Mayor Dunn Vetoed lution for Laying Stone Block Paving on Main Street—Much Other Business Tran- sacted. Commencement To the Honorable Board of Common Council, June 14 Gentlemen: 1 return herewith with- out my approval resolution 328, passed at your last regular meeting May 10, relating to the laying of a stone block pavement on Main street. If perma- nent work of this character is to be commenced, I feel that it should be begun at the natural starting point of the street in question rather than in the middle of it. If I am correct in this assumption the proper place for the work to'be started is at the junc- tion of Main and Union streets. Aside from this difference of opinion it Is a grave question whether or not the taxpavers of our city are prepared to inaugurate this expensive method of street bullding. I would therefore re- spectfully suggest that the matter be placed before a city meeting for de- termination. I return the matter to you for further consideration that the most desirable action may be taken. Respectfully submitted, DANIEL P. DUNN, Mayor. The original resolution was voted upon and there was a tie and the may- or cast the deciding vote, thereby re- Jecting the resolution. Proposed Avenue Vetoed. Another veto was relative to res- olution No. 337 for the survey of a proposed street to,be called Whiting avenue. “In my opinion said proposed street has not been placed in a suitable con- dition for its acceptance by the city, and there are not sufficient property interests involved to require its con- struction. The street has not been If We in any bank of the for you? H. C.
