It was finally voted to defer second
leading until the next regular meet
ing. During the amendment piocess
C. L Weiuel offeicd an amendment
thnt the Item of $167,320 for the West
Side viaduct be for the public maiket.
It was adopted owing to the non-attention
of the West Side members.
When made acquainted with the action
they hec tired Its lcconsldeiatlou and,
after much niKumeut, Mr Wenzel
withdicvv the amendment.
When action wus about to be taken
on select council's resolution nwauliiig
to the Hutber Asphalt Paving company
the contiact for tepnlilng and lelaylug
the ilty'B asphalt puvements foi a
peilod of ten euis at $17,530 per an
num. T. K. Motils, of the Kluliteenth
waid, asked for the leading of the four
bids. After the bids hud been toad,
Mi. Mouls asked If the specifications
Included pavements now In bond. He
was unsweied In the alllimntive by
Mr. Kellei. The latter lemniked that
the bid of the Alcuttaz Paving coin
pan, ouo next lowest to the Umber
company, Involved a total expenditure
of $2.10,000 In ton vears, while the total
payments to the Barber company In
ten years would be but $176,520. Mr.
Keller said that the Alcatrar. proposal
Involved nn expenditure less than
would be the case under the Barber
proposal for only the first few yeats.
The city would save over $60,000 by
accepting the Barber proposal.
LACK OK KNOWLI'DOn.
Mr Jackson plead a lack of knowl
edge as to the details of the continct,
and to a motion previously made to
concur In select council's nwnid, of
fered an amendment that the resolution
be lefened to committee. Mi. Jackson
stnited out nearly nlone In his effort
for delay, as Mr. Keller's views weie
endorsed by Mr. Zlrlemnn. Mr Calpln
and Mr Oliver, who uiged an Imme
diate awniel.
T P Morris ciiine to Mr Jiukson's
aid and held that the annul would be
found faulty, as It provided for tepalts
to pa omenta In bond Mr. Mollis did
not seem to undeistand Mr Kellers
asset Hon that the Bather bid was a
lump sum per enr, lucottllng to the
oidlnance and udvcttlsement, nnd that,
although the Alenttaz bids would bo
the lowest during the flist few jeais,
It was $G0,000 higher than the limber
bid on u ten year basis.
The ote to adopt select council's
award wns unanimous, excepting the
one negative vote of T P. Mollis

subpoenas and the like.
The respondent hnHabout 13.000 nnnies
on his bill of partlculats. As It is to
his benefit to drag out the contest as
I0112: as he can, It Is not at all likely
that he will fall to call any gi eater
nunibei of those whose votes aie at

take aulte ns much time to the exam
