/ L0n May0r Council
Gentemen:-At meeting of the
board of water commissioners. Thursday,
May 28th, it was decided, after careful
consideration that we would ask for an
appropriation Of $4,000 for water
works maintenance, tapping and extern
sions for the year ending April so, 900.
Our estimate exclusive of the expenses
! for tapping and probable extensions, none
OF which we have under contemplation,
! approximates very closely to $3lz5 90,
and we consider the additional amount,
making the round figures s4lo0 90 with
in bounds of reasonabeness and safety as
provision for the free taps and extensions
which will doubtless be called for to some
extent before the season closes.
Yours Truly, F. W. Howard
| Moved by Aid Crawford, seconded by
Aid. Hull that the appropriation asked for
by the Water Board be granted, which

be removed and replaced by a six inch
collar tile. We also recommend that a
suitable catch basin Of cement be placed
! in Ellis avenue where now BARREL is used
for that purpose.
