council took up the several cases
and acted upon them. They grant
ed DR.. Campbell too weeks instead
Of five days; at the Smith, Snider
and Westenhaver properties on
north Spring Street going up the
hill, in as much as they wish to
put in concrete side walks in the
spring when the slope of their lots
gets settled, they were granted
permission to sidewalk with COM

make fair approach to the hill,
and be no waste of material as the
cinders will be used in paving next
summer. The matter of sidewalks

Voris properties was taken up and
the committee empowered to put
in those walks at once.
