the privilege Of laying a curb stone in
front Of his residence, No. 3O7 Van Bu-
rem street, and>fbat Council instruct the
Chief Engineer Of the Survey Depart
ment to give the lines for the curb.
Mr.. McGlincLey offered the following
resolution:
ResOtred, That the Street Commit ee
is hereby instructed to have the river
bank ext nd'ng north three hundred feet
from Chri stiana avenue put in good
condition in order to resist the Fall TIDES.
The expense of such repairs to be taken
from the appropriation Of incidental and
miscel aneous expcns s. The cost not
to exceed $50.
MIR. Paynter said that lie was down
in that neighborhood very frequently, and
he could not see any danger. Tie city
has already spent 81, 100 or 1000 on the
bank now. lie thought there was more
danger Of the banks along the avenue
being broken. If any money was TO be
spent, it should be expended in raising
the banks alsng the avenue. The $500
spent on the avenue last summer would
be entirely swept away and four or five
times as much more, II there should
come a storm like last Fail. He would
amend the resolution, that If any mOLey
is to be expended, that it be expend, d
on Christiana avenue.
