The matter was referred to the board of health Mr. Saxe, Uving on east Park ave nue, asked permission to install gas pumps on & lot in that neighborhood. The permit was refused, on the theory there was not room enough for the proposged filling station.

Mr. Waltehr had a volumin-- ous report, showing the present sup-- ply, and the anticipated requirements. otehrs wanted the street in which they woere directly interested paved in separate proceedings.

After about two hours of--discussion, a motion prevailed that all the streets in the district be paved with concrete, 27 feet wide and 7 inches thick. The village engineer, W. H.
