NEW FEES FOR The
CITY ENGINEERS

Directors OF the Street and Sewer
Department, at a meeting yesterday
afternoon, passed a resolution chang
ing the rates TO be charged by city
engineers for their services. The idea
of the change in fees is to make them
uniform, the variance I'm charges
under the old system being somewhat
annoying, IL being possible for a man
to have work done on one side OF a
street for SO. while similar work on
the other side of the street might cost
two or three times as much. The new
fees provide for uniform charges for
all surveying OF marking OF lines for
buildings.
The minimum charge hereafter will
be 81, which will enable the marking
Of lines up to 100 feet in length. For
the marking of lines more than 100
feet long there will be charge of 81
for the first 100 feet, and then two
cents for each foot in excess Of one
hundred feet.
