BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Eeconimend That the City Pay $5,000
. to Mad River Water Co. V
' The board of public works held a
meeting .yesterday afternoon, there
being 'present Mayor Kilduft', Commis
sioners Whiting, Chessau, Mahaney,
Blakeslee, Scully, Superintendent Rei
ley of the street department, Superiu
tendeut O'Brien of the bureau of
water, Engineer Cairns and City Clerk
Kyaii.
- Contractor Pidgeon appeared before
the board and asked if there were any
law denying the board the right to pay
over to hiui the live per cent retained
on his contract.-- He has a good bond
and he. thought that a sufficient guar
antee that fhe work is all right with
out holding back $700 -for live year,
an amount which represents more
. than he made out of tiie job. He said
that if 5 per cent of all a contractor's
work should be retained for tiye years
it would cripple him. unless he. had
' almost unlimited capital. No action
was taken.
In reference to the petition of James
C. hite et al for a building Jim on
North Main street from the terminus
of the' present line to Grove stivet, it
was voted to reeomiiieud to the alder
men that public necessity and conven
ience require that the. work be ordered
done. The petition of (Jeorge Hartley
for change of grade of sidewalk in
front of his premises at the c;irn r of
Vine and Cherry streets was referred
to Superintendent Rt-iley for ' investi
gation and report. The sidewalk op
posite the residence of Sarah J. Hayes
on North Main street was ivpjrted in
a sh'ameful condition, and a vote was
passed referring the matter to Air ltei
ley for investigation, with the under
standing that he ascertain the name
of the plumber who tore up the walk,
order him to repjfir it as quickly as
possible and if he refuses so to do lie
will get no more permits to open the
streets and will have his license re-
. voked. . This is one of the walks that
was torn up on account of the paving
of North Main street and was relaid
in better shape than ever before at
the expense of the city, and the board
thought it too soon to be receiving
complaints on Account of the condition
of the walk at that place and decided
to take stringent measures in the, prem
ises; The petition of the Hellmann Brew
ing Co for permission to make a con
duit in Bank street, opposite their
plant, was referred to a committee con
sisting of Superintendent Reiley and
Engineer Cairns, with instructions to
report back to the board.
A communication was received frojif
the Y. M. C A. asking for the return
of about $1T water rent, which they
considered an overcharge. Upon ex
amination the bill was found to be
correct, and it was voted to so report
to the association.
It was voted to recommend to the
aldermen that the sum of $5,000 be
.paid to the Mad River Water Co and
constituent companies in settlement of
all claims against- the city for water
taken from the Mad river by the old
water board. .
A communication was received from
the- Seoyill Manufacturing Co asking
for payment of $2,922.03, their claim
upon- the city for their portion due the
Mad River Water Co. . The communi
cation was received and ordered placed
on tile. It will be remembered tlfllt
the'Scovill Co has refused to pay their
water bill of' about $1,100, preferring
to have it go towards offsetting a part
of their claim against the city. The
board voted to request the company to
pay it taxes in the usual way. be
lieving it is the proper way to do busi
ness, aud when this matter is adjusted
let the city settle with the Mad River
Water Co. This whole thing looks as
if it will end in a big law suit, and if
It reaches the courts it would be hard
to tell where it vill end.
' All the other matters referred to the
board by the aldermen "were placed on
the list for. investigation. Another
communication was received from L..
II. Toucey regarding the condition of
the brook in the rear of his property
on East Main street. It was voted to
rite.. Mr Toucey to appear before the
. board at its next meeting to be heard
in the premises. . .
s- The city engineer was instructed to
make a contour map at five feet iuter-
. vals of Hamilton park aud to make
title searches and prepare maps for
levying assessment for sewei"s laid
during the present year. The engineer
was also instructed and authorized to
purchase a, smoke tester, at a price not
to exceed $23, for use in tho office of
the plumbing inspector. It was voted
to reednimend to the aldermen that the
matter of assessing property on streets
where paving has-been put down the
present year.be referred to the. bureau
of ; assessment. M. J. Daly's bill,
amounting to about $750; for fixing the
pumping station, was sent back for
an itemized statement.
. The payrolls of the several depart
ments were read, and approved, as. fol
lows: Streets, " $1,809.20; sewers,
$101.68; water, $1,351.58; engineering,
$528;' . " ; V
The board adjourned subject to the,
call ;of the ehair. ' .. . '..
