up to last night they had not dscidsd just
what they would recommend In regard to
vaughAp's bridge. the engine housss at
the West End and ct Morrills. regarding
the Exchange street sewer and several
other important matters. The Vaughans
bridge matter win undoubtedly be
thrown upon the city council to settle. Il
Is understood that the bridge must be re-
paired this year any way. IL will cost
$50, GOO to repair It. $500 or there

a bout 500, 200 to build lie bridge wide

Of so. 900 would be merely postponing
the evil day q few years longer. 10 is q
question over which there has been much

1t Is understood that the COMMITTEES on
estimates have agreed to report favorabiy
on an appropriation for continuing the
exten sion Of the intercepting sewer about

their appropriation down to the bone and
will ask that the money they have saved

There is little nkelihood Of the school
