power to compel persons to replace

nance requires plumbers to furnish a

referred to the plumbing inspector

enforced when he assumes office in

the city's portion of West Government

with the road leading to the national
cemetery. He believed that il could
be put in proper repair for a small
sum and said he thought the city had
enough money with which to do the
work. stating that the citizens are de-
handing that this and all other streets
be put in good repair.
Chairman Daniels. of the Board of
Public Works, said that the board did
not have enough money with which
to do the work. Mr.. Daniels estimated
the cost for repairing West Govern
ment street at about $4,000.

The matter of parties who make ex-
cavations in the streets was brought
to the attention of the council by Mr..
Daniels, who said that unless the
work of replacing excavations was
done under the supervision of the city
engineer conditions would never inn
prove. He said that plumbing and
other establishments would allow
dollar day negro to replace the pave
ment, but the negro is not allowed TO
do the plumbing work.
City Engineer Thornton said he was
prepared to take care of the Palafox
street pavement, but could not give
his attention to other streets.
Mr.. Daniels said if the citv engineer
would take care of the present paved
streets he would be satisfied and
would wait until other streets were
paved.
