immediately after the filter question
had been settled at the city meeting in

prove or disapprove a resolution at the
Common Council, appropriating 8800 to
lay out Monroe street to a width of fifty-
flve feet, came up. Attorney Light, to
bring the matter. before the meeting.
moved the approval of the resolution.
Edwin Adams wanted to know the width
of the proposed street. Engineer Briggs
said it was a fifty-five foot layout, except
under the railroad bridge and at the ap-
proaches thereto, where it was sixty feet
wide.
Mr. Adams said he thoughtthc vote was
to lay but the .etreet fifty-five feet wide,
but he found that the map varied. There
was no hearing on the fifty-five foot lay-
out. Once the Council voted to make it
fifty feet wide.
Councilman lisllock said he thought
the Council had settled the matter of
width. and all other details. All that the
meeting could do was to make the appro—
