 Selectman Bretzfelder-Wel we have heard considerable argument about this gpr.tv .t1r1.t t.,I. A alI out of order. At our last meeting we referred this entire matter to the conn mittee on roads and bridges and it seems to me we ought to have a report from that committee before we do any thing else.
 Selectman Ludington-Well, am not ready to make a report. The commit tee has held no meeting upon the sub ject and consequently the report Is not ready.
 Selectman Forbes--Two members of that committee have certainly met and considered this matter and I think the report ought to be ready.
 The committee on roads and bridges Is composed of Seleetmen Ludington, chairman; Stahl and Forbes. After considerable further discussion the en- tire matter was tabled for executive session. Later in the evening it was voted to give the Street Railway com pany permission to lay It's tracks in the roadway to Lighthouse Point twen- ty-three feet distant from the eastern boundary of the roadway,
