The Street Committee reported that to date 1917 feet of sewer and cellar pipe had been laid at a cost of $1.22 per foot. Part of the cost should be charg- ed to the full work and the worst part of work had been completed and the cost per foot in future would be lower.

The Com- mittee had also followed the precedent sat by the Committees of previous years and had engaged Clerk Graves as In- spector. For this action the Commit- tee had been taken to task by Mayor Irwin. The Committee asked for the approval or disapproval of Council in this matter and also wished to know if Clerk Groves be continued in his office as Inspector. Moved by Couns. Young and Elliott, that this Council approve of the action os the Committee in engaging Clerk Groves as Inspector on sewers and that he be retained until the completion of the work. Couns. Bell and Patterson expressed themselves as opposed to the motion and Clerk Groves intimated that he would not again act as Inspector and on his request the motion was with. dr'awn.
