an excellent deposit The Commits
sioner was not apprised of the pur-
chase price of the property.
Upon motion of Mr.. Most. the COM
mittee on Streets and Roads was au-
thorized to act with the Street Com
missioner to see what the property
could be purchased for.
Mr. Hettinger thought that COM
mittee of City Council should go oy-
er the streets recommended for gut
tering, and report back to City Coun-
Gil so that proposals for laying the
proposed cutters could be advertised
for Mr.. Hettinger then moved that
committee be named by the Presi-
dent. This motion was carried. The
President named the City Councilmen
as a committee of the whole.
Mr.. Holmes explained the recon-
mendations of the special committee
on permanent paving by saying that
Atlantic Street and North Laurel st.
had been considered, but it was con-
sidered that South Avenue was the
proper place for paving at this time.
Mr.. Holmes moved that the Bridge
ton and Millville Traction Company
be notified of City Councils intention
of paving South Avenue, So it may
provide paving rails.
Mr.. Holmes said that he did not
know just how far the South Avenue
paving would go until it was learned
how much of the appropriation would
be required to pave Church Lane.
Mr.. Most was strongly favorable to
permanent paving on East Commerce
Street. He did not think that South
Avenue was the proper place for paw
ing at this time.
Mr.. Hettinger said that the reason
Atlantic and Laurel Streets was not
recommended was because the pro-
posed water mains could not be
placed at this time.
Mr.. Laning thought that South Ave-
nue was an important tnoroughfare
and should be improved.
Mr.. Hettinger concurred with this
view.
Mr.. Channels wanted to know if
there was any way in which perma-
nent street paving could be kept from
being broken within five years except-
ing, perhaps, in extreme emergency.
commissioner of Public Works
Friedrich said that in some western
cities there were penalties for break
ing of streets within and 10 years.
The motion of Mr.. Holmes was tnen
passed.
Mr.. Holmes moved that the City
Engineer at the next meeting pre-
sent to City Council an estimate cost
of paving Church Lane with both
concrete and macadam. This motion
prevailed.
Following the suggestion of Mr..
Channels, Mr. Hettinger moved that
a committee be appointed to act with
the Corporation Counsel to devise an
ordinance to provide that all service
pipes should be laid before paving is
placed, and to protect such paving
when it is laid. The motion prevailed.
The President appointed Mr.. Hettin-
ger and Mr.. Channels as such COM
mittee.
MI. Holmes said that there was ac-
tvity in some South Jersey communi-
ties in efforts to secure the proposed
State Normal School. He moved that
a committee of Council be named to
act with any similar committee of the
commercial League. the Board of Ed
ucatlon or other bodies interested in
the matter. This motion prevailed
and President Evans named Mr.
Holmes and Mr.. Laning as the COM
mittee.
