THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1892. HOW THE BOARDS WORKED THRF.U AMD A HALF TAKEN IIP. HOl'RS The Joint Board DUcnuci Pav ing, and Decides to Begin ou Patton Avenue TM Aidermeu'ii Rod of Discipline. There was an encouraging attendance upon the meeting of the two Boards Hint ran the city and do the paving net Fri day afternoon. The meeting lasted from 3 o'clock to 6:30, 10 late that Jani tor Erwin bad to procure lumps so that the members might see whnt they were doing. Every member of the Advisory committee was present, as were all ot the Aldermen with the single exception of Mr. Gudger. When business was begun, Mr. Baird, for the finance committee, stated that the committee had not been able to make a report on the 5 per cent, request of Corpening & Son, and therefore asked further time. The limit allowed bv the Hoard is next Tuesday at 4 p. m., when a special meeting of the loiut Board ia to be held. Mr. Starnes, as a committee, reported that he had consulted W. B. Gwyn on the matter of getting rock for thecity on Sunset mountain and having it hauled down to Chestnut street on the dummy. Mr. Gwyn, he said, was willing to make a reasonable arrangement in this regard. Mr. Startles, however, thought the trou ble at the quarry, consequent upon the blasting of the rock, was past. He also reported the crusher as running regu larly. Mr, Hcnrden said the property owners on the northern portion of North Main street had agreed that they would ac cept macadam as a paving for the street from Water to Chestnut. No action was taken. Eight residents of South Main eti tioned that the regulation sidewalk be put down on the west sideof that street, from the car shed to Soulhside avenue. The street suiicrintendent was ordered to do the work as soon as possible. On motion of Mr. Hunt the sidewalks on this street will be constructed of a lavcr of three inches of crushed stone, a cat of pitch and a layer of one inch of fine crushed stone. To Pave nation Avenue. A motion affecting paving matters in any foim is always good for about an hour's discussion, so tne crowd stretched itself out to listen when Mr. Starnes made a motion that the brick contract ors be required to begin laying brick Monday morning on I'atton avenue on the south side of the street, beginning nt West Haywood, and working only on the south side. At the same time the work is to be carried on on the west side ot South Main, the object being to get hnl a street between thedepot arid the city before winter sets in. Mr. Waddell began the discussion. lie said that A. M. Smith, the granite con tractor, was ready to pave I'atton avenue with stone, and give bond to complete the work in a limited number of davs. But this was called down by Mr. Cummings, who stated that there was a petition against the use of stone on thravenue. Right b're W. B. Gwvn and Mr. Cum mings had a little tilt over a petition Mr. Gwyn had presented, asking that Patton avenue be paved as soon as pos sible. Mr. Cummings said it would do no good to read the petition, as the Board would do the paving as soon as it could. Mr. Gwvn insisted several times and finally the petition was read by Mr. Cummings, who sandwiched, as he read, such expreisions as "I concur." "I disagree there," etc. He stopped when he came to the names of the sign ers, 200 in number, and the names were not read, Mr. Williams favored Belgian block, and believed "nine out of every ten on the Board" would agree with him. He talked a little as il he would like to pave with granite over the protest of the prop erty owners. Then followed some remarks on the tardiness ol the brick contractors. May or Blanton said the city had delayed them, but Mr. Starnes told him this, which argued differently: "We hud the streets ready before the contractors were ready for work. Theyclaimed that they had a brick plant in Cleveland county, while as a matter of fact they had noth ing more than an old mud mill." Mr. Starnes said he believed the work on South Main street would move more rapidly it work wns begun on Patton avenue. He explained this by saying tnnt weit, Dates. bsknnve & Co., bad taken the Rabbins Brick company in as partner in the I'atton avenue work, and he believed that bricks were being held back (it the plant until it was settled that these contractors should get the work on f atton avenue. Capt. Natt Atkinson suggested that the Board find out what beginning worn meant, i be people wanted to see me worn Of gin and go on. Mr. Gwyn suggested that paving on Patton avenue begin at the government building instead of at the west end. Mr. Starnes made that change in his notion, nna it was carried: Ayes, Cun if.n .11 TT i. r, . mines. McDowell, Hunt. Baird. Starnes . Bearden, Leonard; nays, Green, Miller, .. waaacu, Williams. ! Ttiat Eighteen Inches) Again. A petition from South Main street res idents WAS rrnri ivWli nakrd that V. Board advertise for bids for sidewalk 'work of regulation style and concrete. It also asked that the paving be laid to the rails of the street car track. As soon aa this clause was reached the petition was laid aside and nothing further was done on the question. .. -v ; Mr. Starnes then thrust a thorn into tbe Board's side by the introduction of a resolution which declared that the nav ing now being done on South Main cau be nothing bnt a botch job on account ot tbe space left unpaved lor eighteen inches on either side of the car track; and instructing tbe contractors to pars to the rail. V ' . ', . Mr. Cummings was on bis feet fasten ter; He said b didn't think it neces sary for him to make the same speech be 1 I . . . ! 'I . ! I . unu uiauc against a similar motion ibbx week, but he went ahead and made it anyway. "We've begun the fight," he said, and we don't want to make a vir tual surreuds.'now." He told tbe Board what it may or may not have known that tbe United States Supreme court was the highest court in America. Mr- Cummings then moved to lay the rtso. lutioo on the table, but there was no second to his motion. Mr Starnes detended his resolution. He said he couldn't tulk as fluently at Mr. Cummings could, but he thought be knew a botch job when he saw it, and the way the work was going on now was nothing short of ridiculous. Mr. WadJell said the city had no right to put down a patchwork pavement and make the property owners pay for it. The Ailorno'ii opinion. City Attorney Cobb was present, and in response to a question, stated that the city's paving of the eighteen inches would not operate as n waiver of the right"of the city o compel thestreet rail way com patiy to pa v for the work. He went into an extended argument on the question, assuring the Board that the paving would lie better us it is, than to pave to the rnil and leave the space be tween the rails unpaved. With the plunk protection as at present, the water, Mr, Cobb thought, could not get under the paving, while the flow would be unob structed if the paving should be laid to the rail. Some ol the ties, too, he said, were rotten, and il the 18 inch space should be paved, the removal of those ties would necessitate the tearing up of; some of the paving. He had. along with Messrs. VV. H.Jones and C. A. Moore, thoroughly investigated the ease, and felt sure that the charge for paving the company's line could not be a first lien on the compam's property. lie asked the Hoard to wait a few davs. as Presi dent Martin is now in New York raising money and rpny do his own paving. The question of the adoption of the resolution then came up, with this re sult: Aves, Hunt. Miller, Waddell Matties; nays, luinmiiigs. .McDowell. hums. The Clerk was instructed to prepare a list of the benefits assessed hv street juries in Asheville tor years past, and re port them to the B ard. Investigate More Ilrlck. Mr. Starnes "Hoved the appointment ot a committee to examine the brick made bv the Buncombe Brick anci Tile com- ....... ,i ;.,;. t:... ..;. r..r -i,;. i. til for whiih they could be bought, offered bv Mr. Williams, A substitute, was adopted, instructing the eitv engineer to examineand report asto theadvisability of using thc-c bricks. The city engineer was instructed to have a fire plug put in on Southside nvc nuc near the planing mills. Granite Contractor Smith said he was about up to the street car tracks on De pot street, and asked if he should leave eighteen inches on either side unpaved. He was answered in the uffirmative. He then asked if he should do the same way toward the West Asheville und Sulphur Springs railway, when he reached it. He was instructed to treat both roads alike. J. H. Tucker, asked for a,smnlL,iid vahce to the Messrs." Belote. on tlicii concrete sidewalk work, while the ques-. tion of which Board should sign the notes given the contractors is being set tled. There was no action. W. B. Gwyn inquired the price the Board wanted for the improvement bonds. He had un opportunity of sell ing them outside of the United States, he thought. He was referred to the Board of Aldermen. R. R. Kawls asked if the grade on Col lege street in front of his property bad been permanently established. He wanted it cut down, but was informed that it would be left as it is now. Mr. Kawls seemed to think some personal matters enured the Board to reject his oners to do pait ol the work at his own expense. "Graceful," Don't Vnu Know. W. T. Penmman asked nn advance of $2,000 or $3,000 over theestimate of M. H. Kelly, for lat ing the pipe line. Mr. Penniman said there was about $7,000 worth of pipe on the ground ready to be laid, and it would be "a very graceful thing" for the Board to grant the request. The? Board refused to be "gracelul." On motion of Mr. Sturnes the old curbing tpken up on Haywood street was ordered pat down on tbe north side of Walnut street. ' The chief of police was instructed to notify tbe property owners on the south side of Patton avenue to put down side walks. The following bills were ordered paid : A. M. Smith, paving Depot street, $2, 519 13; M. H. Kelly, laying pipe line. l.iiM; corn 4c Iroy, curbing, $364.21; Webb, Odtes, Eskridgc & Co., paving South Main, $5,832 19; B.

Murray, s; ary, $75; jury on pipeline, $12; stree pay roll, $209.19; rock crusher pay roll $99 15. Vt bile paving bills, Mr. Miller remarked that it seemed as though the Boan! would pay any kind of a bill, without examination. THE D OP A. The LliebtlnK Contract Presented and Passed Upon.

Mr. Cruwlord, he raid, hid never made uuv such remark, and l.e Pritchard, had never attributed it to him. Mr. Pritchard also said that he had been called upon last night by a commit tee ol Hebrew citizens, who asked him if Mr. Crawford had made the statement as alleged in the Banner. Mr. Pritcbard's reply was that Mr. Crawford had not made nny such statement. He saiil he told tlu committee furtberthatalthougli he was very anxious to be elected he did not want to get in by lying and misrep resent at ion.

Going up to Mr. Clark Woody asked for his hat. It was given him and the money demanded. He protested that he had paid Mr. Beck for the hat, and as Air. Beck was not present to disprove the statement the bat was given to Woody. When Mr. Beck came in. however, it was found that the hac had not been paid for, and Patrolman Noland was put on the case.

A Good Attendance and Llvelv Discussion 0atnrdav Evening. There was a joint discussion of the is sues of the dav at tbe Democratic club meeting at Candler on Saturday even ing. Democracy was represented by Messrs. J. S. Adams and D. M. Luther, and the Prohibitionists bv Messrs. J. A. Stikcleather and W. G. Candler. The de bate was opened by Mr. Stikeleather, who advocated his cause with ability, making the regulation speech, showing the great expense, moral depravity, and destruction of vouth caused by the liquor traffic. Mr. Adams followed in a lftijthy and splendid nrgunient. He showed that while intemperance was an evil, the pro tective tariff and other legislation en acted bv the Republican party were also evils, and that as the Prohibition speak ers admitted they could accomplish nothing in the present election, the peo ple should give their support to the Democratic party, which is endeavoring to give the people rrform. The speech was a logical expounding of the qms tions at issue nnd had a very good effect upon the crowd. W. G. Candler followed in a filteen minutcs i'rohiliition speech, in which lie said practically nothing. I). M. Luther responded to Mr. Candler in a lively tilteeii-iiiinutes speech. Reg istrar Mackcv and others then made short talks. Altogether il was an en thusiastic meeting. The building in which the speaking occurred was packed.
