matter which might be considered,
but without that information of
course, it is impossible for us to do
anything"
Upon motion of Mr.. Slower the re-.
| port Of the city solicitor was received.
Mr.. Pearse continued: 80 far as
| the means which we may adopt to

would be wise to take action OH that

matter be referred to the committee
| on finance in conjunction with the
| city solicitor to make a report at the
next meeting and advise what means
be used. Mr.. Manhattan's motion 10
this effect was carried.
Mr.. O'Connor raised the question
as to name in which money was to
be provided in connection with pave-
ment of Broadway. Mr.. Pearse
stated he had already reported GER
t~ificates are not feasible because they
ar elimited as to time; that the mat
ter has been up with the bank and
he thought they agreed thai the note
proposition Is the best; that no as
sessments can be levied until after
the improvement Is com leted, then
| the assessments will be levied and as
the money comes In It will be used
gradually to reduce the notes.
The proposed agreement with the
Public Service Company In connec-
ton with the paving Of Broadway
was discussed and it was thought the
question of ordinance covering switch
at corner Of Main street and Broad
way should be taken up promptly in
order that the Public Service Co.
might construct the same before COM
pletion Of the paving.
Mr.. Stanton stated the contracts
for sewer on Thompson street had
not been signed by Collins & Gun
drum for some reason probably best
known to themselves. He did not
think they had dealt fairly with the
council or people In this respect, and
stated as long as he Is a member OF
the council no one will ever get OH
with a forfeit of 500. He offered a
motion that the council re-advertise
for bids for this sewer In the South
