 The board referred to City Engi- neer Charles A. Root a request from the finance board for data on the terms of an oral contract for the hire of steam shovel owned by Anthony Lambo, which is being used on a North Main street sewer proj- ect. Controller Sherwood l.. Row land has withheld payment of bill for $7000 submitted by Lambo. A request was also received from the finance board for information on the cost to the city of the Bald- win street paving project. It was voted to refer the finance board to Controller Rowland for this in- formation.
 The Baldwin street projects original estimated cost was about $193,000. However, the state has taken over much of the project and it is expected that the city's cost will only be about $83,000. Retaining Wall
 Building Inspector Patrick Car lin and Corporation Counsel Char les s. O'Connor reported to the board that retaining wall be- tween 390-396 Willow street and Cloves Terrace must be rebuilt by the owner of the property, since the wall is on private property.
 They reported that the wall is on the property of Cornelius Daly, on Willow street. The wall con- meets with property of David Fitz- patrick on Cloves Terrace.
 MT. Daly expressed the opinion that the wall was built by the city and should be repaired by the city. MT. Carlin declared that quick action should be taken, stat ing that the wall is in danger of collapse. The board voted to have the corporation counsel submit a written opinion on the question.
