Honorable Mayor; Am enclosing herewith a report on the proposed improvement to the Washington Street grade. 1 Very truly yours, fFi,y3ra{ W. A. BUGGE y+3 t County Road Engineer, WAB/la Jefferson County, Wash. ar A REPORT ,ram� n ON „xaR WASHINGTON STREET GRADE IMPROVEIaNT A study of the situation existing on Washington Street Grade between g„a Tyler Street and Harrison Street wherein the existing bulkheads now supporting y , g , the street, are in bad state of repair, brings about two possible solutions to the problem. Namely, the construction of a concrete wall along the south pro- perty line of Washington Street or extending the line of the south property line, by means of a fill to a point on the adjacent property in which the embankment h,1gv �i on its angle of repose will sustain the proper slopes. Due to the inability to secure the necessary reinforcing steel for a concrete wall, the second plan vies adopted as the most feasible method in which to solve the problem. As per instructions fro0aand the City Council, field surveys were made, in order to determine the quantities and other data necessary for a preparation of an estimate. Such surveys have developed the items of work as shown on the accompanying plan. Analyzing the several items of work, the following is a re- sume of the controlling factors effecting same: 1. Embankment in place. Items covers the necessary embankment to hf' msyke the fill necessary to secure the proper lines and grades. Several sources of the embankment was considered, and the most suitable material can be secured from the City pit in the vicinity of "0" and Cherry y, Streets. Although the source is two miles from the point of -delivery, it is felt that the type of material would offset the additional cost �4?x- of haul.
