pumps" or the like, for at the coun-
ell meeting Monday night Solicitor
Blake gave it as his opinion that the
grant under which the title OF the
land is held will not permit OF its
use for such purposes. His report
was referred to the committee on
public property and later in the even

conformity with the suggestions OF
the solicitor.
Sometime ago the people of East
Fourth street, holding property be-
tween the creek and the Georgetown
road, asked that the street be improv-
ed, while others came in with re-
monstrance. These people were CIV
en- a hearing and it was impossible
TO get them together. Monday night
Il was decided that improvements
should be made there, but they will
only run to the first alley east of
Schwalm street, while the remainder
will 60 unimproved. Councilman
Aungst wanted a weeks further time
in order to allow them to get togeth-
er out there, but Councilman Folk
opposed this and the engineer gave
an estimate for the improvement to
the alley east of Schwalm street
When the matter Of improving
North Mckinley avenue, from Third
street to Lake street, by paving the
same came up year or SO ago, prop
erty owners wanted the driveway to
be &c feet wide. Later it was decid-
ed that 1t should be 80 feet wide and
the legislation was completed for this
width and the work is being adveT-
tised Now, another petition is in
asking that the roadway be increased
to SO feet, owing to the fact that
the N. o. T. has It's lines there and
the claim is set up that the street
will be too narrow with the car tracks
in the center. The committee on
streets and alleys will look after the
matter.
Councilman Aungst wants Solicitor
Blake to find out whether it Is not
possible to have all interurban cars
running into the city to stop at all
street crossings and whether trans
feTs given on city cars cannot be used
on these lines and cars.
Messrs. Dumoulin, Ferguson and
Fqoom gave their estimate of the
cost to each property holder for the
improvement of North Cleveland ave-
nue by paving the same from the
present township line to the corpo-
rate limits. The entire sum of $780,
712.59 was apportioned on the benefit
plan to the different properties and
therefore was filed with Clerk Lloyd.
