en- by the common council last night
after long discussion.
Mayor Paonessa brought the pro-
position to the common council in
written message in which each
phase Of the work was discussed.
When he had concluded, Councilman
Donald l.. Bartlett inquired If the
projects contemplate an expenditure
Of city funds.
The mayor answered that there
might be slight expense in connec-
ton with securing of rights of way
for the new highway. aud that one
third Of the cost of bridges must be
paid by the city, the state and the
railroad company paying proportion
ate shares.
Alderman William II. Judd OBJECT
ed TO action on the several projects
in view Of the fact that advance
copies of the report were not in the
hands o. council members. and he
moved that the report be printed in
the minutes aud tabled for action
at the next meeting.
After Councilman Bartlett had
pointed out that the city depart
ments cannot obligate the city to
any expense without sanction by the
council. making it necessary for
,1ese matters to be reviewed later.
Alderman Judd withdrew his reso-
,ution, and the mayors report with
