Village Trustees
There were several visitors at the meeting of the Village Board of Trus¬ tees, Friday evening, when all the members were present.
One of the important matters that came up was the application of Vil¬ lage Trustee Charles A. Sigmond for a license for his new opera house on South Main Street.
J.I). Kief>r appeared regarding this matter, as chairman of a 'couimittee which he said the Board of Trade had appointed at their last meeting, to in¬ vestigate the charge that this building was unsafe. He reported that the committee had called upon Trustee Sig¬ mond and e.xamiiied the plans and was assured by him that the building would . be erected according to the plans and specifications and that the building would be passed as safe by the archi¬ tect, when completed. Trustee Sig¬ mond in his application stated also that tho building would i)e absolutely safe especially from fire; that there would be .seven exits beside twelve windows that are only five feet from the ground; three fire hydrants with fifty feet of hose at each and he would supply his own firemen and officers and al.so the picture machine box would be absolutely fire proof. President .Mor¬ rison assured Mr. Kiefer that the Board realized their responsibility in a mat¬ ter of this kind and would give it proper consideration. They also have two efficient fire wardens to inspect all new buildings; it was the opinion of the Board that the building wa.s as safe as it could be made and it was voted to grant the license. The mat¬ ter of fixing price for same was laid over until the next meeting.
The condition of the granitoid side¬ walks in front of the Manhattan House and Henry Harms' store building on South Main Street was also discu.s.sed. Stephen P. Pettit, whose ofiice is on a portion of the Manhattan House property complained of th'^ dangerous condition existing. Thi .sidewalk in front of the Harms liuiiding was con¬ structed !--eyeral years ago, while the other was laid within the past two years and according to the village en¬ gineer's grade. The two sidewalks are nearly a foot ajiart. Harms' side walk being the highesi.. To prevent a direct drop of this space the place was filled'in vvitli dirt to make a gentle slope. During the past few days the snow and ice !iav<; caused the slope to become very dimgerous and several Iier.sons have f>'il, but fortunately none have been seriously injured. Trustee Sigmond stated that he had taken up the matter with Mr. Harms several times but as yet I'lotliing had been done. The matter of a probable suit against the village if anyone was injured was wrought up and one of the members of the Board suggested that the village would be better oil" to stand the chance of a suit from .Mr. Harms for tearing up the sidewalk than to stand one from some pedestrian that might be injured. The matter was placed in the hands of the Street Committee and the Counsel for the Board to take immediate action.
Girdell V. Brower, superintendent of the Brooklyn Water Department in this vicinity, requested the Board to allow the Department of Water Supply, Gas and p]lectricity of the City of New York to change the grades of Brookside Avenue and Newton Boulevard. He explained the matter in detail to the Board and it was referred to the High¬ way committee to report back at the next meeting.
Stephen P. Pettit of the Freeport Amusement Company, asked permission to Hood the old ball grounds with vil¬ lage water should the weather be sufficiently cold to make a skating rink there. The application was placed in the hand.s ofthe Water Committee with power.     ,
A rirjwrt was [received from tlie H utford Steam Boiler In.-^uraiic' Company that Boiler No. 1 hail ex¬ ternally been found in good condition and the steam gauge correct.
Application^ for water and electric light were granted aa follows: Light, Lewis J. Hall, South Side ,\venue; Ernest S, Randall, Russell Place; Southard & .Moore, West Merrick Road ; Charles A Sigmond, South Main Street and John W. Otten, Church Street and Railroad Avenue. Water, Mary Be¬ dell and Henry Randall, .South Side Avenue; and Charles A. Sigmond, South Main Street.
