sioner J. Walter Barnes at the meet.
Ing OF the City Board OF Affairs this
morning. little important business was
transacted. The Board ordered Street
Commissioner Albert Lehman to grade
the streets where laying OF sidewalks
is to be done right away. This takes
in the Morgantown avenue and East
Park avenue improvements. Water
street, running from the river on the
East Side to the junction Of East Park
avenue. Merchant Street and Morgan.
town avenue was ordered repaved so
that the street will be made seven
feet wider. The paved road will ex.
tend from the present sidewalk to
the concrete wall OF the Monongahela
railway. This will make great i'm.
proyement In the sightliness Of the
treet and win also leave room for
the large amount OF traffic which must
pass along that street. City Health
officer c., r. Ramage handed his re-
port this morning but It was held over
until some day this week. at which
time all members OF the Board will be
present. That date has not yet been
set.
A petition presented by Fred Helmick
OF the Helmick Foundry Machine Co
asking the Board to consider change
in the streets in the section In which
the factory is located. What is now
known as Chamberlain avenue. and
what was formerly Park avenue ia
the subject Of the petition. Blue prints
showing a detour OF that street were
submitted. The detour is asked SO
that the company can enlarge its
plant. The change Is requested to be
made between Eighth and Ninth street
The company also offered the city a
strip Of land which will be made into
street and which will be given to
the city in exchange for the present
Chamberlain street which is rarely
used by traffic.
Another petition was brought be.
fore the Board by the Fairmont Build.
ing and Investment company. asking
the city to use Its influence to have re.
moved from Pennsylvania avenue and
Hampton road stone crusher be.
longing to Sam Polino.
The crusher, the petition says,
makes awful shrieking noises and
spreads dirt In that section to the
prejudice Of the good health OF the
children breathing the street air. The
Board will act on the petition at q
later meeting.
