IN BUILDING SEWERS
Stewart and Arbor Streets Will Receive Financial Assistance
Resolutions were passed by the assembly last evening appropriating $1,300 to assist in the construction of the Stewart avenue and Arbor street sewers, notwithstanding the protest of Dr. Schiffmann.
Stewart avenue property owners will receive aid in the sum of $500 and the Arbor street people get $800, providing so much is needed to bring the cost within the charter provision that prevents property being assessed for more than 25 per cent of its taxable assessed valuation for a local improvement.
Dr. Schiffmann insisted that the notice of the board of public works that it is necessary to appropriate the sums mentioned to assist in the construction of the sewers was not sufficiently specific, in that the exact amount needed was not specified. He thought all such applications should be closely investigated. He secured the support of Keller, but with seven votes in favor of the resolution they were carried, Powers having amended them so that the property must be assessed the full 25 per cent before the money appropriated can be used.
