tjon that many have asked. It is
aafe to assert that the council will
eject either bitulithic or sheet a.v
phalt, say those close to the adnv.n
iatration. The former seems to have
the preference of the majority of the
council. Bitulithic has been used ex

SALE OF BONDS DELAYED.
The European was ha, by discon
certing affairs in the bond market,
Jtad the effect of postponing the ex
tensive municipal improvements uu
thorUed by an election in Kinston
on June 23. After City Council had
rejected all offers for ,th $100,000
issue, when advertised fur, yiu were
opened in July, the administration
heads were authorized to make a
.private aale.
The officials have abandoned the
hope of selling the bonds until some
thing decisive transpires in Europe.
All proportions had been turned
down because the bidden nave ask
d Mg discount, which the city
inU ot consider.
It is probable that the lighting,
aewage and paving extensions in

be coiiced for several monraa.
The engineer is finishing his plans,
but no step may be made ror actual
work until 1915.
