THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
ing INDUCED Hn-The Board to Meet
Again Tonight.
Commissioner Sullivan was the only mem
Der of the board of public works who was
absent when Mayor York called the board to
order last evening. Francis Orr appeared
and asked that he might be given an extern
sion of time for laying a sidewalk on First
street, as hs intended to build next summer
and would have to tear the walk up then
The board referred the matter to the COM
mittee on streets.

Lombard street, by what authority change
was referred to the committee on sidewalks
and curbs.

the attention of the board to the condition of
Crown street, between York and Howe
IL. ! ~ Il
for the city to try with this short distance the
experiment of hardening streets by contract
This question of hardening streets is becom-
ing serious one and the work Is quite ex-
pensive. Whatever can be done towards
cheapening the work, in Mr.. Dickerman's
opinion, should be done. On motion of Mr..
Whitney it was voted that the city engineer
be instructed to advertise for bids, to be
opened two weeks from last night, for the
hardening of Grown street. The bids, at
Mr.. States suggestion, will be made in two
forms, the one the contractor to furnish all
the materials and labor, the other for the city
to furnish the stone and the use of the road
roller.
After several parties in interest had been
heard on the matter of the extension of Gibbs
street the straight layout was adopted and or
dered reported to Court of Common Coun-
ell.
Mr.. States protested against the opening of
bids for sewers as advertised for at the last
meeting of the board, when Commissioners
States and Sullivan were absent Mr.. States
insisted that the board had previously voted
to build the Howard avenue sewer before any
others. After lively discussion over point
of order arising from the question of priority
of business between the signing of the month
" bills and the opening of the
bids for sewers the board proceeded
to the consideration of the bills as
the easiest way out of the difficulty. The
Mayor eyinced desire to escape the tedious
ness of the approval of the bills and an att
tempt was made to have Commissioner Reilly
take the chair, but that gentleman declined,
claiming that It was the duty of the Mayor
to preside during that operation as well IS at
any other time. The monthly bills to the
amount Of 81, 00e were then approved. The
board adjourned until this evening ct $50.
