 Bill Uncle Sam
 Corporation Counsel Charles S.. O'Connor advised the board to order the U. s. government billed for water supplied to Madison street property owned by the U. s. Hous- ing Corporation. The property con- sists of several houses on Madison street which were built during the World War, sold, but finally taken back on mortgage claims.

the government. But MT. O'Connor said that water rents are similar to charges for commodities, and should not be considered as taxes.
 A police officer had to quiet one member of delegation from Bar bour street, who demanded improve ments. Members of the board point ed out that the street Is not &C., cepted, and the only way permanent improvements can be given is by fil- ing a petition from the property owners for layout and grade, and payment by them of assessments. The delegates compalined that they are paying higher taxes than prop erty owners on other unaccepted streets, which are kept in better repair. The complaint was referred to the street committee.
 Transfer Asked
 The board requested the board of finance to transfer $500 for re- pairs to the support of the main pipe line from the resrvoirs of the city. When Health Officer Edward J. Godfrey recommended that steps be taken to eliminate the contam- ination of the Dye Shop brook, near 475 Watertown Avenue, the board said that plans are now being made for sewers to eliminate the situa- tion.
 Simeon Nicholas protested from a sewer assessment on his property on Pearl Lake Road saying that assess ment had already been paid on Baldwin street. The board deferred the assessment pending the com pletion of connections. Sewer as- sessments were ordered made on Baldwin street, Glenn street, Will kenda avenue, and Edin street, after hearings attended by the property owners. Many owners protested that they did not ask for the sewers
