such material as went through the store room of

return these bills to the plant for correction.
Mayor Walterman suggested that we have the signs
in the one way alleys repainted so that there would
be no excuse for any one driving the wrong way in
these alleys .
Councilman Snavely made the suggestion, ( through
the Clerk) , that the curb in front of the Tivoli
90
Theatre be repainted insomuch as he had seen a
car tagged for improper parking at this place
and on investigation found that paint was so
worn and faded on this curb that it was almost I/
impossible to tell that it was a yellow curb,
the Board ordered this matter attended to.

Company as follows;

inance the Board was able to let this contract
