Paving Contracts. The board of public works also recommend that the board be in- | structed to let contracts to the Con- necticut and Rhode Island company for paving with amesite of Arch street from the end of the permancnt paving to the bridge at an estimated cost of $5,200; Dwight street from Dwight Court to HFast street at an estimated cost of $2,100; Jubilee sireet from East to Market streets at an estimated cost of $5,700; Stan- ley street from Hartford avenue to the concrete road at Allen street at an estimated cost of $6,650. Favorable Reports Were Received. On the petition of Alonzo J. Hart ordering the property owners on the north side of Hamilton street to lay a flag or concrete walk; on the peti- tion of Joseph Sweeney to move a two-tenement house from present lo- cation at Clark and Lee street north- v to a vacant lot on Clark strect LaSalle, granting permission to move at night and not to be on the street more than one day. Concrete For Stanley Street. When the paving contracts were reached, action on the recommenda- tions of the board of public works was approved in all cases except Stanley street. Councilman Landers | registered a strong protest against using amiesite on this street. He said the pavement would not stand up with the heavy traffic and main- tained that complaints were being heard in other cities about this pave- | ment. The residents of Stanley street want concrete, satd Mr. Landers, and it would be a move in the right direc- tion as the state now has a fine piece of concrete beyond Allen street. More | might be laid by the state if the city | puts in concrete between Hartford avenue and Allen street. Mayor Quigley supplemented Mr. Landers ar- guments for concrete as did Council- | man Curtis.

The bids submitted were as follows: municiple record $2 a page; for 1,200 copies, binding $95; rostor 400 copies at $1.05 a page; report and minutes of the council 80 copies at $1.16 a page. to advance | an obvious is completed and assessment proper to be laid and the city has the power to lay such an assessment. On the other hand the property owners claim the pavement is defective, but so far as the legality of the assess- ment is concerned the assessment can he made and would be valid notwith- standing the claim that it is defec- tive. In my opinion, therefore, an assessment now laid for the work so far done on Lafayette street would Le a valid assessment and in mak- ing this statement I am nat discuss- ing the amount of the assessment, but if the assessment of $1 a foot is made after taking into consideration the amount of the pavement and if this is a fair amount to be charged to the property owners, it would be a valid assessment. The corporation coun- sel also reported that if some years later work is done on the street which will constitute not repairs but »epavement, then a further assess- ment can be laid. Reports Received, Reports were received from the following boards and formal action recommended: From the school hoard on a reso- lution that ordinances to govern mov- ing pictures be enacted by the coun- cil. From the board of compensation and assessment on the change of grade of Broad street, assessing ben- efits and damages on the north side totaling $175.95, on sewers in Burritt street from Broad street to Alden street, assessing benefits of on the construction of a sanita storm water sewer in Elm street be- tween Sevmour and Main street, all the property having boen pre- viously assessed no benefits or dam ages, referred to the council without action, abandonment of building line on the north side of Broad street from Grove street easterly 81 feet, henefits of $495 against Joseph Depczinski and Maria Wisk and damages amounting to $495 against the remaining proper- ty owner: From them hoard of health recom- mending that Winthrop street hetween Tinwood and Vance street he con- demned that a sanitary sewer may be laid to relieve present insanitary con- dition.

Prior of the public plavground commission asking that action be taken by the council to secure play- grounds, Councilman Landers moved to table to the next meeting of the council in order that Mr. Prior might appear before the council and explain just what he desires. Mr. Landers said he had talked with Mr. Prior on the matter. The later wished to learn the temper of the council on a proposal to use part of the park fund to purchase plavgrounds. Mr. Lan- ders said he told Mr. Prior that he did not believe the council would be willing to part with money appropri- ated for a specific purpose. Tt was explained that the fund was voted by a city meeting for the purchase of a park in the southern section of the city and can- not be taken for playground purposes.

The charter provisions re- lating to pavements other than ma- cadam are contained in Sections 58, 69 and 116 and I do not find that the words ‘permanent pavement” ar any similar expressions are found In the charter.
