Public school year totals show about 2000 in sales and approximately 150 dollars in weekly purchases. Summerfield lists 393.50 and a botanical garden project appears with 174 noted for instruments and woodwork. The report mentions the school week and prior week figures, with some references to India related structures.
Built on a garbled draft, the record notes the building commissioners retain authority to issue seven permits as before. It lists various proposed private and alterations projects including a garage on Corral Avenue for George Swezey, a frame barn on Linen Avenue for Abraham Slachtar, alterations to a property owned by Nusenbaum Silverman & Handelman on Main Street, fire-related alterations on Rimwood Avenue for M B Bennett, a two family house on Beachmont Avenue for fs DiSalli, a fire wall replacement on Main Street, and a private garage on Columbus Avenue near Rotary Lane. The text meanders with scattered dialogue and unrelated interjections.
Fragmented report notes a national corporation planning a site arrangement for a restaurant at 1138 Main formerly Dorsen Dry Goods, with patio work to begin next week and a New Year’s opening. The rest is chaotic dialogue about leave and a sailor joke.
