He stated mat this proposed improvement had peen considered favorab1y in three or four town meetings and that an ap- propriation of $18.0G0 had been made Tor carrying on the work Inasmuch as the vote in town meeting specified that the work should be done by the present town council it indicated that the taxpayers deprecated unnecessary delay and that # the work was not commenced by the present council the vote might be considered void.
 lie asked that the council fix a grade as he did not consid CT it fair to him in connection with his building opera tons. He had supposed that the peo- pie m town meeting had given all needed instructions to the council along this line and believed the coun- cllnen should act, and not hand this Whoie business back to the people, to pc prepared all over again for presen- tauon to new council.

President Clarke said there was TO desire on the part of the counciinnen to thwart the expressed wish of the people, and they supposed their &C., tlon was what was desired by the par ties in interest. especially as these people had asked for postponements
 from month to month. The original vote carried with it a nine feet cut and an appropriation of s18,000. The special committee reported that the work could not be done within the appropriation, and interested property owners had expressed satisfaction with d cut of six feet. Under these conditions it was deemed best to post pone action until June. when provis- ion could he made to raise the $1S,0OO appropriated and that by that time there would be complete satisfaction as to whether the cut of six or nine feet would be adopted.
 Councilman Eurdiok stated that the appropriation of S1a,0o0 had been withdrawn, or was not available, as the town treasurer stated that the money could not be legally hired as It would exceed the established debt limit
 MT. Welch did not think the appro- priation had been withdrawn, although the vote authorizing the town treasur- CT to seok legislative permission to borrow Sl4,O00 to pay for the site for the new town hall did not include the appropriation for cutting down Union street.
