DEMAADS I THEY RECEIVE ABOUT $6,000,000 IN WAGES A contract was awarded to the At lantic Bitulithic company at the meet ing of the board of aldermen last night for the pacing of the Biltmore road from the end of the present paving on South Main street to the Biltmore bridge. There were proposals from a number of firms for different sorts of paving but this was the only one for bitulithic. The latter paving was pre ferred by the board and the contract was Immediately awarded to the At lantic company. The roadway will have a five-inch concrete foundation and will be put in at the rate of $2.10 per square yard. With a four-inch concrete founda tion the cost would have been $2.02. It was stated at the board meeting that this Is the best figure ever pro posed by the company to a city ln this state, as the rate has run between $2.10 and $2.25, with a four-Inch con crete foundation specified. For the excavation of all earth above the top of the proposed pave ment, the Atlantic: company will charge at the rate of 35 cents per square yard, the dirt to be moved within a radius of 1.100 feet. For fur ther removal, an additional cent will be added for each 100 feet. For the excavation of all rock not remov able by pick or splow, the company will charge a rate of 80 cents a square yard. Straight four-inch curbing will be furnished and set at 45 cents per lineal foot, while the curved curbing of the same dimension will be furnish ed and placed at 50 cents a foot. In the proposal made by the com pany, the board was requested to act on It as soon as convenient, so that If awarded to them the. machinery could be immediately assembled and the work begun. The roadway to be paved will be- 4 0 feet wide and will cost approximately $45,000, It is estimated. It will be re called that the board of county com missioners voted some time ago to ap propriate $10,000 towards the under taking, the city to accept the notes of the county for Its part, each note to be for $2000 and the first to mature one year from the date of the comple tion of the Job. Nothing else of great Importance was considered at this meeting of the board, although several street matters were up for consideration. It was voted to purchase a new road ma chine but no arrangements made for such purchase. To the street commit tee was referred the complaint of the Victoria people relative to the condi tion of the Victoria road. Relative to the paving along the Biltmore road, it was voted to notify the Ashevllle Power and Light com pany as to what kind of filling will be required along the new thoroughfare. The matter of laying sewers and water mains along the road was left to the sewer and water committees.

The policemen who had been on guard at Mr. McKenna's residence testified that the women "crept stealth ily in Indian file along the side of the wall and then made a rush for the windows." One of the Vrisoners. who gave the name "Boadicea," said ln court: "I wouldn't have given much for him Mr. McKenna if we had got in side." Another nf the women said: "It is a lucky thing for you we do not shoot." All the women pleaded guilty and said they had been driven to break s Mr. McKenna's window's by "the great brutality shown to our beloved leader."
