 The Paving and Sewer Commission reported that having been instructed to extend the Seaview avenue sewer to the channel, we found that in or der to continue it as would ordinarily
 be done along the highway and then
 out to the channel, it would require an expensive construction by way of piling and the use of iron pipes. We therefore entered into negotiations with MT. Frank A. Wilmot, who owns
 land lying between Seaview avenue
 and Yellow Mill Pond to see if we
 could procure from him right of
 way through this land. MT. Wilmot
 has generously agreed to allow the city to extend its sewer to the water
 through his land and has agreed to
 give the city a right of way through
 hsi property for this purpose, upon
 the conditions set forth in the accom-
 panying agreement. By this public
 the city will be saved several thou
 sand dollars even after complying with
 the conditions imposed by MT. Wilmot. We submit with this report a copy of the agreement Wn1Cn Mr. WlIfnOt is willing to make with the city and we recommend for adoption the fol-
 lowing resolution:
 Resolved, That the proposed agree ment, accompanying this report, for a right of way through the property of
 Frank A. Wilmot for the extension of
 the Seaview avenue sewer, be accept
 ed and that Mayor Edward T. Buck ingl1am be and is hereby authorized to execute said agreement on behalf of the city and he is hereby appoint ed the city's agent for said purpose. Respectfully submitted this 3d day of January 1910.
