COMMITTEE REPORT.
Leonord said that barge had backed
into the suction pipe OF the Water Works
and damaged it. Repairs TO the piling
around the pipe SHOULD be made imme-
diately. He thought it would cost more
than 500.
cent said that he had not had time to
60 to San Jose to see the street
machine, but he understood that there
was one like it ID the city. The machine
man attaching it was one of the owners
and says the city can use 1t as far as he is
concerned.
Leonard said the machine here was not
like the San Jose machine.
Devine presented report and specii-
cations for repairing the Second-street en-
gine house. lie said the Improvement
was much needed as there was danger of
part OF the building falling in. 1t would
cost II, 800.
Pennish thought that building farther
towards il street could be purchased and
put in order for $500. The funds also
were low.
Devine thought in that case the board
could not afford to pay the extra eX pense.
Bragg thought the specifications were
weak, as they did not specify the kind of
brick, mortar, etc. There were also
needed improvements that were not
specified. They should be amended.
Deylne withdrew the specifications.
Leonard favored the proposition of
Pennish 10 put up the building on the
alley on the opposite side of the street, as
il would be decidedly better than the
present one. The old one could be
cneaply fixed for the present.
The Building Committee was given
further time on the matter, Leonard be-
ing added TO it.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
a. NJ. Seymour asked leave to with
draw the ordinance prepared for granting
the Standard Oil Company the privilege
OF putting up warehouse. Granted.
SECOND STREET EXTENSION.
L. T. Hatfield appeared for the Sperry
Flour Company TO ask that the request
for closing up the Second street extension
be not granted as present, as the ap-
proaches proposed were not adequate;
that they should be permanent and with
out expense to the property owners. He
hoped the board would not grant the re-
quest at present.
