not the duty of the Minneapolis deputy col

Aid. Glenn thinks that inasmuch as the
property owners on Washington avenue are SC
anxious to have that popular thoroughfare
paved with cedar blocks, when it is known
that cedar blocks cannot withstand the heavy
usage it would receive, these enthusiastic
property owners should be placed under bonds
to keep the paving IN repair. He didn't
think the city should be taxed with the enor.
nous expense it would surely incur.
The cigaImakers are still out on the strike.
The employers claim that the demand of the
strikers is unreasonable; that at first 1t was
mutually agreed TO settle the matter by
adopting the st. Paul schedule of prices, but
upon comparison 1t was found that the St.
Paul price was only higher than that in vogue
IN Minneapolis in one single instance, while,
on the contrary, on several grades of goods
the Minneapolis manufacturers were paying
a higher rate than the ST.. Paul manufactur-
ers. The strikers when they learned this fact
were not willing to stand by their agreement,
but held out persstently for full revision
and increase IN prices. As a result the cigar

block paving craze has been manufactured by
the newspapers, and by greedy contractors.

every instance in the experience of all cities
who have given the various paving materials
a fair and competent test, to put down cedar
blocks upon Washington avenue, over which
majority of the heaviest traffic of The city
must needs pass, would be an extravaganza
folly, and would result in disaster
And the effort made at the adjourned
meeting OF the city council on Thurs
day evening 10 "break" through a reso-
luton which would practically rescind the
original ordinance adopting granite blocks for
that purpose, met with his vigorous opposi-
ton, which resulted in the defeat of the reso-
luton. The resolution was irregular, and
was consequently ruled out of order by presi-
dent Walsh The only way in which change
in the materials to be used can
be made is to bring it before
the council in proper and legitimate form,
and by it passed. 1t must then go to
the mayor and receive his signature,
or in event Of the mayors denying his auto
graph, be passed by two-thirds vote of the
council. Then, and not until then, can Wash
ington avenue property owners experiment
with cedar blocks.
