HI tft I SESS103 The board of aldermen are holding a called meeting this afternoon relative to the open in of Kcott Street;, a piece f work ordered by the old Board of Aldermen before their office expired. , The City Manager is of the Opinion that the work as now leing undertaken will not prove satisfactory. The meeting of thft aldermen was called for this afternoon that their atten tion might be brought to defects in the present plans before it is too late to remedv them. It is not understood that any opposition has developed to the owning up of this street which will involve considerable expense on account of the fact that it is to be constructed over a small stream for a con siiderable distance; bjut no de finite plans or specifications were provided the contractor for this work and it is the city manager's idea that the contractors pmns should be changed.
