PARKS AND WAYS.
Chairman Williams, OF the commit
| tee on parks and ways, in reference
| to a letter from the mayor regarding
| placing flagmen at dangerous street
| crossings, transmitted a letter from
/ superintendent E. o. Saltmarsh OF
| the L. & N. in which it was stated
| that orders had been issued Tor ali
| trains to come to a full stop unless
| preceded by a fiagman when about to
| cross Gadsden street.
The same committee, referring to
| certain resolution from the Civic
| League regarding the Palafox park
| way, reported it was not within the
/ province OF the committee TO reopen
| the question regarding the removal OF
| tracks from the parkway.
BOND TRUSTEES.
The bond trustees recommended a
/ change in pavement plans on that
| portion OF PalafoX street between
! Garden and Wright streets, bringing
the pavement nearer to the property
| line. An ordinance providing for such
a change was later introduced.
The board asked authority to hire
clerk at a salary of SO per month.
| This met with opposition on the part
of Alderman Kugleman who said he
thought there were enough clerks
hanging around the city hall that
| the board could make use Of" Al
derman Williams suggested that the
matter go to the finance committee
and that a clerk be allowed tempo
rarily until the finance committee
| could report. Alderman Kugleman
said a clerk from the water office was
available for two or three days. In
explanation of the request, Chairman
Bushnell of the bond trustees stated
| that assessment warrants had to go
to each property owner along por-
lions of streets to be paved, these
warrants amounting to nothing less
than a mortgage. He said he would
| not insist on a regular clerk if clerical
aid could be procured otherwise than
on regular, stipulated salary. It was
understood a clerk from the city hall
will be used, and the request was then
referred to the finance committee.
The board also filed with the cOun-
ell the form of the special assessment
plan, as provided for at the last meet
ing. The report was received and
filed.
ASKED FOR MONEY.
The board Of works made applica-
ton for the sum of $4,950 to build
cross walks in grass plots. The re-
quest was referred to the finance
committee.
A report from the clerk showed
there had been As births and IS deaths
for 1st month. There had been
issuou II burial permits and 225 ex-
cavation permits.
A regular monthly report was also
in hand from the tax collector, which
was read and referred to the finance
committee.
