OLD REPAIR BILLS PERPLEX ALDERMEN
Property Owners Protest Pay
 ing Something for Nothing

A complete study will be made Of
 the situation arising out of the be-
 fuddled accounts and an opinion
 sought from the corporation coun-
 sel by the board of aldermen. sit
 ting as a special committee of the
 common council, before any decision
 will be reached regar ling the claims and counter-claims of the city against property owners for work on installation or repair of side walks. A hearing was given a large number of property owners by the special committee last night at city hall.
 Numerous tales of how the board of public works failed to send out bills to property owners for work done until six or more years had passed; how people were billed for work that was never done and many other complaints were heard in full detail last night. More than two dozen complaints were heard during the course of the hearing Former Mayor George A. Quigley was among those who appeared. He said that he had had a sidewalk placed in front of property owned by him on West Main street and he paid the prvate contractor for his work in 1925. Some time later he received a bill from the city all thought he had never ordered the city to have the work done for him. William E. smith, superintendent Of city hall, reported that he was asked as a favor to have few flags moved so that the grade on Camp street could be change. He agreed 10 allow the board of public works ceived a bill for $2S. He had been charged for S2 feet of paving when his property has a frontage of only e feet, he said.
 C. J. Parker, representing a con- mlttee of members of the Ecclesi- aStical society of the First Church, said that he had received a bill for $l0O for work done in front of the society's property at Lexington and West Main streets and he was posi- tive that the work had never been done. He resides across the street from the place and would have been aware of any work done there. John kilbourne said that he had bought in 1925, three lots on Com monwealth avenue knowing that a sewer had been placed in the street the year before. The official city records showed no cncum- brances on the property. Last year he received bills for this work and now he has no recourse at law nor have persons who bought two of the lots from him.
 Residents of RoXbury Road who had purchased property from kil- bourne with the undcrstan ling that there were no assessments against the property, learned last year of old assessments for work done while the property was held by the former owners.
 These complaints arose out of the failure of the board of public works to send out bills for sidewalk, sew CT and curb work as soon as it was completed. This failure resulted last year in the dismissal of George Johnson as clerk and the resgna- ton of City Engineer Williams.
