STREET DEPARTMENT: Mr. Anthony Zrnudzinski, Street Commissioner, was present and matters
pertaining to his department were discussed.
The Clerk of the Board was authorized to re -advertise for a Tractor for the Street
Department, all bias having been recieved as a result of the last advertisement having
I been rejected.
ENGINEERING DEPART1VIENT: Excavation bonds were approved for the Solitt Construction Com-
pany and Ernest Longway. These were ordered filed.
Mr. C11-de '+4illiams, City Engineer,_ presented a copy of a letter written to Mr.
G. A. Farabaugh, Attorney for the New York Central Railroad Company, calling his attenti � n
to the recomr_endations of the TrL-ffic Engineer on signals for the Meade Street crossing,
the Traffic Engineer's report and recommendations were enclosed with the letter.
Mr. 1JUilliams also submitted to the Board a report on the petition for the elimin-
ation_ of a pond between ',dashington and 'Marshall Stre0i6s and 25th and 26th Streets. The
report in part states, ' The area is considerably lower than the established grade of th
abutting streets and would provide an ideal location for a City durip. This would pro-
vide a means of filling the area, as requested by the petitioners. However, the lots
are privately owned and it is doub]-tful that the owners would be interested in this meth
od of filling their property. In addition, it is very lik_e17 to create objections from
neighboring property owners and citizens. Until the propert7r owners in the general
area petition for a trunk sewer on Jefferson Blvd., from 26th Street to Logan Street,
the draining of this area will remain an impossiblity. The trunk sewer that will even-
tually drain this area now terminates at 26th Street on Jefferson Blvd.' A copy of
Mr.- 'dilliams relaort zwas sent to I r. J. IT. 1--`cC2rth77-.
Mr. G. R. Robertson was present at the 1"eetin- to sign the contrL-ct for the repairs
to the Jefferson Street Bridge. The contract was signed by Mr. Robertson and his partne
I!+Ir. Julius Stevens, and their certified check was then returned to them. The clerk of t
Board informed the Board that the other certified checks accompanying bids on the repair
,I had been returned to the unsuccessful bidders.
