ses had been denied certain appli-
cants, and were informed that the Ii
censes had been withheld for social
and economic reasons.
Mr.. F. G. Hibbard, representing the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
company, reported briefly on the con-
dition of the 59th Street Bridge, stat
ing the company's engineers estimat-
ed it would cost $3,50000 to repair
the south abutment and $4,000 to put
N the north abutment in safe condition.
The city engineer was directed to con-
fer with Mr.. Pinckley, engineer of the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
company.
Mr.. j. f. Lowther, City Engineer,
reported on conditions confronting the
City on Ludington Avenue, Green
field Avenue and East Milwaukee
Avenue. He thought new culvert
could be put in Ludington Avenue for
approximately $660.00, and that it
would cost about $12500 to lower the
water main so it would run beneath
the culvert. He was advised by Mr.
Hohensee that 48-inch reinforced
concrete sewer pipe was costing him
about S2.85 a foot, or $3.50 for each
length, and thought this might be
used to advantage for culverts in
some of the streets. He felt that
Greenfield Avenue should have cul-
vert six feet wide and four feet high.
