The board shall consist of the mayor, city engineer, secretary of the board of fire commissioners, the city attorney, one architect, one builder and one engineer. The term of the architect will be for two years, that of the builder for three years, and the engineer for one year. The question arose as to whether provision had been made in the code for the cancellation of all city char- ter provisions dealing with building activities and after a discussion, the code was referred back to the cor- poration counsel for an analysis on 1is point. It was also voted to ad- vertise the code once at least 14 days hefore the code went into ef- fect on March 1st, 1927, Progress On Pond Street Widening Councilman Charles Anderson of the street committee reported pro- >ss on the Pond street widening project. His report showed that ta date $9,110.97 of the original ap- propriation of $12,000 had already, been spent, leaving a balance of $2,« §89,03 for the completion of the work next year.

Defer Action On Edgewood St. Sewes An investigation by the sewer committee of a petition for sanitary sewer facilities on Edgewood street, dicated that this convenience wam |not required just at this time and action was deferred until a lttle later. Curtis Lane Extension The report of the street commite tee on the widening of Curtiss Lane tension and other improvements owed that the total cost for the proposed work would be $13,150. This amount, it was indicated, would be assessed against property owners benefited so that no portion of the expense would fall on the city.

Not To Lease Theater The application of the Colonial :aters, Inc, to lease the Comw ity theater in the high school uilding for vaudeville during the winter months has been unfavore bly acted upon by the board of cducation, after having considered matter for the past few days The board believes that such a lease would prohibit the use of the thee |ater for any other purpose during the term of the contract and alse that the general use of the theates would interfere to a considerable extent with high school studies. The work on the new theater, which will seat 1,800 persons, is te (Continued on Page Twenty-two) man; Mrs. Crane, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Griffith, Mrs. Griswold.
