Stewart and .Arbor Streets Will Re-
ceive Financial Assistance

Resolutions were passed by the as
sembly last evening appropriating ST.
500 to assist in the construction of the
Stewart avenue and Arbor street sew
ers, notwithstanding the protest of DR..
Schiffmann.
Stewart avenue property owners will
receive aid in the sum of $500 and the
Arbor street people get $500. providing
SO much is needed to bring the cost
within the charter provision that pre-
vents property being assessed for more
than 25 per cent of its taxable assessed
valuation for a local improvement.
DIR. Schiffmann insisted that the no.
tice of the board of public works that
1t is necessary to appropriate the sums
mentioned to assist in the construction
of the sewers was not sufficiently spe-
cific, in that the exact amount needed
was not specified. He thought all such
applications should be closely investi-
gated. He secured the support of KEEL
Ter, but with seven votes in favor Of
the resolution they were carried, Pow
ers having amended them so that the
property must be assessed the full %
per cent before the money appropri-I
ated can be used.
