The report of Building Inspector
H. NJ. lowering was read. William ].
Blumenstein was granted permission
to haul sand from the beach at Fourth
street to be used in a building oper-
alton. The resignation of Warren B.
Gordon as ~janitor of the fire-damaged
city hall was accepted. When the or
dinance appropriating $1,000 for the
filling in and repair of the easterly
end of First avenue came up for final
passage it brought forth a letter of
protest from the Civic Improvement
Association which stumped the good
natured City Clerk. He was stumped
because he could not read a portion of
the pen written epistle, and gravely
turned it over to Solicitor Robert
Bright. Just at that moment a trolley
car went by and drowned the voice lof
the solicitor. Whether the smiling
solicitor took advantage of the noise
or not the auditors could not tell.
Miss Eva P. Woodward, secretary of
the association was present and stated

provement, hence the objection. The
ordinance provided that the cost be
borne by general taxation. Mr.. Geese,
a property owner in front of the dam
aged street, urged that the improve
ment be made, and upon motion of Mr..
Webster the ordinance was passed, all
voting for it except Councilman
Hewitt. Complaint was made that
F. E. Smiths drivers were removing
sand from the end of 25th avenue.
Ordered to stop. Solicitor Bright told
of the adjustment of the insurance on
the city hall and that the $4,000 car
ried on the building had been paid. He
also outlined a plan for the erection
of a new city hall and said that by
reason of the large sums of back taxes
being collected the city was now in a
position to erect a building to cost at
least S25, 900 or 100000. He pre-
dicted that the tax rate next year
would be $1.00 per 500 valuation less
than this year. The building COM
mittee was authorized to look for sites
for the new building and report at an
adjourned meeting on Monday night,
September 18th. Upon motion of
