The Hoard-of Works brought in a report at l.M night's council meeting recommending that the1 cily engineer be instructed ' to! rush surveys .-mil pslimnlos fur: ceeding 82,500 to repair tho plank roads. Doth reports were adopted. The seriousness of the sit na tion with regard to the nlank roads was brought up and dis cussed at last week's council meeting. The matter was refer red to Ihe two committees for olutiou and the foregoing re ports were the result. It is the plan to keep further expenditure! on plank roads down lo a mini-1 inuni for the balance of the year ! road repairs. Use Old Lumber In View of the fact that there was little money available for further plank road repairs, Aid. pen.y asked authorization of tin- 'ouucil for the taking up of the plank roadways on lale Street between Vanarsdol and Seven teenth Streets and on Highlh Avenue to Seal Cove beyond llio! school (after the Seventh Ave-j nue connection to Seal Cove is completed) so that the old luni-l her might be used in other places where necessary. Mil. Casey objected lo the trestle work at the end of Highlh Avenue being taken ur at this time. It was still in fairly good condition and had not pass ed its lifetime. He was of the opinion that the Eighth Avenue! connection to Seal Cove should: be retained until such lime us' there was a connection from the! end of Eighth Avenue to Seventh i Avenue. It would be a great jn-1 convenience to the lravel!iiig public if it became necessary toj make Ihe long detour from i Eighth Avenue East via Hays Cove Avenue lo reach Seal Cove. Aid. Perry was willing to keep this pari of the slreet open if it were possible and if repairs lo if. were nol necessary. , Aid. Collar! was opposed lo further expenditure on the Ires- He work jn question. The mayor, understood thai, when Seventh j Avenue was conlplefed, Eighth, was to be discarded. Loads are Limited Aid.
