The Reeve read the report ‘of cost of same for Garairaxa and Ummbton streets, received from A. W. Connor & Co., who made a tree pre- liminary estimate last month. On Lambton street. trom Kincardine st. (Mrs. McGlrr's home) to the Furni- ture factory, the total coat would be $21,094.90. The central 20 feet are paid for in Provincial and Co. grants which would amount to $14,624.90. in residential parts of street paw-- 'ment is 24 feet wide, and business part 40 feet wide. This leaves bal- ance of $6,470 to be financed by town. A frontage tax of 19c per it for 20 years would be levied on burr lness property and 5 Hit: a foot in residential section. raising $4536 of; amount.
