"Ward No. 2. North Main street to

"Ward No. 4. All that part ol the cit
not included in Wards Nos. 1, 2 nnd 3.'
The second section as finally adopted
is a modification of both reportsand is n
follows
"We recommend one alderman from
each ward to be nominated by the quali
Bed voters of each ward Also tw
aldermen from the city at large to lie
nominated and elected hv the city as
wbole: ik'ctious to be held annually an

be two years."
A Mayor Ever V r nl soo
The third recommend ;i ; i of the
majority report was h-1mj I'tl.fs follows:
"We rccommendthat.it s-imc lime and
place a mayor be elcctrd fr the term of
one year, or until liis successor i quali
fier! by the general vote of the city."
The fourth section tl tne majority
report was amended to read: "We rec
ommend that tbe salary of the mayor be
fixed at $500 per aunom r-nd the salary
of each alderman at $200 per annum,"
and it was adopted.
The majority report fixing the salary
of the recorder at $600 per annum was
concurred in. The minority made no
recommendation on this question.
The recommendation of the majority
abolishing the Advisory Hoard was
withdrawn.
Section 7 of the majority report, "We
recommend that Section 6 of the charter
amendment of the session of 1891 be so
amended as to allow to property owners
the same number of years lor payment of
assessments as the citv bonds have for
their maturity," was rejected.
aitttxlnK Fnnd Sect Ion Tabled.
Section 8 of the majority report said
"Whereas, section 11 of said act of
1891 has not been complied with owing
to the fact that the banks mentioned in
said section declined to accept position
therein tendered them:
"We. therefore, recommend that said
act be amended so as to require all
moneys paid to or collected by the city
by reason of any lien created by said act,
to be placed in the hands of the city
treasurer, who shall file with the Board
of Aldermen a special bond tor proper
administration of this trust, and requir
ing said treasurer to make such invest
ment of the moneys so received by him
as may be directed by an auditing com
mittee, hereinafter provided for, and to
aoolv the proceeds of such investments
to establish a sinking fund for paving off
said city bonds, and to no other pur-
oofe.
The committee offered an amendment
suggesting that the sinking fund be de
posited in the four banks ot tbe city.
Other amendments were offered, when a
motion to table the section and tbe
amendments was made and carried.
'Will Mot Divert 30,000.
Sections 0 and IO providing for the
application of $50,000 ot the street im
provement bonds for extension of water
system and for the appointment of an
auditing committee, were tabled.
Tbe; Health Board.
When section 11 was read Captain
Patton, for the majority committee,
stated that the physicians bad not been
consulted in its preparation and that his
committee understood that the minority
report met the views of the Health
Board, and the majority would accept
that report as an amendment. The report
was further amended and adopted. The
recommendation now stands:
"We recommend a Board of Health as
heretofore created, consisting of fonr
regular physicians of the city of Asbe-
ville, together witu tne mayor, city engi
neer and chairman of the finance com
mittee of tbe Board of Aldermen. The

and in no case shall their term of office
be less than two years. That all em
ployes and officers connected with the
sanitary department of the city shall be
elected by said Board of Health and that

ment and necessary for the success of the
boaid, shall be governed by the board.
And that the board shall have power to
declare and abate nuisances of what
soever kin. I or character wh;ch they
deem in their judgment to be best.
We recommend farther that the said
Board prepare a system of connections.
both of water and sewer, and submit tbe
same to tbe Board of Aldermen and
upon the adoption by said Board of
Aldermen and Sanitary Board, tbe two
Joint Boards voting together, each mem
ber having one vote, there shall be ap

Board, and to be collected from the
wner. and no building shall be permitted
to he occupied until said inspector's cer
tificate shall have been obtained and bled
with the Board."

Competitive Bidding
At tbe meeting of the Joint Board yes
terday afternoon a petii ion asking that
a rubble pavement similar to that put
down on "uxton street be ' i: i on West
Haywoon between Buxton street nnd
Woodcock's drug store. Tl.e matter
was referred to a committee. At last
night's meeting of citizens a resolution
was proposed, on winch action was de
ferred, which provides that any work
lor the citv, amounting to more tnan
$150. shall be let to contract. The idea
has gone abroad, in some quarters at
least, that the Board will at its meeting
Monday let the contract fur west May
wood street to Mr. Smith, who has
the contract for Buxton street. A
number of citizens have called at The
Citizen office today and requested that
the Board be asked, in view of the fact
that the resolution referred to is pending,
to defer action on the paving question,
or, if the work must be done, to let the
work to competitive bidding, witb well
defined specifications, so that every
property owner may know exactly what
kind ot paving be may expect ana wuai
it costs.
