Chairman Aculf reported that the lior(iu.i;li engineer has jdai-ed the gr.id ' stakes on the Park avenue extension and that from LindenwoKl avenu ¦ iiurriicastward there is a two per ce^it. ase nding grade and from the crest to liuller a\'enue th'e descending grade is six per cent. Inasmnch as the ori¬ ginal plan was to take excess surface ¦-.vat-r from Lindenwold avenue uut this extension of Park avenue to the ci'eek, council did nut adojit this grado as proposed by tlie engineer, but- favors the actual grading of Park avenue, so this excess water will re¬ move itself by gravity into the creek. This will necessitate grading Park avenue, and at the deejiest point will make'a seven-fout cut, which. howo\-e,'. it is thought, will not result in any damages trom th" Alethodist church Jiroperty  nor  David  Knipe.
Edward C. Scott, reiires.uitlng the church, was present, aud favored th-; latter jilaii  of grade.
The highway committee w-as there¬ fore instruet'ed to establish a grade from Lindenwold avenue to Bull ?r avenue or to the creek to take the water from   the  lormer  jioint,  and  the
