THAT $2S6,705 will be needed for wa
ter bound macadam pavement in adj
dition to the $500, 900 bond issue for

streets and sidewalks committee, told
the members of the board of appor-
tionment last night when the items of
the streets and sidewalks committee
were up for discussion
why you can hardly drive @
wagon through these streets in wet
weather, let alone automobile,
said Alderman MacFayden. Some
thing must be done for them
tT thought that it has been decided
was to be laid and that all future
pavement was to be of a permanent
character queried Commissioner
Frank e. Clark
You can't lay Warrenite or any
other pavement until after you have
laid a macadam bed said Alderman
MacFayden.
IT thought this money was coming
out of the bond issue.' said Commits
sioner Robert j. Lynch.
"Not at ALL returned the alderman.
The sewer committee had requisi-
ton in for $419, LIS, which the board
refused to consider, saying that this
was to come out of the bond issue.
This included an item of $114,335 for
sewers that the Remington Arms &
Ammunition Co. has built.
