BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Visited Sections Where New Streets
 Are Called For,


 The board of public works held an outing yesterday afternoon for the pur- pose of Investigating petitions of Mrs George H.. Gloves. for opening new streets on North Willow street, and of Martin Scully, to open new streets on Luke street and Sylvan avenue. Be sides Mayor Kilduff. there were pres ent Commissioners Whiting, Mahaney, Blakeslee, Superintendent Kelley, of the street department Superintendent O'Brien, of the bureau of water, City Engineer Caisns and Assistant City Clerk George H. Nettleton.
 The first place visited was the prop erty of Mrs Cloves, which stands across the street from ''Norwood." Mr Cloves and Engineer Patton were on the ground and showed the board the proposed layout of the new streets The members went over the whole tract, about ten acres, but took no ac- tion on the petition. though, judging by what was said, all appeared satis- fled with the plan. It is a delightful piece of property, sure to sell as soon as it is put on the market, and peo- pie who locate there will find them selves in the midst of a section well supplied with all public improvements and within speaking distance of the trolley cars.
 On the way to Sylvan avenue the board stopped on North Main street to make little investigation regarding a petition flor a building line in that street from Cook street to the june fion. New buildings are going up there right along and the property owners are very anxious that a build ing line should be established. All the new blocks are in a good distance from the streets, but some of the old ones jut out here and there The ques- ton of establishing building line will come up at the next meeting of the board
 The board went over the land of the petitioner on Luke street and Sylvan avenue, and considered that the only thing it lacked to render it as desirable a residence section as that of the Cloves property was the trolley, but Mayor Kilduff thought this was com ing. It consists of nine and three quarters acres and tue survey, which was made by A. J. Patton. shows if ty-four lots. Action on the petition was deferred until some future meet ing.
 From here the board proceeded to the City hall annex, where the pay rolls were read and approved as fol lows: Streets. $63S 40: water. 42.45; sewers, $12619: engineering, 1862; ad- ditional water, $23l.14.
