| Kilbride; Hennepin and Nicollet avenues
from First street to Washington and Thiro
avenues, south from Second street to
Washington, with granite, to Brera & Young
| Nicollet from Washington to Sixth, and
Hennepin from Washington to Fourth
street, with cedar, to Watson, Perkins
Forrest. Adopted.
Resolutions were drawn to correspond
with the above contracts and adopted.
Aid. Hashow moved to substitute
granite for cedar for paving Hennipin and
Nicollet avenues, from Washington avenue
to Sixth street, and lively discussion en-
sued.
Aid. Morse, as strong granite advocate
was anxious to concede to the property
owners the choice of materials. Upon a
canvass of the two streets the people own
ing property were majority in favor OF
cedar.
Aid. Glenn advocated granite. He did
not intend to bring up the matter. If the
Fourth ward people were to pay the entire
cost, and for maintenance of the pavements
under consideration he would interpose no
objection, but a per cent. of this expense
will be borne by the citizens Of the First
ward as well.
A motion to lay on the table was lost,
and Aid. Hashow's motion to amend was
again discussed at length, Aid. Glenn, Mel
son I'D Hashow maintaining the affir1na-
tive, and Aid. Johnson, Morse and Hangar
the negative.
Aid. Watt moved the previous question
on the resolution ordering the cedar and
the president decided the question lost and
Aid. johnson moved to reconsider. When
the roll was being called, as Aid. Gienn's
name was called he rose to a point of order
and wanted to know what had
become Of Aid. Hashow's motion to amend.
The president ruled discussion out OF
order.
Aid. Glenn asked to be excused, but sew
eral aldermen insisted on his voting. Aid.
Glenn then voted "no" under protest. The
motion prevailed.
Aid. Nelson moved to lay it on the table,
but the motion was lost. II to 8.
Aid. Watt moved that the cedar block
resolution be adopted. The resolution was
lost.
Aid. Morse offered a resolution ordering
Nicollet and Hennepin avenues from Wash
ington to Sixth street paved.
Aid. Nelson moved to amend so that

II to 8.
The original motion then being before
the house, Aid. Glenn moved to amend SO
that First and Second streets, to Sixth
avenue, be added. The amendment was
lost. The previous question was called
by Aid. Morse.

Aid. Pillsbury calling Aid. Clark to the
chair, took the floor to sustain the motion.
This motion proved bone of contention,
and after a lengthy and spirited debate,

the comptroller pay into the Eighth ward
fund the $4,000 passed from Minneapolis
town to the city. Tabled.
