the traction concern to pay certain part
OF the cost OF paving, whenever project
OF the kind is undertaken. Alderman
Shurtleff said he wouldn't favor saddlina
the abutting land owners on South Main
street with the burden of paying the rail
roads assessment, an opinion in which
Alderman Glysson also concurred imme-
diately. Lack of resources was ascribed
as the company's reason for declining to
join with the city and the abutters, and
in closing, H. T. Sands, the general man
ager, who signed the communication said
he would meet the council within few
days if conference should be desired.
1t was decided to confer with Mr.. Sands
at the council chamber Saturday after
noon. Then the mayor and the street
committee Were authorized to take such
steps as are necessary in bringing the
matter of bonding before a special city
meeting and to carry out the provisions
for paving and bridge building as enl-
bodied in resolution adopted last week.
1t is probable that the special city meet
ing will be held early in June.
