD Nf. GROUT, President of the BoroigIz of Iiroo/./y,, DEAR SIR—In accordance with your request of the 2d instant for a report on the proposed

grading and paving of Watkins street, from East New York avenue to New lots road, I beg to submit the following report thereon from Engineer Lewisof this Department :

I would report that a careful estimate shows that the following amount of work will be necessary : 20,827 square yards of asphalt on a concrete foundation 6 inches thick ; 13,156 lineal feet of curb ; 17,000 cubic yards of embankment. The total estimated cost, including inspection and engineering, will probably be $75,600. A proper district of assessment would be one-half a block on each side of the street, giving an area within district of I,o55,60o square feet, while the assessed valuation of the property, according to the tax rolls of 1897, is $335,820.

This estimate covers grading, curbing and paving of the street with asphalt pavement on a concrete foundation, with fifteen years' guarantee.

Respectfully, (Signed) TI-IOS. R. FARRELL, Deputy Commissioner of Highways.

Hon. EDWARD M. GRou'r, President of the Borozq,/i of Brooklr,a: DEAR SIR—In accordance with your request of the 2d instant for a report of proposed

grading and paving of Essex street, from Arlington avenue to Atlantic avenue, I would submit the following report thereon of the engineer of this department :

The following amount of work will be necessary : 2,833 square yards of asphalt pavement on concrete ; 1,850 feet of curb ; 2,067 cubic yards of excavation. Total cost, including inspection, etc., will be about $10,000. Proper district of assessment would be one-half block on each side, which would include an area of 153,900 square feet, which in 1897 was assessed at $81,128.

This estimate is for grading, curbing and paving with asphalt pavement on a 6-inch concrete foundation, with fifteen years' guarantee.

Respectfully, (Signed) THOMAS R. FARRELL, Deputy Commissioner of highways.

(No. 22.) Petition of Theo. F. Jackson and others for the regrading and repaving with granite blocks of

Varick avenue, between Metropolitan avenue and Johnson avenue, half the expense to be assessed on the property improved, and the other half to be borne by The City of New York.

Report from the Department of Highways, as follows : CITY OF NEW YORK—BOROUGti 'II" BROOKLYN,

DEI'ARr~IENT OF Hlt;li\\AYS, MuNIC•iP,v. Bt 1t.DING, May 13, 1898.

lion. Enw.teD M. GRoc'1', President of the Boroi&;/i of Brooklyn DEAR SIR—In accordance with your request of the 2c1 instant, for a report and estimate of the

cost of repaving Varick avenue, from Metropolitan avenue to Johnson avenue, I beg to submit the following report thereon from Engineer Lewis of this Department :

This street was graded and paved with cobblestone pavement some years ago, and, as stated in the petition (herewith returned), there has undoubtedly been a considerable settlement of the pavement.

The estimate is based on an assumed filling of IS inches, and would require the following amount of work : 7,617 square yards of granite pavement ; 5,000 lineal feet of old and new curb ; 7,500 cubic yards of embankment. Total cost, including inspection and engineering, would probably be $19,500.

This estimate is for regrading, recurbing and repaving with granite block pavement laid on sand foundation.

The practice in the past in Brooklyn has been to lay the assessment for repaving according to the frontage only. On this street this policy would result in laying an assessment on some very small parcels on one side of the street, and large undivided plots on the opposite side, and it is difficult, therefore, to fix a proper value for the assessed valuations. 'The frontage available for assessment is 3,430 lineal feet, counting both sides of the street, and the value of this property, according to the tax rolls of 1897, is $271,850.

Respectfully, (Signed) THOMAS R. FARRELL, Deputy Commissioner of Highways.

ELECTIONS. Resolved, That the opinion of the Corporation Counsel be asked upon the following : The

Chairman of the Republican County Committee of the County of Richmond, pursuant to the requirements of the Primary Election Law, certified to the Board of Police, as custodian of Pri-mary Records, among other things, first, that the unit of representation for the election of dele-gates to the Republican County General Committee for the County of Richmond shall be the Assembly District, and that the delegates to be so elected shall be elected upon a general ballot to be voted for in each respective election district within the Assembly District, such Assembly Dis-tric comprising the entire County of Richmond.

The Police Board desire to be advised whether the Republican Committee can within the Primary Law make a unit of representation providing for the election on a single ballot of all the delegates of a County General Committee within the County of Richmond, or whether they are not required to adopt a unit of representation, and then that the custodian of Primary Records shall apportion to each unit within the county the proportion of delegates which such unit is entitled to under the law.

Resolved, That the President be authorized to request the opinion of the Corporation Counsel as to the right of the Board to contract for the printing of the Primary Enrollment without adver-tisement, the expense of such printing exceeding the sum of one thousand dollars.
