Myor James O. Bailey did not send
any police appointments to the Belect
council last night. He named a num
ber of district engineers, which ap
pointments were referred to the lire
department committee for considera
tion. The only breeze during the
meeting was caused by an amendment
to the rules offered by Wade M. Finn
for the purpose of hereafter preventing
the consideration forthwith f appoint
ments by any committee alter the man
ner in which the police appointments
were reported and confirmed at the
last meeting. The rule, as it has ex
isted, was as follows:
See. 21. No nomination by the mayor or
heads of departments shall be considered
without reference to a committee unless
by consent of two-thirds of the members

The amendment proposed by Mr.

ro committee shall report on such nomi
nation sooner than next regular meeting
after they have been presented to select
council; neither shall uny motion to take
nominations Irom the hands ot u commit
tee for consideration he entertained until
the next regular meeting." .
Mr. Mnnley moved that the amend
ment lay on the table and this motion
was seconded by Mr. McCann. Mr.
Chittenden moved that it be referred
to a committee with Instructions to re
port forthwith. Mr. Manley's motion
was stated by the chair and was lost
by the following strict party vote:

inson, Manley, McCann, Burns, Frable,
Coyne. McAndrew 1ft.
Nays Boss. Finn. Thomas, Williams,

Mr. Chittenden's motion then came up
and wns carried and the matter went
to the committee for consideration.
TWO RKPORTS PRESENTED.
John K. Roche, chairman of the com
mittee on rules, presented a majority
report of an adverse nature on the
proposed amendments the adoption of
which Mr. McCann moved. It. W. Wil

A communication from City Control

matter.
HAMPTON STREET PIPE DRAIN.

at the last meeting and also that he
seconded tne motion to adopt the coirc
mittee's report. Mr. Finn denied hav
ing done so and at his request the mln
utes were corrected to set him right
on tne record or the council.
TAYLOR PULLS OUT.
Telia Matror Balloy That Ho Will Aeeepi
cniortaney or nothing.
There Is now no queltlon of Frank
Roblliig's appointment to the position
of chief of police. Joseph Taylor, the
other candidate, has pulled out and left
the field clear having realized that he
was not wanted. . , . .
In response to. a note from Mayor
'. . . ' r
Bailey, notifying him of his appoint-
merit aa a patrolman Mr. Taylor went
to the city hall yesterday morning in
company with several friends and after
long Interview with Mayor tfalley
came to the conclusion that he was not
the choice of the chief executive and
withdrew his name.
He stated to the mavor that he was a
candidate for chief of police and noth
ing else and didn't propose to give up
his position for an uncertainty. If the
mayor could not assure him that he
wa u be raised to the chieftaincy, he
said, he did not propose to do duty aa a
patrolman.
The mayor suggested as a compro
mise that he take the office of captain
and asked him to give the matter a lit
tle thought. Mr. Taylor agreed to do
this and left the office promising to
return at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
with his decision. At that hour he vis
ited the mayor and reiterated his first
statement that he was a candidate for
hlef of police or nothing and could not
Bee his way clear to accept the cap
taincy. To a Tribune reporter Mr. Taylor saiu
that when he first announced his can
didacy to Mayor Bailey he told the
mayor that he did not want tne posi
tion if the mayor was more favorably
Impressed with any other candidate.
consequently he hud no ill feeling
gainst the mayor and was still a Uetn-
ocra t.
This, however, was said for publica
tion and while it may truly voice Mr.
Taylor's sentiments. It Is common re
port, that his friends do not all reel
In a like mood. It was expected that
Mr. Taylor's resignation would be made
known to the select council lout night
and the name of John Fltzslmmons
sent In ns his successor with a view to
ultimately making the latter captain
of police. Nothing wns communicated
to council by Mayor I'.niley about me
matter, however, and Taylor's succes
sor will not be officially named until the
next meeting of select council on May
1. It Is probable that body will then
ndeavor to call a halt on the Indis
criminate removal of police olllcers
without cause if the mayor should at
tempt to make further removals as
seems highly probable.
Mr. Rob line vesterdav went on amy
under Chief Shnpeon and was assigned
to do detective work. This will allow
the chief-elect to draw pay and save
him the nrice of a natrolman's uniform.
which would not be of use to him after
une 1, when he will don tho gold
shield and velvet-euffed Prince Albert
that are so necessary to the dignity or
the chleftancy.

AVIKC MITTEE SPLIT
t Could Not Come to Any Agreement
Last Night
FOUR WASTED TIME TO THINK
Another Night of Fighting Between the
Competitors for tho Monro Avoau
Paving Contract-Exports, Lawyers
and Agents Arjuc.
Again last night the paving commit
tee of common council was besieged by
the rival bidders for the asphalting ot
Monroe avenue und again they were
bombarded with the arguments ot the
representatives of the two concerns.
Colonel Hitchcock for the Barber peo
ple, and Attorneys I. H. Burns and u .
H. Jessup. Jr., for Dunn Bros. W. V.
Watson was there to protest in the
name of a number of property holders
against experiments, and W. II. Ocar
hart presented himself as the represen
tative of another number of property
holders who wanted the Dunn bid ac
cepted. The Barber people also Had
two asphalt experts on hand, licmy J.
Kearney, of Trinidad, speelnl agent foi
the Trinidad company, which owns tne
asphalt lake, and Professor Clifford
Richardson, chief chemist of the Iturber
Asphalt company, formerly pavement
Inspector for the United States govern
ment. After listening patiently for two
hours or more to both sides, the com
mittee went Into executive session, but
after half an hours wrangling ad-
ourned without coming to a dectsltm.
At the last meeting of the committee
both sides agreed to submit samples of
the asphalt they imposed to use, so
that the committee might have them
examined by experts If saw tit. Last
night Mr. Watson announced that the
Barber people had at hand samples of
their material and experts to testify to
tnelr genulness, and asked if Dunn
Bros, were prepared to submit samples.
Mr. Jessup announced that the Dunns
had samples, but not for the Inspection
of the Barber company's experts. Their
samples would go into the possession
ot the committee.
MR. WATSON'S CONTENTION.
Mr. Watson contended that the
Dunns should satisfy the property
holders that they were going to use
pitch lake asphalt or some other proved
equally as good, or If not the bidding
should be reopened and both companies
given an opportunity of figuring on In
ferior asphalt.
Colonel Hitchcock remarked that ev
ery car load ot pitch lake asphalt sold
s accompanied by a certificate fur
nished by the Trinidad company. Jf
the Dunn people had pitch lake asphalt,
he said, they ought to have some of
those certificates and be willing to sub
mit them to the committee.
Mr. Jessup retorted by saying that
they did not have to furnish bitch lake
asphalt. Asphalt equally as good Is
permitted by the specifications, and the
Dunns would submit a sample of as
phalt that would fulfill all requirements
or they would not ask for the contract.
At this Juncture Mr. Keller, chairman
of the committee, called attention to a
clause of the specifications which reads:
"No material shall be used unless ex
amined and found satlsfaetory by the
city engineer or some one named by
him,' und expressed the opinion that
the committee. If the clause meant
what It said, was relieved from the con
sideration of the question which the
Barber people had brought up, numely
the quality of the material.
Mr. Burns in a lengthy speech. In
which he outlined the several duties of
councils, committees and city officials
in such matters contended that the only
question before the committee was
which Is the lowest responsible bidder.
He said that tho statutes exbllcltlv
direct that the contract shall be award
ed to the lowest resxnsihle bidder nnd
as tne responsibility of Dunn Brothers
had not been brought Into question
there was but one thing for the com
mittee to do and that was to decide

it is being put down and then it Is the
duty of the city engineer to make the
test, liven the opinions or wishes of
the property holders one way or the
other should not be taken Into consid
eration as they have delegated to their
legislators the power of arbitrating for
them.
BURNS' LAW FAULTY.
Mr. Watson argued that If what Mr.
Burns contended was right there was
nothing more to be said, but Mr. Bums'
law was faulty he said for at least two
courts of this county in Instances ex
actly slmtlur to this one had sustained
council's action In giving the contract
to the- highest bidder when there was a
question as to the quality of the ma
terial which the lower bidder proposed
to use. "If we ore to have land as
phalt." added Mr. Watson, "let us have
new bids and we will get the navlng
done even chearer than Dunn Brothers
propose to lo it."
Mr. Ooaihart presented a petition
from n majority of the property holders
representing 2.03', feet, which Is a ma
jority of the foot frontage, praying that
Dunn Brothers bid be accepted. Mr.
Je?sup filed a paper containing an out
line of the arguments of the Dunn peo
ple and a petition from the majority of
the property holders that Dunn Broth
ers be given the contract.
Thf two experts, Messrs. Kearney and
Rlchnrdson. each made short speeches!
for the enlightment of the committee
on asphalt matters in general and the
difference between lake and land as
phalt In particular.
It was expected that the committee
would arrive at some decision lost night
but such wns not tho case. Air. Keller
favored giving tho contract to the low
tat bidder, but tho other four members
cf the committee. Messrs. Noone, Gor
don. McGrail and Wetixcl, were non
committal and wanted to adjourn until
Thursday night, that they might think
the matter over.
