Esag- Quite spirited debate took
place in Council, on Thursday evening,
in reference to granting Mr.. A. W.
Dimock permission to pave certain
streets with Nicholson pavement
Councilman Gray moved to strike out
the word Nicholson" and insert
wooden" Councilman Cowell, who is
very Jealous in behalf of his wealthy
and enterprising constituents, hoped
the amendment would not prevail.
He said gentleman, owning property
along said streets, proposed to have
them paved with pavement which he
was entirely satisfied with, and Mr..
Cowell hoped the privilege asked for
would be granted. Judge Green said
the city charter expressively forbid Civ
ing out any contracts. except to the
lowest bidder, and as the petitioner
asked that these streets might be
paved with patented article, of course
no bids could be had. He did not
know but what the Nicholson" was
as good as any other kind of pavement,
and yet it might be the poorest, and he
rather thought it was. He favored the
adoption of the amendment, on the
ground that there were q dozen differ
ent kinds of wooden pavement, and we
should be likely, by inviting bids, to
obtain better pavement at lower
price. Mr.. Cowell said the petitioner
only asked Council to legalise the lay
ing of this pavement, which would be
entirely paid for by the owners of the
property along the line of the street.
Councilman Gray felt that the adop-
ton of his amendment was necessary.
The courts, in other states, had been
appealed to and it was now difficult to
tell which was Nicholson pavement.
Besides no bids could be received, as
the charter plainly requires if certain
patented article only was ordered. 1t
was finally agreed at Mr.. Cowell's re-
quest to postpone the further consider
alton of the matter, until something
more definite could be learned in re-
gard to the matter.

Resolved, That the thanks of the city
Council are duegand hereby rendered
to the President for the able, courteous
and impartial manner In which he has
discharged the onerous duties of his
position. a..
Mr.. Wiley, who well deserved this
testimonial, spoke substantially as fol-
lows
Gentlemen Of the City Council;
When,I accepted the honorable posi-
ton as your presiding officer, ! assur-
ed you my desire and efforts should be
to serve you acceptably, facilitating, to
the best of my ability, the business of
your Board. >+
The resolution of thanks which you
have SO kindly rendered me, implies all
that / was ambitious to ACCOMPLISH for
which I most sincerely thank you. =
e Regretsing the necessity that will
cause q separation OF several Of the
members Of. this Board, whose terms
expire Tonight, yet I have no doubt
their faithful services, as well as those
who are to continue in the Council,
will, as they should be, fully apprecia-
ted by an intelligent constituency. The
duties of Councilman have become ar
duous, requiring much valuable time,
and depriving them of many comforts.
The year about closing, has been
eventful for the substantial prosperity
of our city, brought about by the wis
dom of your legislation.
Wishing each of you long life of
great happiness, again thank you for
the complimentary. resolution just
adopted
