by a letter that was received from the
company In response to one that had
been sent to it from thi city asking for
? renewel of the telephone in the fir?
house on Sixth avenue, *hich works
imperfectly. The company conveyed
the information to the oity that hare
after the charges for telephones to the
city would ba |3 per month, each, th#
minimum price for residence service.
Heretofore the city has been getting
four phones for $10 per month. The

that the present, when the river is cov

public property was authorized to clean
the snow from street crossings and in
