C o o o NOISIEST OF THE NOISY THE MKKTING OF THSi TWO BOARDS YESTKHDW The Joint Hoard GetH Into a l' r meiil and fur Awhile II Looks hh Tliontch the Mcrueant at arum Must be tSuuimoiicil. Mayor Blanton and every member of the joint hoard of aldermen an.i advisors, including the new ones, Ir. Williams stud Judge Orecn, attended tlie meeting in the star chamber of the city hall vcsli-rdnj afternoon a meeting that was, with out douht, the noisiest one the board has ever held. Intact, it is doubtful if the hoard cverexocricnced the like before. It was not the hoard particid.n ly that made the fuss. It seemed that every body had gone there to talk, to talk plain and to talk loud. 1 key weic com pelled to talk loud nnywnv, on account of the raclo't made by the carpenters in the other part ol the building. ""lit JulJilec Opens. The jubilee began when A. K. ivshriilgc.of the contracting firm ofWebb.l )ates, KsU ridge & Co., asked the board to arrange matters so that when the pavers began work on anv street thev would not be eternally bothered bv people who wanted to put in water and sewer connect ions, alter they, the pavers, had spread the crushed stone as in the case of 1'atton itvenue. lie said the paving of I'atton avenue was costing 25 per cent, more than it should have, bv reason of the delays to which the firm has been subjected. Thev would look to the city, he said, lor damages on this account. Two Yearn I. ale. Mr. Iiskriilgc also complained of the rapid manner in which the cars are rim over that part ot I'atton avenue now being paved, endangering the lives of his workmen. JUr. lumnungs moved Unit the clerk be instructed to insert a notice in both city papers giving property own ers notice to make water, sewer and gas connections m a reasonablu tune. Hut the motion was somehow lost in the muddle ami uohudv ever found out what became of it. Air. CummiiiL'S was free to state along this line that some people were always about two years behind the band wagon, or words U that effect. Mow Mr. Gudicer! Then Mr. Guder volunteered a little liuiitoti the subject, saving that Capt. T. D. Johnston was the cause of the delay on I atton avenue at the present time and that he was putting in the coiinec tions at his vacant lots now because he could have it done for half what he could after the paving was done Capt. Johnston entered the room about that time and addressed the board upon the vital importance ol putting in these " 1 s or connections at every 23 leet ol the main, all over the town. "What does the cost amount to, when compared to the saving to the pavement? he in terroguted. Then all of the members had a say. They got out their little books anil calculated and each one had Ins own estimate ot the cost, rangini anywhere from iflO.OOU to $ l-O.OOU. "If You Can't Io Hetler, HU al It.' Lapt. Johnston was linn m ins post tion and said the board would better spend mouev in this wav if thev li'id ti steal it. One of the members remarkci in an aside that the speaker had cost the city $200 to save himself $2.", relerrin, to the delav on I'atton avenue. Mr. Wadddl and Capt.

And after all, the matter was lelt just where it was when it was broached by Mr, Ivskridge. Lots of KlclewalUH Mr. lieardcn, for the street committee reported on the streets on which curbing and sidewalks should he put, as follow Charlotte, from Woodlin to Broad, wes side; French liroad avenue, from I'atton avenue to Haywood, west side; (, rove from I'atton avenue to I'hilhps, west side; Flint, from Haywood to Suirncs a venue, cast side; Stames avenue, from North Main to Cumberland avenue north side; Merrimon avenue, troni North Main to liroad, east side; Chest nut, from Charlotte to North Main south side; Woodtin, from North Mam to me, south side; Cherry, from North Main to Montford avenue; li:ist, from Chestnut to Hillside, east side; Spruce Irom Woodlin to College, cast side; Central avenue, from Chestnut to Wood lin, west side.

M. Smith, at $2.05 a scpiare yaid.the work to be done at once. Thin Looks I.Ike Matitl. The joint board ordered the city en gineer by resolution to notify the Ashe ville street railway company of the city's intention to pave North and South Main and Depot streets and also to notify the company that the city was ready to fur nish material lor tlie paving between the rails, at cost; also give notice that if the company does not begin paving between us rails Willi HelL'iau blocks, necorclmi; to agreement with the city, within thirty days, the company s charter shall be de clared forfeited. 1 lie resolution was simply to get the matter in precise legal shape for the step the board will take the declaring ot a lorlciture ol tlie clmr tcr. The resolution was adopted unani muusly. Small Matter. The al'eged damage to the Baird projv er on South Main strectjwas rclerred to the street committee. On motion of Mr. Wuddcll Contractor Smith was allowed to use the large sized Belgian blocks on Depot street, lietweeii Roberts street and the freight depot. The following bills were ordered paid: Kandolph-Kerr Printing company, print ing, $4-6; J. C. Brown, plumbing, $34-.12; . D. Henderson, pav roll, $35.30. MAYOR BLANTON ADMITH IT. But. Really, Did He Draw the Re cordershlp U1I17 In the regular weekly meeting of the board of aldermen yesterday afternoon, following upon that of the joint board. Mr. (judder reported that he had con sulted with Citv Attorney Cobb as to the board's authority to elect a recorder and fix the mayor's salary on liny day other than the third Monday in June. The attorney advised that a recorder could be elected at any time, but accord ing to section 2-'i7 of the citv code, the change in the mayor's salary cannot be made, as it savs this worthy's salary "shall not be diminished during his term of otliee." Home liiHide History. Mr. Stames said it was rather odd that the attorney should give such an opinion as that, wheu the bill creating a recorder and providing for fixing of, the mayor's salary had been drawn by the iltoruey and sent by lnm to tlie legisla ture lor enactment. Mavor "That's a mistake. Mr. Cobb knew nothing about the bill until it had passed the legislature. Nobody, excepting myself, knew a thing about lie bill. I drew it myscll and toolt it to (aleigh and had it passed." Mr.S'arnes ' 1 lien whv did vou put that clause in about the niavor'ssalary?" Mavor Because I thought it might he neccss.iry then. 1 don't think so now." In explanation of the city attorney's opinion, .Mr. imager saul tli.it alter tne mavor had drawn a portion ol Ins sal- iry for the term, that would fix the sul try anil it could nut be cut down. CiraciouM! Oiioth the mayor: ''Ocntlniicn, all this liscussion about the mayor's salary places me in a wry awkward position. Some people may think I am mayor of Asdicville for $1,200 a year. Well I'm not. V ju "ran cut down the salary u you like and 1 will serve just as faithfully is il 1 should get iM.-'UO. Hut 1 want you to understand the salary must re main at 5l,2UO or it snail uc Homing.' While the mayor was nursing his icerated feelings Mr. Staines Mowed, as ) 11 would say, that he did not want to Hurt anynoiiy s leinngs, out n wanted to vote on the mayor's salary il he could get a hall chance. riie uisr "i." The mayor said further that when he hew the bill l:v thought the recorder would be elected at once, but when Ac came back from Raleigh Virge Lusk and several others made such a kick that lie concluded not to elect a recorder right iwnv. Then the matter was laid aside, as stale and unprofitable, and no further reference to it was made. Mr. Waddell, however, said he would like to know what sort of way the board had ot fixing its own salary. That w.'is talked over a very little bit, and then dropped. More Sam!. Mr. Gudger read a resolution similar to that adopted by the joint board. He made n calm dignified speech, yet withal indicating very plainly the only course the city could take in the event of the failure of the street railway company to nave between the rails, llicrc is little doubt about if the authorities are go- ine to declare a forfeiture ol the charter if the street railway company doesn t pave. Tne resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. The ordinances submitted by the board of health some time ago were called up by Dr. 1. B. Mel'.raver, one of that board. The vote on adopting them on second reading was a tie ayes, wanuen, Stames, ("iiiilger; noes McDowell, l.eon ird, liainl. The mavor voted ave. The rules were then suspended and the or dinances adopted. riiertby IZanuM a Talc. T, A. Jones, esq., wanted to know w ho he should apply to to lodge a complaint against a policeman, lie w:is referred to Mr. Gudger, chairman of the police board. Only a few present knew Mr. Jones' object. A story is told in another 'column ol The Citizi-:n that will explain his meaning. The assignment ot rooms in the citv hal! to the school committee and board of health was referred to the market house committee. T. A. Jones for II. C. Hum, proposed to advance the money with which the cil v could build an iron bridge or stone culvert on Atkiu street. Kelcrred to street committee for report. Mr. liudger for the tmanee committee, said the committee would not go to see Messrs. Barnard and Martin about bill: the city owed them. It the city owed them anything it was business for them to send those bills in. Toot Your whistle. On motion of Mr. Baird the chief of police was instructed to notify street car employes on the College street car line to come to a full stop before they reach North Main street, and give warning by a whistle. The chief related that he had seen a car go from the square to Mclke's and return in 10' j minutes. Then the ordinance was ordered enforced allow ing the cars to run not over six miles an hour.

Mrs. Cleveland's Name Must Not be Used In Politics So the Frances Cleveland "Influence Clubs" Will Have to Hi-ek an. other UeHiicnatlou. Bi zzarii's Bav, Mass., July 9. Mrs. Grover Cleveland recently received a let ter from the officers of the "Frances Cleveland Influence club," of New York city, informing her that there was such an organization, and stating its pur poses. In answer to this a letter was re ceived from Mrs. Cleveland's husband, saying, in part: 'It is by no means pleasant to dissent In; in methods which sincere friends adopt when their efforts not only demonstrate their friendliness but when they also seek to subserve the public good and are, the fure, engaged in a patriotic service. It is, however, impossible for us to ipproveof the use of Mrs. Cleveland's name in the designation of clubs designed to do political work. We trust you will not undervalue our objection because it rests upon the senti ment that the name now sncred in tlie home circles as a wife and and mother may be spared in the organization and operation of clubs created to exert a political ii lluencc."
