streets:-Whte street. Broadway to West Broad
way; Fifteenth street, Fourth avenue to the East
River; Twenty sixth, Twenty-seventh and Twenty
eighth streets Sixth avenue to the Hudson River;
Thirteth street, Fifth avenue to the Hudson River
Fortieth street, Madison avenue to Hudson River.
\ Mayor Hall, the first witness called, identified
the original ordinances and resolutions providing
for the paving Of said streets with the proposed
pavement; he had vetoed them, but the Common
Council had passed them over his veto; on signing
the ordinances on their final passage he had ap-
pended the following note, In order to be consist

note was read by him, as follows:-

and all swOre that they had opposed
the laying OF the pavement, and had presented
their remOnstrances to the Mayor, to the Croton
Board OF Commissioners and to the Common Coun-
cilmen before the resolutions were passed. The
Mayor promised at once to veto them, and had az
forwards done so. The Conncilmen were divided In
sentiment-some were ION the fence" others
agreed to oppose 1t and others would give salts
factory reply.
Mr. James Moore, who holds property on Twenty
sixth street, testified that he was well acquainted
in the ward, and had been foremost in opposing the
granting OF the contract and the passage OF the
resolutions, and that Mr.. Bryan, the contractor,
had intimated to him that If he kept silent the
subject his assessment would be 'fXed" all right,
which Mr.. Moore supposed to mean that it would

Mr.. Slade, OF White street, had never heard OF
any such pavement to be laid on his street until he
had read the fact In the HERALD, and he wanted to
