There was just quorum present at
(. ohe meeting Of common, council, which
6ohsisted of the following persons:
1eessrs. Mills. Smith. McDonough. Kase,
Devine, Baker and Colwell.
On the petition of the residents re-
sarding the proposed Dilton avenue.
the street committee recommended tnat
the matter be referred to the city en-
gineer to go over the ground and report
70 the councils whether the new lines
Be- practicable. The street committee
reported on the Salem avenue improve
menf. Mr.. Kase said mat something
should be done with the gutter on the
school property at Park street; the
water was running through, undermin-
ing the curbing.
Before Mr.. Kase sat down he wished
70 know who gave the Cottage Hose
company the authority to purchase a
nozzle. He said that everything should
be done in business-like manner and
although he was willing to report ia
vorably on the payment Of the bill, he
would like them to get some authority
from the council.
y. Some discussion In regard to the re-
pairing of the Mitchell's hose cart was
indulged in. Several councilmen want
ed to know why the company did not
have 1t done at once, as other things
less important they went ahead with.
The lunch wagon was again brought
up. The committee had found out that
the owner paid a license. Mr.. Mills
thought that 1t was best not to license
the wagon at all, as it could then open
up in front of any restaurant. Some
complaints in regard to the electric
lights were submitted by Mr.. McDon-
oueh. The lights have been very un-
satisfactory, the oneat the white bridge
satisfactory, the one at the white bridge
other at Fifth avenue and Wyoming
street.

IN select council called for the rounding
up Of Spring street between Eighth and
Ninth avenues. Someone remarked
that It was now too late to have any
thing done this year, as the season was
10 far advanced. The subject was re-
ferred to the committee with instruc-
tions to have the work done should the
weather permit. Mr.. Kase said the
work should be done this fall, as NE
residents had always paid taxes and
never had anything done for them. me
resolution in regard to repairing the
bridge over Rocket brook was referred
to the committee. as 1t was not known
whether the bridge belonged to the city
or not.
