CONSULTING THE ENGINEER.
Special Session Of City couuciI-PropOsed
Changes Ia City Streets.

state Road Engineer w. w. Crosby,
who is consulting engineer OF the inn
provements now being made upon a
number of the city streets, was in this
city today and the Council met in
special session shortly after ! / o'clock
for the purpose of consulting with
him IN regard TO certain changes de-
sired to be made in order to secure
proper grades with the iniiiction of as
little loss and expense upon abutting
property owners as possible. In most
cases Engineer Crosby made such
changes as TO secure the wishes of the
property holders and members OF the
City Council.
The members Of the Council, with
Mr.. Crosby and Mr.. Haman, his as
sistant. who is giving the work his
personal supervision, visited the
points were changes were suggested
and Mr.. Crosby's suggestions were
made on the spot. A slight change was
made in the grade of the lower part of
Market street so that there will be no
disturbance of the asphalt footway in
front of the property of William NJ.
Boucher. 1t was also advised that 1t
woull not be necessary to make the
contemplated cut of Conduit street,
near Cathedral street TO such an extent
as contemplated and that the footways
Mt that point need only be disturbed a
very little, if any. Mr.. Crosby sug-
gested catch basin TO carry of the
water from Union street and thence
to the creek. II was desired TO keep
the water from flowing to Gloucester
street.
Mr.. Crosby advised against the pro-
posed change of plans of Charles
street. The original plans contemplate
cut of about eighteen inches at a
point on Charles street about seventy
five yards from Gloucester street, the
street having its summit at that
point and it being wished to MAKE
the grade so as to carry the water to
the creek. The cut is not wished by
the residents, as it is feared that il
will injure the handsome shade trees
at that point. However, Engineer
Crosby believes that the cut can be
made without injury 10 the trees.
