ters we're first taken mp, and the first pc.
tition to be acted on was that for the es-
tablishment Of sidewalks and curbing
the same on Highland street. w. W..
Blodgett appeared for Edward 8. Adams,
the owner of several lots with q frontage
OF 80 feet on the street, who objected to
the improvement as the cost would be
more than the value OF the land. james
Monahan, who owns 100 feet, also OBJ
jected. The street IL 75O feet long and the
owners Of $40 feet objected.
George M. Tyler spoke for those In
favor Of the Improvement and said those
residing on the south side had some
rights. They had paid for their share Of
the improvements jim having their side
curbed and the people on the north side
should do the same. Thomas Sheehan and

provement. J. Jerome Patterson sent q

The petition for q change OF grade on
Brook street from North Bend street to
the India Point branch railroad was read
and the abutters examined the engineers
plat OF the street.
The engineer brought In two grades
and there was some confusion over which

Petition OF Michael Grennan to locate q
steam boiler at 82 Mineral Spring avenue
was read, and also an objection signed by
several abutters. james l.. jerks ap.
peared for those who objected and said
that the residents had no feeling against
Mr.. Greenan and did not want to injure
him in any way, but The location 10 In an
entirely residential section, and as the
boiler is to be used to operxte = saw min
1t could not fail to be a nuisance. II
would lessen the real estate and rental
value OF the property.
John A. Arnold then made Q few re.
marks and thenlHugh J. Carroll spoke in
Mr.. Greenan's behalf. Hs said Mr..
Greenan conld not move his lot to please
the other land owners on that street, and
he also stated that the Board adopted the
ordinance In regard to steam boilers not
to suit the tastes Of any class Of people,
but to protect them against danger and
nothing else. He did not think the OBJ
lection was to the steam boiler, but to
Mr.. Grennan's business. He could
operate his saw with an electric motor or
water motor. The whole amount Of It
was, he said, that the people wto objected
did not want any business there. The
Board had no right to prevent him from
carrying on his business and as long as
he did not create nuisance the Board
had no right to interfere. There would
be moi more smcke, grim or dirt than
that which would come from an ordinary
chimney aud tho noise from q saw Is very
slight.
