The City Engineer was instructed to

Ter street and Tiber Way.
On motion, Mr.. d. .Torpy was re-
quested to allow the waters of Goose
Run to pass through the mill lot un-
obstructed.
The matter of the Goose Run sewer
was taken up and discussed. 1t seems
that the mouth OF the arch opening in
to the Ice HORROR lot is of such pro-
portions that the 9. foot sewer cannot
be built against it without forming
an obstruction to the passage of such
debris as sometimes goes through the
sewer. Ii will be necessary in order
to do the work properly, to extend the
9-fcot sewer at leas' % feet back into
the arch. This matter was talked ov-
er and as there seemed to be some
doubt as to whether there would be q
| difference in the cost of the work by
this change in the plans, it was by
motion decided to refer the matter tc
the Sewer committee and City En-
gineer to report at next meeting.
On motion the disposal of street
sweepings was left to the Street Com
mittee.
The City Engineer was instructed
to furnish grades for sidewalks on sew
eral streets on the West Side.

ter to the Building committee.
