The Highway Commissioners Have Signed the Railroad Agreement.

New York, 1895

The highway commissioners of Jamaica held their regular weekly meeting at the Town Hall on Tuesday. Commissioner Wolff presided. Commissioner Baker was absent. Commissioner Decker reported that the amended contract between the town and the Long Island electric railway company had been signed on Saturday and filed in the county clerk's office.

It was decided that before any money is granted to the road overseers for work on Hillside avenue, west, that the secretary ascertain from the macadam road commissioners if they are going to do any work on it.

Engineer McLaughlin was instructed to make a survey of Spruce street, Woodhaven, and put in stakes so that the commissioners could know the line of the street.

The following bills were ordered paid: William D. Hendrickson, work on roads in district No. 3, from October 15 to December 20, $199.25; John H. Hendrickson, services as road overseer and material for roads in District No. 2, from March 8 to December 20, $77.19.
