Oar Smith and E. R. Sharnbroich, hold overs.
 It was estimated by the Mayor the paving could be done for 25 cents per square foot, or a cost of around $1O.O00 for paving from the Mccormack Dock to just beyond Helens Place.
 Said the Mayor in his statement to the Council
 T recommend and urge that the street committee study and consid- CT the possibility of paving a DOT ton of Front Street by day labor. there now being available a large cement mixer which can be leased or purchased. l hope this committee will give its attention particularly to this item as there is nothing that impTesses a visitor more than well kept streets.
