the purpose of asking the voters to
give them more money to carry them

amount is not to exceed $4,000 and il
is possible that that amount NAV be
reduced Three of the aldermen, at
least, believed that $1,000 was suffi-
cient. Mayor Shurtleff broke the tie
vote. Alderman Bowers offered a mo-
tioh providing for the laying of ce-
ment sidewalk on East State street, to
which objection was made by the mem
bers of the city council Alderman Ma
nori moved an amendment that side.

and the Northfield street job be com
pleted, which was carried. and then on

derman Bowers than stated that he
