line. The request has met with little
favor he said.
City Engineer George A. Reeds report
on his inspection of the reservoir con-
tanned recommendation that the dam
of the old Orange reservoir, now in bad
shape, be either repaired or replaced by
a new one. He had also examined the
intakes and the filter reservoir, recon-

Arthur c. Tilden inquired as TO when
the city intended to install the light
promised residents of upper Prospect
street some time ago. He believed that
more than the one light provided by the
council would do away with the necessity |
Of carrying lantern or a pocket full |
Of matches He was informed that ac-
tion was already taken and that after |
The one light had been installed, the coun- /
ill would consider additional lighting /
facilities. Mr.. Tilden hoped that the
light would be in place before fall, as he
lid not relish the idea of toting lantern
up the steppes throughout the winter.
Citizens of Fairview street to the num-
Der of 81 petitioned for sidewalks in that
ieighborhood, and the request was left to

street owned by A. A. Boyce. The petit
ion was construed as an application for
PERMISSION to open the street, and the
natter was referred to the street COM
nttee.
Laborers presented a bill for work
on the street around May Il
he amount totalng $3.50, and the mat
er was left with the street committee. II
