Tho usual budget Of routine business
! was transacted Monday evening at the
monthly meeting OF the board OF alder
men. Mayor Bigelow submitted his dis
approval Of the resolution previously
adopted accepting the deed OF dedication
of Adsit place. Tho mayors suggestions
were carried out and the deed OF dedica-
ton Is accepted In accordance with his
| recommendations
The deed as accepted is intended 10
protect the taxpaying body Of the city
from any possible expense in case Adsit
place Is extended to connect with an
other public street at any time within
% years. The fact that property abut-
ting on any public street cannot be as
sessed for an extension TO such street
would place that portion Of the cost OF
an extension that should be properly
charged to property now abutting on
Adsit place on the city itself But by
the terms OF the new deed the property
is TO he held liable for this and the
city is freed from this obligation. The
mayors communication follows;
