A communication was received from
Anthony Carroll in reference to the
crushed stone pavement being laid on
Grove street. Mr. Carroll alleged that
the city engineer, accompanied by the
contractor, came to the street where
Mr.. Carroll was inspector of the paw
ing and gave and attempted to have
carried out an order to defraud the
city. Mr. Carroll states that he refused
to carry out the order and left the job
IA ther than do so He asked that the
matter be referred to a committee for
a hearing. 1t was voted to refer the
communication TO a special committee
of two aldermen and three councilmen.
A communica ton was received from
the board of health recommending the
passage of an ordinance to require that
an dlllIlIhlS, SuCH dS CdlS, uOES anu
other small animals which die be i'm
mediately removed by persons licensed
by the board of health. The matter
was referred to the committee on ordi-
nances, A petition from residen 10 of
the Third ward complaining about the |
nuisance caused by the stencil which |
arises from garbage dumped along the
Boulevard sewer and asking that the |
nuisance be abated was referred to the |
board of health.
Councilman Sullivan offered resolu-
ton to provide that steps be taken to |
secure legislation to amend the paving !
act so that a commission would have |
charge Of ordering new pavements. He
said that he believed that the trouble
over getting new pavements here was
not due, as alleged in some quarters, to
on the part of members of
the common council but to lack of in
formation about pavements. He be-
lieved that if the mayor were to ap-
point a commission to have charge of
paving matters men who knew some
thing about paVements would then be
in charge. The resolution was referred /
to the committee on legislation.
A petition. drawn up by ex-Council-

ation for changes in the railroad law

ton recommended that copies of the de-
sired amendments to the law be sent to

nended that the order for the issuance

onds to pay off floating Indebtedness,
ut did not think that bonds for a new {
igb school should be ordered He said
