regulations were left the same.
sheridan street Pavement
BY virtue of an agreement under
which the city secured Sheridan
street az an approach to the Rarttah
river bridge. it cannot levy upon the
lands on either side of ID for the new
bftalfthie pavement recently laid on
the thoroughfare. Alderman r. u
Calvin said 1t was a shame when he
heard of 1t. and other members OF
the council agreed with him. The
subject arose when the clerk read
resolutions for the appointment Of
commissioners to assess street I'M
provements. In the case OF the
Sheridan street pavement, the Jersey
Central Traction Company, eeans
1t has two tracks on the street, must
stand the greater portion OF the cost
and the city the balance, which viii
probably be cne-thfrd.

the running at large OF unmuzsled
dogs, the council took steps to have
q permanent and suitable city pound
built on the city's almshouse proper
IT,. Tho public grounds and build
ings committee was authorized "a
have sketches for a structure pre-
pared. 1t is proposed to construct a
building that will be large enough to
house dogs. horses, cattle land the
like. The council could not come to-
an agreement with Albert Leonard,
the dog catcher of South Amboy. He
demanded $1.25 for each dog he was
to pick up In this city and refused
to work with Ole Lund Olesens the
present dog catcher.
Peter Larsen and four other prop
crty owners iii Sherman street had
q petition before the council askins
that q OF suitable size be laid
In that thoroughfare. IT was re-
terred to the committee on streets
and sewers.
Consery Place Extension.
Another step towards securing q
portion OF the Pardee land for the
extension OF Convery place was
taken. Resolutions were adopted ex-
pressing the determination Of the
council to secure the land and that
three commissioners be named by
tho courts to fix the compensation
for the land. Temporary loan certi-
ficates for $4,000 were increased by
$1,000 for that purpose.
Temporary loan certificates In the
amounts of $4,000 and $4,000
weYe issued for payment of the Lib
