and that the mayor be authorised to
execute a note for $5. 600. the amount
necessary according to the estimates
of City Engineer Wood. and that the
money be placed to the credit of the
water fund. This disposed of the
subject. ‘

tomary at this time of the year, to ap-
propriate $2,000 to the city sinking
fund.

and gutters about the city is progress-
ing nicely. lie was undecided wheth-
er the city owned a little piece of
sidewalk at the junction of Berkeley
street and Berkeley place and it made
some difference because a resident
had complained to him that the city
owns it and therefore should repair
its own sidewalk as well as to com--
pei property owners to repair theirs.
The matter was left with Mr. Mathels
for an investigation;
Council William ‘F‘. Lockwood. of
the sewer department, reported that a
trap‘ near the North avenue watering
trough and connecting with the sewer
is clogged. -He was delegated to In-

and also to install an incandescent
light at the corner of France street

nicr Councils to abate the tax on this
land and a similar request was made
of this Council last night by the trea-
surer of St. Paul‘s parish. Frederick
A. ilill. in writing. The Council was
undecided whether it should abate the
tax. Councilman hinthois stated cm—
nhaticully that b" did not lilink the
tax should be abated. The matter
was turned over to the administrative
department for an investigation. The
amount of the tax Is 85.78.
