 cations were ordered on file. The mat ter of removing city pipes from the property of Harry W. Willetts was re- ferred to a committee consisting of the mayor and city engineer with power to act The committee to whom was referred the application of Will fam Kennedy to open Spring street for the purpose of making better water service, reported that they knew noth- ing except to open the street. Some of the members thought that if this was the only alternative the petition should be granted, but the engineer didn't think so. The engineer was informed that the petitioner was not the owner of the property at the time the street was paved and the people owning property thereon ordered to make proper connections. To this MT Cairns replied that the purchaser bought such rights as the original owner had to sell and no more. The committee was requested to try again The application of F. Fl. Garrity to make sewer connections on Canal street and Franklin street was refer red to committee consisting of the mayor and engineer.
