THE Committee on Laying Out and Widening Streets, respectfully report that an additional loan of twenty thousand dollars will be required for the payment of unsettled claims for damages occasioned by the widening and change of grade of Tremont street, between Boylston street and the Boston and Albany Railroad bridge. This street was widened and new grade established, June 6, 1868, and a loan was made at that time of Additional loan asked for Making a total of $500,000 00 20,000 00 $520,000 00 In the settlement of damages on this street, the city has purchased several estates, and sold the balance after widening for the sum of $75,072.95, which amount was added to the sinking fund and not to the loan.
