Business Transacted.
After deley of half an hour last even
ing the board of aldermen succeeded In
getting q quorum together, and the regular |
business for which the meeting was called
was proceeded with. The opening bust
ness was of the usual dull routine nature,
but when the recommendations of the COM
mittee on streets recommending the
hardening or top dressing of streets in
various portions of the CITY came up, the
members arose from their lethargy, and
for few moments things were lively in
and about the aldermanic chamber.
The discussion was brought about as
follows: When the report of the COM
mittee on streets recommending the
hardening of Lloyd street, between Chapel
and Clay streets was read. After motion
to accept the report and adopt the recon-
, mendations Alderman Newton opposed the
! motion and wanted the question referred
/ back to the committee, stating as his reason
{ for desiring this action taken: that the ex-
| pense of hardening streets had become too
4 heavy for the city to stand alone and the
z time was now to discuss the matter thor
t oughly and decide whether or not it
n | would not be possible to assess the
y property owners for benefits and in this
j. way relieve the city of a portion of the
expense of hardening the streets.
g At this point Alderman Blakeslee, in
t order that the matter might be thoroughly
Il discussed at some future meeting of the
9 board, moved that the reports be tabled
@ and this motion was seconded by Alder
y man Hitler. The motion was vigorousl,
10 opposed by Aldermen Gilhuly and Keane
q but was finally carried, but two votes beinl
l. recorded against it.
D. The same action was taken subsequent,
ID recommending the hardening or top dress
?, ing of Dewitt street and Academy street
v between Chapel and Greene streets.
