thority to care for part Of the streets

reported that by establishing the curb
line on this street the property owners

this street it would also be wise at
this time to bring First street up to
its full width at this point.
Chairman Hall Vas instructed to ap.
point a committee to take up this mat
ter. The aldermen believed that the

when it is finished the money viii not
have been i'll spent.
