Alderman Car_lpbell f s motion to approve the Prograr_1 for submission to the . Federal Engineer was not seconded and a lengthy and detailed discussion of the various pro�eets and the obligation of the City in sub: fitting such a prograr_i for approval ensued. The ;Mayor finally suggested a co_ pro::iised or preferred list containing Ite._Is 17 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Paving; Iter1s 1, 2, 3 and 5 of resurfacing, together t,rith' the Bridges and Sani*ary sewer projects thereby reduci�ig the total prograrz to X221, 575• Consideration of each individual p"Jeat failed when Alderi_ien whose terr_1s of office were about to expire declined to vote.

It was suggested that the opinion of the City Attorney on this point be secured before the projects were actually sublitted.
