<br />STREET DEPARTMENT: Mr. Anthony Zriudzinski, Street CorT:nissioner, was present and matters
<br />j� pertaining; to his department "Here discussed.
<br />The Clerk of the Board was authorized to re -advertise for a Tractor for the Street
<br />Department, all bids having been recieved as a result of the last advertisement having
<br />j been rejected.
<br />ENGINEERING DEPARTI;IENT: Excavation bonds were approved for the Solitt Construction Com-
<br />pany and Ernest Longway. These were ordered filed.
<br />Mr. C17Tde Villiams, City Engineer, presented a copy of a letter written to Mr.
<br />A. Farabaugh, Attorney for the Ne;� York Central RailCompany, calling his attenti
<br />I( to the reco=endations of the TrL.ffic Engineer on signals for the Heade Street crossing,
<br />�) the Traffic Engineer's report and recommendations were enclosed with the letter.
<br />Mr. 1,4iilliams also submitted to the Board a report on the petition for the elimin-
<br />ation of a pond between ';Jashington and '11arshall Streets and 25th and 26th Streets. The
<br />I report in part states, ' The area is considerably lower than the established grade of th,
<br />abutting streets and would provide an ideal location for a City dunp. This would pro-
<br />vide a means -of filling the area, as rea_uested by the petitioners. However, the lots
<br />are privately owned and it is doubltful teat the o-uners would be interested in this meth
<br />od of filling their property. In addition, it is very libel- to create objections from
<br />neighboring property owners and citizens. Until the property owners in the genBral
<br />area petition for a trunk sewer on Jefferson Blvd., from 26th Street to Logan Street,
<br />the- draining; of this area will remain an impossiblity. The trunk sewer that will even-
<br />tually drain this area now terminates at 26th Street on Jefferson Blvd.' A copy of
<br />11 Mr. adilliams report was sent to iir. J. ik . !-'cCarthy.
<br />bn
<br />I� I,Ir. G. R. Robertson was present at the m;leetin- to sign the oontrL..ct for the repairs l
<br />to the Jefferson Street Bridge. The contract was signed by 1VIre Robertson and his pay=the
<br />Mr. Julius Stevens, and their certified check was then returned to there. The clerk of t
<br />j Board informed the Board that the other cer-tified checks accompanying bids on the repair
<br />4; had been returned to the unsuccessful bidders. -

<br />sented to the Board to be Down as Southmore Hei.�hts and Beacon Heights
