<br />
<br /> An appropriation has been allowed in the ~ndget for lg13, and made available, for extend-
<br />ing Dinwiddie street southward to Harrison, and a survey of such extension shows that, if said street
<br />be extended on straight lines, there are certain properties thr$~gh which this extension is to be
<br />made which must be acquired by the ~ity; and it is, therefore, recommended that the Street Commit-
<br />tee, with the City Attorney, be authorized to take such steps as may be necessary for acquiring the
<br />prope=~rights of way for said extension.

<br /> Progress.
<br />
<br />Advisabi-lity of painting the Union Fire
<br />
<br />a cost not in excess of $20,00,
<br />H~se in the Sixth Ward.
<br />
<br /> Reqnested to push the ma~ter of .improving the Seaboard Market. Progress.
<br /> Referred by Common Council April 8th.
<br /> To report at the next meetings of Councils the number of phones needed for the Municipal Build-
<br />lng, their location and cos~.
<br /> We have investigated this matter and find that four phones are needed for convenience of
<br />the several Officers in this Building, one in the office of the Oity Clerk, one in the office of the
<br />$~nitary Inspector with connection for office 'of the Auditor~ one in the office of the City Engineer
<br />with connection for office of the Mayor, and one in offic~ of the Clerk of Court. But three of these
<br />phones only will be an additional expense, as the phone for the City Clerk's office is a free phone.
<br /> The monthly cost of these p~ones, with their connections, wOuld be ~19.00, and the cost
<br />of installing them properly throngh pipes would be $45.00. ~
<br />
<br /> It is recommended that the monthly cost of same be paid out of a special appropriation to
<br />Public Proper~y~ Department, while the ~ppropriation for installation be paid from the appropriation
<br />to the Municipal Building.
