one ana ABOUT Whlch most everybody
had something interesting and entirely
original, of course, to express, probably
had its effect on the board of aldermen
last night, for they finished up their
routine business session in jig time and
meeting. Which proves that an alder
manic board may be genuinely human
at times. Alderman Cook was the only
absentee and that energetic member
from ward two, who is spending these
pellucid September days among the MUIR
muring pines of famous Maine pleas
are ground, probably had no thought OF
what he was missing.
With the end of the year more than
three months distant, the street COM
mittee has overdrawn its years appro-
priation already, according to state
ment of the city treasurer. The appro-
priation has been exceeded by $40 and
to tide the department over until the
end of the year, resolution appropriat-
ing an additional $1,000 was drafted,
read and passed to a second reading.
The money will be ready to use when
the resolution is adopted at the next
meeting. In detail, the expenditures of
the department were gone over and dis
cussed. 1t is probable that the commit
tee will enforce rigid economy during
the remainder of the year in the mat
ter of expending street money, as the
extra complement of $1,000 is designed
TO carry the work along as near TO the
last month of the IL as possible.
Occasional visitors were +. o. Kent,
who dropped in to inquire about the
Wellington street sidewalk, which has
fallen into bad repute of late, and Earl
E. Parker, who inquired of the prospects
for a sewer extension on Bank street.
Mr.. Kent's renewal of the complaint
against the sidewalk was turned over
to the street committee and the ques-
tion asked by Mr.. Parker, who contem-
plates the erection of at least two dwell
ing houses on Bank street, was referred
to the same committee. Regular visit
ors were G. C. Perkins and George Rand,
who told of their wire and building in
spections during the week. Inspector
Rand's favorable report on A. Tomasi's
request for permission 10 build a roof
over his third-story piazza at l2 Mer-
,hant street was accepted and the per-
nit granted. The inspectors report on
minor permits issued in August was also
accepted and in the case OF Mr.. Perkins,
permits were granted, on his recommen-
lation, in the following instances: w. w.
