it was found that the best the coun-
Gil could figure last evening over $4,000
is needed above what income there is
in sight now. The meeting came to
an end shortly after Alderman Bowers
pressed his motion, in spite of these
figures, that some cement walk on East
State street be laid, so that whatever
expense there was over what the abut-
ers would pay would come out of city
finances Alderman Maroni, Just be.

that the finance committee get togeth
er and give some figures upon which
a basis of funds needed could be placed.

sons who want TO have grade cross
ing for private use over the Central
Vermont tracks on the Sabin meadow,
asking the city to join with the 9th
ers in petitioning the public service
commission for a crossinRs and IT was
voted that the city. with The Central
Vermont railway and those persons
who want to build stonesheds on the
Sabin meadow, join in a petition for
the crossing. The matter of the sewer
from G. a. Watson's house TO the
main sewer near the high school build
ing was under consideration and May
or Shurtleff stated that the matter is
now in the hands of the city attorney
but that it has become nuisance and
that the city should repair it and col
lect from the owner. The condition
of the Mechanic street bridge was dis
cussed aud the engineer will examine
it to-day.
