The board of public works and a committee of three or five, with the mayor associated, will thresh out P. .1. Moran's bill amounting to approximately approxi-mately $20,500 for repairing the wood stave outlet jipc for the west side sewago system, if a resolution, introduced intro-duced by C. P. Brooks and unanimously adopted by Ihe board, is accepted in the right spirit b' the city council. The bill came up in the. board three weeks ago. Messrs. Halloran and Armstrong Arm-strong voted to allow it, but Chairman McMillan and Mr. Rooklidge vetoed against it. Mr. Brooks was absent and this loft the vote a tie. When the bill was presented again Friday evening, Mr. Brooks introduced his resolution providing for the adjustment .of the claim by Ihe board, and a committee of three or live councilmen, with the mayor associated, as' early as possible. ('hairinan McMillan and Mr. Rooklidge Rook-lidge are in favor of paving for the work authorized by the board, which consisted of the concrete reinforcement nndernijath two or three hundred feet of railway tracks, but are opposed to allowing tho rest of the bill o:i the grounds that the council and the mayor ordered the work represented by tJi-s part of tho claim and that t he '."'ntncil and tho mayor consequently ought to approve this part of the bill. Walter l?yan was placed on (he waiting wait-ing list of inspectors. |
