By Alderman Causer: seconded by Alderman Morrison:
WHEREAS, a communication has been received from the
Mayor on behalf of the Board of Public Works in .regard to
certain surpluses and deficits for various items as con-
tained in a communication presented to the Common Council_
by the Board of Public Works on April 2nd,1930, -more
accurate surveys, estimates and costs now being
available and
�HEREAS; at the present time it is deemed in-
advisable to erect a wa)1 on the west side of Linn Street
bridge over Cascadilla Creek, at an estimated cost of
$1,000.00, inasmuch as Cornell University has not vet
constructed a similar wall on the east side of said
bridge; and
WHEREAS,it is deemed inadvisable at the present
time to install a storm sewer in South Plain Street at an
estimated. cost of $2,600.00, inasmuch as no curb and gutter
has been constructed nor planned in South Plain Street and
it would be advisable to await the insta.11a.tion of such curb
and gutter and catch basin before constructing such storm
sew errand
WHEREAS, it is impossible at the present time
to construct a sanitary sewer for a Tioga Street line from
South Hill at an estimated .cost of $ 11,500.00, inasmuch
as the owners of certain property are unwilling to convey to
the (ity the necessary right—of—way therefor, and upon
reconsideration of the need for such sewer it does not
appear that the construction thereof at the present time
is essential; and
WHEREAS, it is deemed uneconomical to install
curb and gutter on North Meadow Street at an estimated
cost of 070n,nn, inasnuch as such. street may be paved. in
1931; and
S2
WHEREAS, it is deemed inadvisable to install
curb and gutter on Fulton Street between Meadow and
Green Streets at the present time for the reason that
such street has just been filled and it is deemed
-better to wait until such fill has settled; and
WHEREAS; it is deemed inadvisable at the present
time to spend as mush as $ 36,000 for graveling. streets
for the reason that some of the streets originally
contemplated to be graveled are in better condition
than first appeared, and other streets may be paved
within the next few years, and certain streets now paved
with brick or other pavement are deteriorating so
rapidly that it would seem more advisable to resurface
them to save than than to improve other streets with
the more temporary gravel surface; and
WHEREAS, there have arisen certain- surpluses
in various items of work already done out of the
funds raised by the issue of Series G bonds,because
work has been done or contracted for at less cost
than the original estimates therefor,
