700 MUCH FOR SCHOOLS
The Ring Can't Afford to
Waste $50, 900 on One
Building.

A regular meeting of the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners occurred
this morning.
When the objections 70 the opening of
Lienau Place were called for, a series of
typewritten objections were presented by
MIR. Garriek on behalf of the property
owners on Booraem avenue and the pro-
posed Lienau Place. The principal OBJ
lection was that Booraem avenue was as
yet private property, and that the Board
had no power to open q street which con-
nected private property with street.
The objections were referred to the
committee on streets and sewers.
EEsBfTT AVENUE KIcKERs.
Mr.. Garrick arose when objections to
the Nesbitt street opening were asked for
and said ne had a remonstrance signed
by more than half the property owners
ON this street. This matter was also re-
ferreu to the committee. A time and
place for hearing the property owners
will doubtless be arranged for in the i'm
mediate future.
An application for permission to lay a
sewer pipe in Linden Court and also in
Linden avenue was referred to the Com
mittee on Streets and Sewers.
An application from William Hogen-
camp for the vacation Of Howell street
was received and referred to the Commit
tee on Streets and Sewers.

expend.
