sewer on tne other side of my property, but I object to paying for it until t comes" Tie mayor said there could be no ambiguity about MT BohlS pos.- tion on the question and thought it was beginning to get to a point where l it would have to be fought out by the lawyers. It was finally agreed to bridge the chasm by recommending to the aldermen that the city be author ized to construct sewer in front of the balance of MT Bohl's property on Cedar street
 Kendrick Simons of Cherry street was heard relative to a special sewer assessment amounting e.$10S. MT Si- mons said 1t was all right and won- dered why it was not levied long ago. T. J. Coyle, representing the Hln Street Improvement club, called atten- ton to the need of an electric arc light at the corner of Hill street and Johnson avenue. He said they have club in that part of the town and that one of the aldermen from the second ward visited the place a few times and the members had to meet him down the way with lanterns. Mir Coyle also said that he hoped the city would be able to grade the street when the pipe is being laid for the elevated ser vice and avoid tearing 1t up twice. He was informed that at the present time there is no money available for the light he had reference to and was thanked cordially for the suggestion regarding the grading of the street.
 The petition of P. W. Connor for abatement of a street assessment, re- ferred to the board by the aldermen. was sent back to that board without recommendation. the members taking the ground that they had nothing to do with such matters and inquir1ng why it was brought before them. F The Rev Father Senesac, pastor of St Ann's church. asked for a rebate on the City hall rent during the time it was used by the parish for the an nual fair. The whole bill footed up to about $24O and the board Topped $40 off it.
 A petition of the Hellmann Brewing Go for permission to make six-inch tapping with the Bank street main was referred to Superintendent Johnson for investigation and report, MT Goss remarlSing as it passed along that he should vote for no more connection larger than two inches unless the city put in a shut off at the opposite side of the curb so that the hremen can shut off the water in case such action might at any time be deemed expedi- ent.
