Mr. A. W. Corbett appeared before the Commission and requeeted that the City take
steps to have street markers placed on all streets before the winter enamel, stat-
ing that nearly all the signs plaood by the City a few yeare no had rusted sway cr

WIDENING OF N. S. 2ND AVE.
PROM N. 34TH TO N. 36TH STREETS
Mr. Wolfe appeared before the Cemmission, stated that he understood the Oity was go-
ing to widen N . Second Avenue from N. 34th Street to N. 36th Street by taking
twenty feet off the prcperty on the Beat side of the Avenue and objected to the Oiler
condemning that much property off one aide of the Avenue. The Oily Manager etated
that he and the Director of Public; Service had decided that the best thing to do at
this time was to scarify the street to its present width, oil it and have it ready
to use for thin winter. After some discussion it was the sense cf the Commission
that it would be unadvisable to attempt to widen this Avenue et thin time and that
the intenticn of the City Teenager and Director cf Public Service to put the Avenue
in shape for traffic at elute should be carried out.

OBJEOTI
PER 0WN1R
Mr. Akin, a property ewer cn S. W. 8th Street, appeared before the Commission and
objected to the Oontraetor for City street paving removing the sidewalk in front of
his promisee and stated that he thought it was a violation of hie property rights.
Mr. Akin was told that the Otte' was in EiD way violating hie rights, that the aide -
walk cn S.W. 8th Street was a part of the street and that the Oleke was merely pre-
paring to pave the street the entire width instead of reserving part for the side-
walk. Mr. Akin insisted that he would sustain damages by reason of the widening
and was told by the Ohairman to submit a bill of the damages he thought he lied aue-
tained when the work had been completed and the matter would be thrashed out.

ded to dedicate to a width of 30 feet but the engineer had Blown a width of 36 feet

The Wood Praoh 1?urups, direct oonnected to C.#an-
oral .alee trio Company' s mo tor aff latency 70. . 10 840 .00
Shipment 100 day,
The bid cn the Wood 'Dearth Purnp is th &n1J bid that is in line with
our speeifieatione tc r thew! pumps, in that we requested bide on pumps
that would safely pates any object which would paea through a pipe or ar-
ound a e tender d elbow two inehe a lees in diameter than the diameter of
the sueticn. This was fer the purpose of eliminating the neceasity for
a screen between the storm sewer and the pump suction. Many of cur
()atoll beeins have free openings 6" in height, and any, trash that peewee
througi these openings would find ate way to the pump. The pump station
being automatic: as regards cparation, being able to do away with screens
is quite an important feature.
However, the price quoted for these pumps is double the priee quot-
ed for the standard water pumps, sc. thet I am a little doubtful whether
we should accept the bid of the McCrary Corpora tion or accept one of the
other bids and install, a meehanieally operated screen at a price which I
wculd say would aggregate 4,'2600.00 or 03000.00.
The Wcrd'a traah pumps ere -weed almost exeluoively ih New Orleane
for pumping storm Waters and sanitary sewage, and they have given very
satiefantory account of themeeives vtherever installed. I believe that
they would give us a moot eatiefaetory operating plant, and would ao re
o cramend

work 8 hardship on them if new bide were advertised for. fee City Hager submitted
