ough council at their meeting next
Monday night will probably act on
the awarding of bids for curbing of
Grant and Railroad avenues, action
upon which were held III. awaiting
the advice of taxpayers of these
streets whether concrete or blue
stone work is preferred.
An ordinance for the improving of
Burlington street with funds left
over from the 1923 appropriation
for roads will be taken up at its
first and second readings. Other
improvements are scheduled for
consideration.
The question of an ambulance-pa-
troll wagon for the police depart
ment as advocated by Councilman
Joseph c. Childs will undoubtedly
receive some discussion on this &C
casion. 1t is indicated however that
the majority councilmen will post
pone action on this equipment in
view of the fact that no funds have
been included for it in the 1928 bud
get. The council, according to close
officials Is favoring the purchase of
the needed equipment but would do
so with funds allotted next year.
Action is expected on a@building
code and appointment of building
inspector. Mayor Thomas j. Mulvi-
hill would regulate the increasing
building activity which makes it
necessary to use streets for storage
of building materials.
