 MT Whittemore then pointed out the work needing to be done now. mentioning Johnson street where oiling and some graveling is need ed and wooster street, which also needs oiling and graveling. These are EZRA projects.
 There was also discussion of Hunters mountain. Warden Sher- idan declared considerable damage was done there by the recent storm, saying that because there were no gutters there, the damage was more extensive.
