Mayor Blanton wus Hie only official
absent during the meeting of the Joint
Board and Konrd of Aldermen yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Gudger attended but
left about 4 o'clock, intending to go to
Marshall on the afternoon train (the
only train west, in fact.) He reached
the depot just in time to sec the last car
of the train disappear. Then lie returned
to the council chamber.
It was all discussions that is,
very nearly nil. Mr. Gudger was called
to the chair, but even he could not keep
down the random talk indulged in by
everybody.
Mr. Cumniings called attention to
Bailey street's urgent need of a sidewalk.
The old plank walk, he said, was poor
but it was better than mud. City Kngi
neer Lcc said he was not so sure about
that, as some of the property owners
had taken up portions of the walk, de
claring it unsafe for pedestrianism. No
action.
Tlie Old, Old Story.
A. R, liskiidgc, of the brick paving
mi, informed the Board that all of the
necessary crushed stone bad been spread
on South Main sired, and he would like
to receive instructions as to his next scat
of operations. This brought up the same
old street railway question that the
Board takes up and musses with every
week. Mr. Williams made a motion in
effect that the city stop all suits against
the Street Railway company nnd waive
the 18-inch paving clause; the company
to stop all suits against the city, and
pay for the paving

work, when a meeting should be called
to consider the matter at once. Mr.
Gudger made a vigorous protest against
anything of the kind, because bethought
Mr. Maddux should be the one to make
a proposition. He did not think it "dig
nified" for the Board to make a prr posi
tion to a man who should make the
proposition to the Board. It was Mr.
Gudger, it will be remembered, who
some months ago thought the Commer
cial club "disrespectful" to the Board.
Capt. Carter, replying to Mr. Gudger said
ttiat this was not a time to stand
back upon "dignity," when cold weather
was coming on and paving almost stop
ped. He then, for Mr. Maddux, asked
ior the appointment of the committee as
contemplated. Mr. Maddux came in a
lew minutes later and took a sent out
side of the railing. Mr. St a rues with
drew his motion, there were some more
minutes of jawing nnd then Mr. Starne3
renewed htB motion and it was adopted
that a committee should be appointed
to confer with Mr. Maddux aud report
to a special meeting Saturday at 4- p. m.
The committee: Messrs. Gudger, Stames,
Cumniings, Miller.
And then the lioard, weary alter the
day's work, adjourned and groped its
way down the dark stairway to the
street.

are neat, clean and stylish,

to close out every hat at a

cialty also of umbrellas
traveling bags and trunks
between its
rails cither in cash or re.
reiver's certificates. Seconded by Mr,
Hunt. Mr. Stnrnes offered a substitute
to this motion, uroviiiinii that the con
tractors should pave the eighteen inches
on either side ol the track on aoutli Main
street between Soutliside avenue and the
Swaunanoa hotel. Itut this substitute
was ruled by the chair to be out of order,
as not germane. 1 here was a prolonged
discussion on the motion. Superintenilenl
itton was present and said he was
sure Receiver Maddux would be glad to
come to a settlement of the question, und
put the I'atton avenue track in good
repair, so that it might be ready for the
contractors when they begin the paving
of the avenue.
II itt Killed.
The question of the adoption of Mr
William's motion then came up, resulting
in this vote: Aves, llcardcn, Green, Wil
liams, Hunt and Miller; nays, Cum
mings, McDowell, Stames, Leonard
iairil. There being a tie, Acting Mayor
Gudger voted no, and the motion was
killed.
Mr. Gudger explained that if the mo
tion should be for the receiver to pay
cash for the pnving, he would change his
votr, us he did not think the Board
ought to press the company to pave the
eighteen inches on cither side of its
track. Mr. Stames said that the lioard
had made one proposition to Receiver
Maddux nnd that had not been an
swered. Therefore, Mr. Starncs thought,
and said, if the receiver wished to do
business in a business-like way lie should
make some response. Then there was a
general discussion.
On Oilier Bubjectn.
Here Mr. Cummiiips moved to instruct
the contractor to begin sub-grading on
the west end ol Tatton avcuc, leayinga
space wide enough for the car track aud
eighteen inches on either side, in the mid
dle of the street. No second; no action.
Mr. Hunt asked that bids for the ertc-
tion of an iron bridge on Atkm stieet
be advertised for. There wnsa question
as to whether the cost of the bridge
could be assessed against all proierty
owners on the street or not. Messrs
Miller and Cumniings had an argument
on the construction of one section of the
icl, and Mr. Miller produced the Act
showing Mr. Cumniings that be (Mr
Miller) was "up on the law some Him
self. I. G. Merriinon, esq., gave it as his
opinion that it the entire street could he
worked out the cost of t lie bridge could
be pro rated. Otherwise it would be as
sessed only against the abutting prop
erty owners. That disposed of the mat
ter, and Mr Hunt will get no bridge at
least not before next meeting.
G W. reigler complained that a heap
of dirt had lecn thrown upon bis prop
erty on Depot street by some of the con
tractors, and ne asked its removal. 1 he
Street committee was instructed to
look into the matter.
Mr. Gnyu's Idea.
Mr. Cummings resurrected his instruc
tion resolution, moving that the con
tractors be instructed to pave one side of
i'atton avenue from the West Und drug
store east. But somebody put m here
and the motion died.
W. B, Gwyn suggested that as the bad
weather was about to set in, the Board
give up all idea of paving Patton avenue
this winter and put down instead a
plank rondway twenty feet wide, which
would nil all requirements, and wmcn
could, next soring, be taken up and
placed on side streets for sidewalks,
The cost, he showed, of such a roadway
lietween Depot or Spring streets and
French Broad avenue would be compara
tively small. No action.
Fait us Out Motiev.
The Board got into a bill-paying mood
about tbis time and ordered the pay
ment of the following bills: J. D. Hen
derson, lumber, $13.80; street pay roll
$38.75; K. Ontcs, $198.9:1; Govun

$63.(2; J. D. Henderson, resetting curb
ing, $0.23.
Looks More I.Ike.
Here tne street railway matter was
taken up again. Capt. M. E. Carter
said he came as a citizen and a taxpayer
of Asheville, asking that the matter be
settled if possible. He was satisfied
that the receiver could and would pay
cash if the city would do the paving be
tween the rails. He knew that if that
matter was adjusted the paving would
not be delayed a day. Mr. Starncs
moved the appointment of a committee
to confer with Receiver Maddux and in
form tbe Mayor when it bad done it

It was very late when the Aldcrnu-u
met, and there was a great deal of impa
tience on the part of some of the mem
bers to get away. Dr. D. T. Millard,
who owns the Villa, near Tc.itville,
wanted to enter c miplaiiit against that
reservation. Mr. Gudger said it was
very late, and Dr. Millard replied that
he supposed it would not do to talk bus
iness to the Boaid when it was late.
The Board memliers discussed the sub
ject and finally adopted a motion by Mr.
Gudtrcr citing the Tcntville people to ap
pear before the lioard next Friday and
show cause whv the tents should not be
declared a nuisance and removed.
Geo. S. Powell, president of the Ashe
ville Loan, Construction and Improve
ment company, informed the lioard that
he had an application for a franchise
over West College stieet, hut would let
it no over to next Friday, owing to the
lateness of the hour.

The Joint Board's Committee
HoldHaCoiifcrence With Receiv
er Maddux, and It Cuds SatlM
factorllv. The committee appointed by the Joint
lioard yesterday afternoon held a confer
ence with Receiver Maddux, of the Ashe
ville Street Railway company, thismorn
ing. Before the committee left it was
agreed that all suits instituted by the
city and the company shall be withdrawn.
Mr. Maddux agreed to pay cash for the
paving between the rails, upon the
monthly estimate of the City Engineer.
He also said that the lines would be put
in condition, so that there would be no
lay on account of rotten ties and
stringers.
Mr. Maddux told TllE Citizen this af
ternoon that the conference had resulted
very satisfactorily. lie also said that
application would be made at once to
Judge Dick for permission to issue re
ceiver's certificates. There is no doubt
that this will be given, and when it is
the money for the paving will be raised.
As matters stand now, the railway
muddle seems practically straightened
md the people will say "AMEN !"
