Holmes, which includes the Holmes bios on Main street, in regard to tpe jitney drivers parking their machines on the Mam street in front of the building. Attorney Hin- man stated that on account of these machines standing in front of the building the tenants, who ran places of business, had no place that their customers could drive up to in doing their shopping. The drivers of the cars have not made themselves ob- jectionable to the tenamts and the latter wish- to be fair in the matter but some money has to be spent in fixing over the property and it is de- sired to get a place set apart for the Jitney drivers and their cat Attorney Hinman suggested that the common council set apart a place such as Rail- road street under the foot bridge, the east side of North street or part of Church street for these cars. He cited instances of other cities in regard to the matter. It was decided that the owners and tenants of the building, the jitney drivers and the street com- mittee should confer on the matter and the latter report at a meeting of the board. The reports of the various depart- ments were read and accepted. In the police department 43 arrests were made during the past month, five went to jail and one died in a cellyat the station house.

It was voted that the city should borrow 36,000 or a part there- of t odefray expenses of the city. It was also decided to install lights in the buildings at the pumping station, at a cost not to exceed $175. In discussing the necessity of ap- propriating more monex for the fire alarm system it was shown that the committee was misled by Mr. Tiffany of the Gamewell company who stated +hat the wire would cost $125 a mile. This amount was found to be a great deal to small after investigation of the matter more follv. It was shown that it would take nearer $7.000 than the 33500 appropriated by the last city meeting. It was thought that $200 would be necessary to purchase the new auxil- iarv motor. City Engineer Robert Mitchell ap- neareq at the meeting in regard to the purchase of a porcupine or road harrow for a citv use. § It was shown ¢hat a second hand machine nearlv new could be purchased for $260 which is less than half of the purchase price of a new machine.
