protested against the charge of one-half
cent basket for wharfage. The truckers
think tine charge too h,uch and say they
not decreased. Their protest will be con-
sidereI. The 10. eph Bancroft Il Sons
Company think f;teen-inch pipe for he
sewer to connect their mills will be too
small, as it will not carry off 100000 gal
Ions of water day from the mills. They
propose an olghtecn-inch pipe, Engineer
Hatton will look into the question Tho
board practically agreed to allow the
larger pipe.

Icy will mako an investigation of tho com
plaint. Mrs. c. l. McIlvane, Of No. 1Oll
Park Place, wishes the tido Of tho lamp in
front of her residence painted, as the light

ic of complaints about TOO much light and
the directors are being kept tusy giving
judgments. Mr.. Simmons suggested that
