Street and Water Board Open
Bids for New Streets
and Sewers.

The Street and Water Commissioners
met this morning. Commissioner Hard
ing was absent He is in Boston at
tending the encampment of the Knights
Templar. President Brown was to have
accompanied him but sickness prevented
him. The water question was not dis
cussed. The commissioners are waiting
very patiently for the Finance Commits
sioners to appoint the much talked of
expert. ss5ss fs,ls sS g,f.s
The report reached the Commissioners
this morning that the Board of Finance
will meet tomorrow evening and every
one seems to think that the expert will
be named at that time. Who he is likely
to be is a secret that the Finance Com
missioners are guarding very closely
The secret is guarded all the more close
ly because there is, it is understood a
little division on the subject of the ap-
pointment. Wednesday evenings meeting
will settle all further speculation.
