to know the possibilities of the Village paving the alleyway in
i
the rear of his residence, said-. alleyway being public property,
gro auyton offered to stand the cost of oiling and sanding if the
Village would stand the cost of scarifying, putting in necessary
• rock, rolling and bonding. It was brought out that should the r
• Village agree to this one regnest, it might be requested to do
similar work in various other places and it would be a question
if the Village could afford it. The village manager was therefore

Relief- Committee was discussed. The Mayor mentioned the fact that
• the committee was not allowed to furnish anything in the way of
material or tools and if tools were to be required for the work
that was to be done in the Village, that the Village would have
to provide them. The Council then authorized the Village Manager
