Among a number of minor matters
that came before the common coun-
3cil at its adjourned meeting last even- 3
ing were the following:
A petition from residents of France?
street asking that a. sewer be installed.
This was referred to the city engineer
-for investigation and report; re-
:ouests for permision to erect electric.
lsigns over the sidewalk. one at Mon-
woe and Chestnut streets. the other in
front of 116 South Main street. were
referred to Builditw Inspector Hubbeu

An invitation was received and ac-
cepted from the San Rocco Society to

Plan Changes to
-~ Electric Plant
A special meeting of the Second
District is to be called for the latter
part of this month at which timethe
electrical commisioners are to seek
authorization from the voters of the
district to proceed with changes in
the plant-ml capacity increase there.
For some time the demands on the
plant have been really gmter than
the supply, despite the additions
which were made to it within the past
tew years.
The need has grown so great that
the electrical commissioners have at
last decided that the proposition to
increase electrical capacity and to
m e the changes could ,not be de-
ferred any longer.
No date has been set (or the meet-
ing as yet, but it is expected that the
call will be published shortly.
