The Street Committee of Allegheny Councils met last night, Mr. Voegtly in the chair. The following business was considered:
An ordinance was ordered changing the name of Middle alley to Race street. It was decided to report adversely to granting the petition for an extension of time of payment for opening the alley above named.
An ordinance was ordered and a committee appointed to draft one, extending the time for payment on judgments rendered against delinquents on McClure avenue.
On motion of Mr. Beadell, a sub-committee was appointed to settle the difference between the contractor and property holders on School street.
A mason employed to repair sewer drops appeared before the committee and asked that they reconsider their action in making his wages two dollars per day. This request created a lively discussion, but the committee finally dismissed the matter without action.
A request was next preferred by Contractor Gwinner that pay due him for three or four years, for work on Rolla street, be put in some tangible shape. This request developed the fact that some of the property would not pay assessments and that the street was of small consequence to the general public. This is the finding of a sub-committee appointed to investigate. The Committee had recommended a relief of a portion of the property. The matter was finally laid over again.
An ordinance for the grading and paving of Grantham street was recommended.
