Attorney Louis Gramer spoke for Terrace street property owners appealing to the select council about church furnace room excavation on the easterly side. They claim the work encroaches ten to eleven feet on the roadway and seek a sidewalk line by ordinance to prevent a precedent. TY. C. Robinson represented the church and pledged not to infringe on others rights if there is an encroachment, otherwise work would stop. The matter was referred to the street committee. Other items included selling a stone crusher to T. B. Howe, permitting Samuel Smale to sewer connect on Terrace street, and ordering a Seventh avenue profile between Washington and Park streets.
