Grove Hill passed That place at least two years ago and just enough work has been done on it to make it passable while other streets, not as far worn out, were more ex- tensively repaired. The board in its budget, recommended a reinforced concrete pavement costing at least $2.75 per square yard for this street, but an apprépriation for such a pave+ ment was refused.

Officials of the American Hotels Corporation, a subsidiary of the United Hotel Corporation and mem- bers of the board of directors of the Elihu Burritt Hotel Corporation, were in cenference this morning the result of which, as announced by John C. Loomis, president of the Commercial Trust Co, was that a contract was signed and handed over to the direc- tors of the local hostelry whereby the American Hotel Corporation will take over the management of the hotel for a period of 30 years. Mr. Damon, who is president of. the corporation, and Mr, Wiegand, vice-president of the larger organization, the United Hotels corporation, are members of the board of directors of the Elihu Burritt Corporation. The building, it is expected, will be opened by January 1, 1924, and the managément of it will be then given into the hands of the corporation which will assume full control of the building proper. Mr. l.oomis stated further, that the only profit which the American Hotel people will get out of the New Brit- ain establishmént will be through div- idends on the common stock. He con- siders this one of the best criterions that the hotel will be an excellent return on money invested, because the preferred stock holders will reeeh-o] their dividends before the holders of common stock.

An equivalent to this amount, the board has been able to save by not filling the positions of assistant engineer, draftsman and chainman in the engincering department, which positions are now vacant. The re- mainder of the total reported to the council is the amount whith would be required to reshape the present macadam, which amount must be spent on the street this season, to make temporary repairs. The time required for such repairs is also saved to the city's forces, for work on other streets. For many of the strects suggested and reported to this board as in need of repairs, there has been no provision in the esti- mates of the board or in the budget allowance. These can only be taken care of as fast as the repair gang can get alonfi with one roller that is equip- ped with a scarifier, There are suf- ficient funds still available to carry out the work laid out in the board's estimates of last winter unless emer- gencies require other expenditurs, “Respectfully submitted, “Board of Public Works, “Thomas W.
