AFTER THE CONTRACTORS
THK JOINT BOARD WAKTN
MORE PAV1NU.
Hrlvk aud stnue Favliiic Contruo
tout Notified to Appear He fore
the Board The Aldermen KiitUt
After tlie People's L., II. & P. Co.
Mayor Wanton, AUleruicn McDowell,
Starnes and liaiul and Advisors Hunt,
Scott, licarden, Cumminns, Williams
and Green were in the council room yes
terday afternoon when time for calling
the joint board to order arrived. As it
requires four aldermen to constitute a
quorum, the chief of police was dis
patched after a fourth alderman. He
soon found Mr. duller, and business
proceeded.
I'avluic Material.
The form of contract between the city
aud Webb, Gates, Iiskriiljje & Co., for
the furnishing, on the track of the Ashc
villc street railway company on l'atton
avenue, of enough material to do the
work of paving between the rails from
court place to Haywood street, was read.
Thee on tract provides that the contract
ors will furnish the material at these rates:
Kohbins pavers, $-l-.r( a thousand;
broken stone, $1.80 a cubic vard; pitch,
Jl.'-'O for 100 pounds. On motion
of Mr. Starnes the mayor was author
ized to sign the contract. This is being
done so that thestreet railway company
can have no loophole of escape when its
thirty days' notice expires. The com
pany has not uotilied the city that it is
ready to take the material at cost anil
do the paving. It seems to be the sen
timent of the board that the company
shall pay cash for the material when it
gets it.
The New York Trip.
Mr. Scott read the report of the com
mittee on the statement of which Mayor
lllajiton's New York trip bill was an
item. The report said that with the ex
ception of two items the bills were all
right. The lust of these items was the
expense of the Richmond trip. Two of
the committee, Messrs. licaiden and
Scott, thought that expense should be
borne by the general fund ol the eitv, the
board of aldermen having authorized
the trip. The remaining two members,
Messrs. Leonard and Gudger, thought
the bill was lor the joint board, aud
therefore no decision was arrived at on
this item, tin the mayor's trip item, the
committee said that it had not been able
to secure from the mayor an itemized
statement of excuses, and recommended
that the bill be not paid.
Mr. (lodger said that he had licengivcn
an itemized statement by the mayor
Friday morning, but had been too busy
in court to aitend a meeting ol the corn
mil tec to consider it. The matter was
laid over until next week, and the com
mittee continued.
(in motion of Mr. Cunimings the Aslic
ville street railway company will be no
tified to remove from streets already
graded, the dirt taken from underneath
the company's track.
Come 1 1, tieiitlemeii.
Mr. Starnes made a vigorous protest
against the general dilatoriness with
which the street paving is being done,
aud moved that the brick and granite
paving contactors be uotilied to appear
before the: board next Monday and show
cause why they should not be required
to double or even treble their paving
forces. W. T. I'cnniinan, in delending
Granite Contractor Smith, said that Mr.
Smith was at the quarry working a
large number of hands, ami getting out
blocks as rapidly as possible. When
Mr. Smith received his last payment
from the board, Mr. reuniiu.in said, la
paid olV his laborers and the last one ol
them went olV and got drunk. The
moral of this, as pointed out by Mr.
Cunimings, is. don't ask for any more
extra money from the board, aud Mr.
I'ennimau promised.
Kobert M. Funnan complained to the
board that no contracts had yet been let
lor paving cast of North Main street,
and suggested that a College street con
tract been given soon. There was a dis
cussion over the matter, but n action
was taken. )
A Statement Commit.
On motion of Mr. Scott the city clerk
was instructed to prepare a statement
of receipts and disbursement? of the im
provement fund up to the first of the
month, and have the statement ready
for the board at its meeting Monday.
The city engineer was instructed to
make his final estimate ol grading ol
l'cnot street done by W. 11. Corpening.
Mr. Starnes moved that Contractor
Corcning be put to work grading North
Main street next, but the motion receiv
ed no second.
Capt. M. J. Fagg protested against the
manner of draining Water street through
his lot on North Main, he having receiv
ed a permit for the erection of a house on
that lot. Referred to the street commit
tee and city engineer.
The following bills were ordered paid :
Kelly & Strachan, plumbing, $ Ul.40; J.
M. l'atton, drayage, $J; . A. Murdoch,
salary, $75; street pay roll, $I'.8,IS7.
thk ai.i)i;r.hi;n.
The I'eople'H Pole Company to he
Hauled I' p.
Health Officers Fletcher and Mellraycr
asked the board of aldermen, us soon us
it hud assembled, to purchase for use of
the closet cleaning corps forty patent
air-tight tubs, a sample of which was
shown to the board, and which con
vinced the members that it was a success,
Mr. Starnes moved that the bourd ol
health be authorized to make the order,
but there was no second, and the matter
was passed. Scarcity of city funds is the
only reason the tubs were not ordered.
The P. I... H. & P. Co. to the Bar!
K. M. Furmau called the board's at
tention to the fiict that no electric light
shines at the crossing of Chestnut and
Charlotte streets. This brought up com-
nlaints from all over the city, and finally
Mr. Gudger made a motion that the
1'eople's Light, heat and powcrcompnny
be notified to appear before the board
next Friday and show cause why the
company's bond for faithful performance
ol contract si ouiu not oe ucciarcQ lor-
Icited, and tne contract given to some
other firm. This was unanimously car
ried. 1
Chickens Aicaln.
H. A. Gudger presented a petition from
the hucksters in the market house, ask
ing the board to compel all peddlers of
live chickens, vegetables, etc., to sell
either in the market house.on market
ntiare or at a certain place of business.
A tmrdinniice of this character with the ad
fl'.tinnnl orovision that there shall be no
restriction upon the selling ot chickens of
one's own raising, was introduced Dy
Mr. Uaird, who a week ago voted to
put chickens out of the market house.
On the adoption of the ordinance on its
first reading there was a tie vote, Baird
and Starnes voting aye, and McDowell
and Gudger no. Mayor filaoton voted
aye, and the ordinance was adopted on
first reading. Mayor Blanton suggested
that it would lie well to suspend the
rules and adopt the ordinance on second
and final readings. That proposition,
however, was killed by McDowell and
Gudger who refused to consent to a sus
pension.
Street MatterH.
Gen. T. F Davidson, for proicrty
owners on Liberty street, asked for some
street grading and other work neces
sary to put the street in good condition.
Mr. Uaird moved that the request be
referred to the joint Btrcet committee,
but Mr. Starnes quickly icmimled Mr.
Han d that the board ol aldermen could
not fix any duties for the joint board's
committees. Gen. Davidson was referred
to the joint meeting on Monday.
The rcKrt ol the jury on Scncy street,
widening the narrow part of it to 30
feet, was read and accepted, bench's
and damages were adjudged equal by the
jury. 1 he street superintendent was in
structed to do the work toon.
That Barbarous Wire.
Thk Citizen called thcattcntion of the
board to the barb wire nuisance at the
government building, and the chief of
police was instructed to treat all alike
have it removed.
The matter of over valuation of the
dummy line for purposes of taxation
was referred to the finance committee to
report at next meeting.
J. A. Nichols, m behalf ol the clerks in
the government building, asked that the
sprinkler run as tar down l'atton ave
nue as the western end of the govern
ment building. Granted.
