 5 that the following matters, or any one or more of them, shall be
 6 referred for report thereon, to such commission by the board, commis-
 7 sion, commissioner or other public officer or officers of said city or
 8 village which is the final authority thereon before final action thereon
 9 by such authority: the adoption of any map or plan of said city or
 10 incorporated village, or part thereof, including drainage and sewer or
 11 water system plans or maps, and plans or maps for any public water
 12 front, or marginal street, or public structure upon, in or in connection
 13 with such front or street, or for any dredging, filling or fixing of
