Letters from C.G.Gillespie, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering, relating to the operation of the sewage dis- posal plant and answers thereto made by the Clerk in the interim between meetings of -the Board were ra-ad and approved. He was directed to answer the last letter from Mr. Gillespie and state that the Board had received the estimate of cost of operation from their engineer and that, though the cost was considerably in excess of their idea of the same, they would not deviate from their previous assurance that the plant would be efficiently oper- ated by competent operators. A protest against the erection of a dance pavillion on Seaton Avenue signed by forty residents of the vicinity was read and it appearing that this matter had been discussed in several of the local organizations, at the invitation of President, J.
