Public
Parking Mr. Fitch Stephens and three representatives

tion of this Board, for any use of the public

proper and necessary by the City Attorney.

sewer service, and reporting further stated that
it had been found that the City owns property
known as Second Street Extension and,therefore,
it would only be necessary to obtain consent
from Mr. Blostein to extend his switch across
this property and into the proposed new
Williams storage yards.
Property Reporting further the Attorney stated that
Mr. Tarbell, as Agent for Miss Williams had
Airport agreed to sell the Williams property at the

Airport property. Also that the house on this
property was at present leased, which could be
terminated on 30 day's notice, at the rate of
$15.00 per month which rental would,of course
accrue to the City. The City is also to agree

Bridge
Superintendent Feller reported that it would
be necessary to lower some water mains in connec-
tion with the new paving and it was agreed that
the expense of any radical change in grade should
be charged against the improvement, otherwise to
be borne by the Water Department.

some cases where property owners were financially
unable to replace services prior to paving he
was doing the work and would try to collect
later on.
Reporting further he stated that the
Stewart Avenue Bridge over Cascadilla Creek
had been found to be in such serious condition
that he had to close the same to vehiciular
traffic, and that inspection by Professor Burrows
disclosed the fact that it would cost about
$7,000. to repair and at the same time improve
the bridge by widening. He suggested that the
Board meet at the bridge at 5:30 P.M.,June 12th
which was agreed.
Physician,
City Superintendent Feller also suggested that
it might be wise to employ a Physician to take
ca.ro of injured workmen since the bills rendered
under the present system were extremely high.

investigate the advisability of contracting with
a Doctor to care for the City Compensation cases.

get a grade until more property owners were ready
to construct sidewalks at the same time.

for these properties.

25 feet The City Engineer brought up the matter
of exempting certain properties on Cliff Street
from the paving assessment provided they deed
25 feet to the City and reported that some of the
owners particularly Miss Faba desired to com-
promise. It was decided that this matter should
be gone over carefully and it was therefore refer-
red to the Highway Committee, City Attorney and
City Engineer for study and report.
Commissioner Evans reported that he had
been unable to see 14r. Morse in regard to the
Airport Hangars but had written him a letter and
would report on the reply at the next meeting.
Cayuga Hgts.
Water Ext. Commissioner Sawdon reported that the
Water Committee had been going over the situation
on Cayuga 13eights with particular reference to a
request of Mr. Newman to extend water beyond the
established limits, but had made no decision
in the matter and would report later.
Commissioner Hanford reported that he had
received complaints that children climbed the stairs
on the Mitchell Street standpipe and Superintend-
ent Bishop agreed to remove the ladder so that it
would be impossible to climb the tank.
Commissioner Whiting suggested that the Superintendent
investigate the time at which the City Comfort Stations
were closed and stated that he had received complaint
that the Womens Rest Room was locked early in the evening.
Attorney Treman suggested that persons who are given
Permits to open the street should be required to carry
public liability insurance to protect the City as well
as themselves.

of Mr. W.O.Kerr.
tions of
Respect
In the death of former City C1erk,Wi.O.Kerr
Ithaca has lost a loyal and faithful servant whose council
and guidance has, for many years, been a most valuable
asset.
Coming into office, as he did, at',Da, time when the
business of the City was in a chaotic state with a
miscellaneous floating indebtedness of about seventy -eight
thousand dollars, be set about to bring order out of
chaos and by his thorough going methods,his zeal and his
wide experience, he brought the business and credit of
the City of Ithaca to a state of which we are today proud.
The Charter under which we operate is, in a la.age
measure, the work of his own hands. He ha.g left as ,a
legacy an exalted example of efficiency in public office
which will be a lasting heritage to the community
in which he lived.
His kindly and courteous council will be missed
by a multitude of citizens in whose affection he held
a unique position.
Respectfully submitted.

had previously been denied the Reconstruction Home, and
further that DRr. Calkins in front of whose property part
of the proposed walk would be located, strenuously objected.
