Doings of the City Council at the 27th Session
At the 27th city council session all members were present except Alderman Hunter. The recorder presented tax figures for lots donated to the city by Holbrook and the city dock lots, and the city attorney was told to pursue adjustments. Debates over cement walks on Richmond street reflected differing views on cost versus cleanliness and value. Gravel unloading on the dock was denied due to safety and structural concerns. Multiple accounts and purse items were authorized for payment. The council discussed housing the city auto, hiring crews for piling at the city dock, and street improvements on Pittburg and other streets, with a committee appointed to address Burlington and Headford Street obstructions.
