Public Works Members Discuss That
 and Broadway.

The board of public works met last night, Mayor Elton presiding and all the members being present except MT Goss, who is out of town. EvelyDOdy was in good humOr, even Mir Holmes calling the back bills of E. D. A.
 Brady from the table and moving that they be paid with the exception of one charge of eighty-five cents, which was not approved by anybody. In answer to a question from the mayor, Com
 missioner Holmes said that he had
 looked into the matter and satisfied
 himself that MT Brady did the work
 for the city and never received his
 money The motion was passed. Then
 1t was Mir Jackson's turn. He thought
 the city could afford to help MT Eus-
 tice out of his trouble by allowing him
 on his assessment for permanent re-
 pairs on Little 1brook on Adams street
 a sum not to exceed $1OO, MT Eustice to spend the money making temporary repairs on the brook to tide him over
 winter. A vote to this effect was
 passed. The amount of the bills ap- proved footed up $S3.S1
 Things were moving along very pleasantly when Commissioner Brown
 created ripple of excitement by ask ing a few questions. He wanted to
 know if the name of East Main street
 had been changed to that of Broadway and if not who authorized the posting
 of Broadway" signs along that thor oughfare. Somebody suggested that the superintendent of streets be or dered to take the misleading signs | down, but the mayor suggested that it would be well to refer the matter to the city attorney for an opinion as to the city's rights in the premises. The subject was disposed of in accordance
 with the mayors idea. MT Brown then stated that his attention had been called to an article in one of the pa 1 pers in which it was stated that the
 name of Exchange place had been
 changed to Telegram square, but he
 did not care so much about that, all
 though he thought such announce
 ments likely to lead to great deal of
 confusion. None of the rest of the
 members had heard anything about this and nobody had anything to offer on it. Then MT Brown called atten- l ton to the midnight cafe at the green. He thought it would be good time to pass a vote stating that the license will not be renewed after January l. so 1 that the claim cannot be set up that I the proprietor hadn't received ample | notice to enable him to look up another site without running his business. The mayor and Commissioner Jackson con sidered it unfair to owners of build- 1 ings to issue license to anybody to conduct such business on the streets,
 and still his honor remarked that he had no recollection of protest from the proprietor of any store or restaur- ant about that cart of the green. No ! a ofinr u,oc faLop uWDff% Property owners sofii West Main street interested in the change of curb l line opposite the new hotel will be given a hearing next Tuesday and Col l ley street folks were cited in to be heard regarding improvements on No vember l. The petition of R. F. Man. cino for a nine-foot building line on
 Bank street, east side, from James street to Porter street, was placed on the list for investigation. A petition l for the refund of an overcharge on a
 sewer assessment paid by G. A. King on property at the corner of North l Willow street and Plaza avenue was referred to the engineer. The petition l for water main in Beacon and New streets went onto the table, not a cop
 per being available for that class of
 work.
 l The contract for the North Willow
 street sewer was awarded to Edward
 McNIanus as per proposal, amounting
 to $S,960.
