Mr.. Greer, as special committee
man, reported and exhibited the
contract for the building of the
concrete pavement on Mary street
from First to the corner of Thomp-
sons, south side of street. t. l..
Branstord was awarded contract,
which calls for walk 9 feet and g
inches wide, with a 3-foot gutter,
and 100 feet long, the cost to be
$4.20 per lineal FOOT base to be OF
pressed brick and fully guaranteed.
There is little difference between
this and the price decided on at the
Boards last meeting, but upon
measurement it was found that the
pavement would have to be made
wider, and arrangements were made
for work to begin at once.
Mr.. Caldwell reported as to the
obstruction on Third street, north,
preventing the passage of water at
the railroad, Mr.. Dahnke agreeing
to open a channel and keep the
streets drained.

General Manager of the N, G. q
St. L. Ry., granting the city per-
mission to remove bank of dirt on
railroad near Try street fronting
Mr.. Whitley's and other residences,
and that the force was now at work
hauling the dirt and filling in at
other places where needed.
Union City Hardware and Furni
ture Company was granted permit
to build a house adjoining Harri-
sons stable to be used as black

A petition was received from
Messrs. Sanders, Crenshaw, Rob-
erts and Bramham asking for an
extension of waterplpe from the
corner of Mr.. Wells residence on
Fifth street, running west, to Sixth
and fire plug. 1t was ascertained
that the property of some of these
gentlemen was outside the corpor-
ate limits, and the question was
disclosed of by passing a resolution
that inasmuch as the city cannot
furnish an ample supply of water
to people living within the limits,
the Board declines to entertain the
petition.
A petition from citizens of Camp
BELLS addition was presented, ask
ing for four new lights on Second
and Third streets.
Citizens of the southern extern
sion of Try street also apply for
more light. Mr.. Polk repeated the
statement that the plant had al
ready more lights than it could
carry; that if all should be turned ;
on at one time the machinery would
be irredeemably damaged.
A permit to Mr.. Reaves was
granted to erect carpenter and

he street in front of premises was
deferred.
A discussion was entered into
oy Mr.. Caldwell, Mr.. Polk, the
Mayor and others as to the adjust
nent OF revenue from the electric
light plant. 1t seems from figures
made by Mr.. Caldwell that some OF
our citizens using from ten to
twenty lights or more are only pay
