A hearing was ordered on a petition for curbs on both sides of Smith street. g A petition from Leon Liegey on North street for the removal of trees on that street was not acted upon and he petitioner was given leave to with- draw because the trees in question are not dead. A similar petition from Frank Root on Linwood street revealed that roots of trees are tearing up the side- walk. The sidewalk will be repaired and the offending roots cut off. Following a complaint from the municipal garage commission that a car owned by the city was seen at Momauguin recently, the board will furnish a list of drivers who are per- mitted to use cars after working hours. A hearing will be given on the need of a sidewalk on the south side of Whiting street from South Main to Maple streete. It was voted to recommend to com- mon council the extension of High street from the present end north to Miller street, installation of a sewer in Jgrome street, reduction of the building line on the west end of Grove street from 10 feet to five feet, from Broad street north for about 150 feet. It was voted also to adopt a grade on Ledgecrest avenue but the proposed acceptance of the avenue was tabled.

There was a differ- enee of 24 cents between the highest and lowest bids. The board will go on a trip of in- spection next Monday, meeting at city hall at 9:30 a. m. The following letter was received from Mayor Paonessa relative to the Grove Hill paving subject: * WIhe statement of your accounts as of August 1, 1923, which has been furnished me on request, shows over- drafts of $18,718.73, in the item ‘Permanent Pavement Repair,’ and $1,413.02 in the item ‘Semi-Perma- nent Pavement Repair, making a total expenditure in excess-6f the appropriations, of $15,131.75. I un- derstand, from conversation with Mr. Williams, the city engineer that there will be further overdrafts before the cloge of the fiscal year, and there is a probability that your department will need approximately $80,000 over and ~above the appropriations made at the outset of the fiscal year. “You are undoubtedly aware that I have set forth a policy of strict adherence to the appropriations made at the outset of the fiscal year, but 1 am not so unreasonable as to de- mand that emergency needs be done without, for the sake of respecting this policy. I therefore do not criti- cize your department for expending more money than was appropriated for the two items mentioned above, all in your power to make up the deficit and where possible, to avoid over- drafts. “It is my wish that you conserve every dollar which it is possible for you to save in every branch of your department. I understand that you will have a sizeable surplus in the salaries account, because of reduc- tlons made in your engineering forces, I also understand that there will be a surplus in the permanent pavement account, when the South Main and Broad streets contracts are completed. Do you not believe, gentlemen, that it is for the best interests of the city, to save the money left over in these accounts? Every dollar saved in these accounts, and in other branches of your de- partrent, 11 reduce the deficit which you have incurred for repairs to permanent and semi-permanent pavement. “I trust that you will not proceed with work which was not ordered at the beginning of the fiscal year, sim- ply because the necessary money is available, That is not good policy in public or private business, and I strongly disapprove it. The matter of paving Grove Hill is the case in point. The board of finance and taxation refused to make an appro- priation for paving this street, just as it refused tv make appropriations for other streets, and it is my desiye that ‘you refrain from expending the amount you estimate (approximataly $6,000) on paving Grove Hill ‘“There ‘ara several streets which are in need of repairs and I believe your department should proceed gt once with the operations necessary to put them in shape before fall. Grove Hill {s one of these streets, and 1 faver a "moderate expenditure on repairs, but, as I have stated before, 1 am strongly opposed to the large expenditure you contemplate, for the reasons given."” PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bergman and family and Mrs, Anna Nasse, have re- turned from a two weeks' stay at East River, Madison, Charles G.
