sultaton with President Cherry and
Treasurer Turner of the Standard BIZ
tunthic Company in Philadelphia and

took this step. The company did not
deem IL advisable to pave streets
where no sewers had been laid.

said that he would present a resolution
and a contract based upon the available
fund of the city between the present
time and January /, 1907.

never agree to have the streets paved
until all taps for water connections had
been made to the curb line and as Off

the streets had to be opened up after

putting in water connections that the
company would be responsible for their
condition.

the impression that the company de-
sired to lay a sample block Of pave
