Alderman Ruffe presented a comminu- 
tion in reference to the sidewalk on 
Summer street between Willow and Bea- 
con stroets next to the Ward well estate. 
The sidewalk is from 12 to IS inches 
above the level of tlie street, and by 
lowering it and cutting down the trees 
some, three feet additional width would 
be afforded the street at this point. This 
was signed by Dr. Alvah Hovey, E II. 
Mason, F. II. Butts, L. Loving Brooks 
and 25 or 30 others. 

Accompanying tho petition was 
letter from E. C. Dudley and E. A. Shaw, 
owners of the abutting property, stating 
their willingness to set out new shade 
trees along the portion of tbe street re- 
ferred to. 

Alderman Roffe said that petitions for 
this work had been presented to tbe city 
council before, ouce last year and the 
year before, but he understood no 
answer had ever been given tbera. They 
wanted some recognition this time either 
favorable or otherwise. He moved its 
reference to the highway committee. 

Alderman Bothfeld said the matter 
came before the highway committee last 
year, but it seemed that the owuers of 
the abutting property bad lowered the 
grade of their land leaving the walk in 
its present condition and the city did not 
think it wise to go to the expeuse of 
lowering the sidewalk to suit the own- 
ers. 

Alderman Roffe said he was told that 
Mr. Noyes, wheu city eugineer, recom- 
mended that the grade of the land be 
lowered when approached by the own- 
ers for bis advice. 

The matter was then referred.
