Alderman Baird couldn't keep order if he had it lime-locked in n ateel vault ! This fact was fnlly demonstrated at Something New Again the meetin of joint Board yesterday ' I afternoon (all Dresent except Mayor Blanton and Alderman Waddell) upon body there attendance. and which, had there been any semblance of decorum observed, might have been the most interesting meeting in months. When Mr, Baird had been called to &rVwZ I oresiilc and the rr.iru'e had been ' I i:...t PI,rV Rn1HnT. Advisor Williams submitted the report of the committee on a resorvotr site. 1 ney recommended: "That the city provide as early as practicable a reservoir on the gronnd known as the old quarry, Deionging to Patton and Sluder, and 550 feet north of the former standpipe. This site is rccotn- iloil hv rod antl r( 5f . Mnrnrfifl tix tile THAD. W. THRASH I GO., bottom of the proposed reservoir would be but nVi feet lower than the bottom of the former stand pipe, and the arrange ment of the ground, the stratification of the rock to be excavated, ana its accessi bility. We believe that the demand for a reservoir is immedia'e and urgent. It is also ureent that greater pressure should be had (in case of fire) in the city mains than can be bad in the old reser voir. In view of these tacts vour com mittee would recommend the immediate construction of a high-service reservoir upon the site suggested. Also, that tbe reservoir be not less than 120 feet long and 50 feet wide, divided by a partition wall into two nearly square compart ments, not less than 30 feet deep. This of West Cohcge and West Haywood streets with rubble be advertised for. Mr. Starncs wanted to include Sycamore, Valley, Water and Willow streets, but the opposition outvoted him. Then Mr. Gudger moved that no bids be asked until the engineer shall have re ported speci6cations as well as state ments from property owners indemnify ing the city against damages. This was carried by a rising vote, it being the first time this Board ever had anything to do with a rising vote. The street committee was instructed to find a suitable place for the tubbisb cleaned off Patton avenue by the street car company. Four poles in the street near the Glen Rock were ordered taken out today. The following bills were ordered paid : M. H. Kelly, $584; J.

A daring at tempt was made to blow up the Dal- worth distillery at Cumminsville late last evening. A trap bad been set to destroy the whole concern, and it was discovered only after a great deal of shrewd work. Under the building, in a place to be reached by high water, was a Quantity of phosphate anhydrite and nitro-el vcerine. Phosphate anhydrite explodes when it comes in contact with water.

That the reservoirs be so connected with the pumping station that the water may be pumped into both or either com partment as desired, and that the city mains be so connected that the water may be drawn from both or either com partments os may be required." The committee suggested that specifi cations and plans be submitted to the Board as early as possible. It reports that Captain T. W. Patton, who has control of the property, agrees, in event of beine unable to arrive at an agree ment as to price with the citv, to leave the adjustment to two disinterested par ties, one to be selected by each of the parties to the purchase. The motion of Advisor Hunt, to adopt the report, was carried, and there was no discussion. Cburcli Street Paving. Alderman Starnes read estimates of cost of paving Church stieet. to the Trinity Episcopal church. nd several bids for brick. The estimated cost was $3,562. There was a'lot ol talk at this point. The Board would work awhile on one motion and then on another. There were two or three motions, one of them, by Alderman Gudger, being to the effect that the city engineershall go over the street and establish the grade and secure from property owners a written statement that no damages would be nsked. This was carried, and Advisor Green moved that if tbe engineer should find that no damage would be asked, the street commitee should buy the brick of the Buncombe Brick and Tile company and do the work, which also passed. The bricks are to cost: Foundation, $7.50 a thousand; top. $10.75. Advisor Miller, for the committee, re ported on the matter of the material belonging to the city and used by the Asheville Street railway company in oavintr between the rail from the square to Bailey street.- On motion (based on the report) of Advisor Cummings the citv engineer was instructed to make and present to the Board an estimate of the material thus used. Advisor Hunt recommended that tbe Melke property on West Haywood street be sloped. Alderman McDowell and Advisor Williams were appointed to investigate the claim for damages to the property of Mrs. Duffield on West Haywood, which matter was reopened upon request of Duff Merrick, esq. Thof. R. Ransom, esq., 'or W. G. Cor nening & Son. presented a bill for $1.- 807.46. claimed as due this firm by tbe city for extra work on the streets. Tbe report of the committee, made last week, was then adopted, which practically al lows the contractors none ol tbeir claim. W.W.Jones presented a matter that Dronerlv came before the Aldermen, bat could not remain till after 6 o'clock, until which hour the Joint Board talked. T. W. Branch presented a petition from Starnes avenue proverty owners) asking that the grade of the street be not changed. Tbe plea was granted, on mo tion of Advisor Green. A RlalnK Vote I Alderman Starnes called up the report of the paving committee, which has been postponed for several meetings. There were several speeches on the question. C. E. Graham wanted a great deal of macadamizing done. He named seven teen streets that, he thought, might be macadamized, about five miles in all. and the cost would be only about $60, 000. Messrs. W. B. Gwyn, R. R. Rawls and C. T. Rawls spoke on the question. Alderman Gudger did not like the idea of contracting for so much work on the eve, as it were, of an election; he did not wish his successor to feel trammeled. Alderman Starnes remarked that if Mr. Gudger could not do the work, there were men who would. It was suggeated to Mr. Gudger that he would hold on to tbe Board until '95. but be replied that it seemed to be the sense of tbe mass meeting that an Alderman sboald serve only two vears, and almost in so many words said that be intended to resign at tbe end ol his two year, which will be in May. Alderman McDowell then moved to re ject tbe report of the committee. This was earned. Advisors Cummings and Williams left during tbe savins; discus sion, tbe former without asking to be excused. Alderman Starnes moved that bids be advertised for tor paving Haywood street and Montford avenue with brick or with rubble. Carried. Tbe city cagineer was instructed to put tbe contractors at work pa vino; Col lege street from North Mais to Oak a soon as possible. It was ordered that bids for tbe paving Ridgcly Hunt.
