The paving OF Fourteenth street from Chap.

Porter patent brick block was commenced in

siderable attention yesterday, especially from

know how 1t Is going 10 work. The blocks
were picked up yesterday and measured and
subjected TO a general examination by a
large number OF gentlemen. Some though,
that the block would prove o splendid suc.
cess; others predicted that without o board
or some more Eolid foundation than merely
mill ,clnder, the pavement would soon be.
come uneven; others thought that alter.

And tho cit!zsu st.olled on.

Several persons have recently gotten the
idea into their heads that Mayor Miller ia at
logger heads with the Board OF Public Works.
This idea got abroad d few days since, after
the Council meeting al which Mayor Miller
called the attention OF Council 10 the fact
that the Board had presented to him for sis-
nature u contract calling for .000. 900 brick
blocks at SIS per thousand. Az Sixteenth
street was the only street that lad been or
dered paved, and as the estimate for that was
considerably under what was wanted for
brick alone according to the contract he was
asked to sign, he was naturally in something
Of u quandary, and asked Councils advice.
The matter was referred 10 a committee,
and that committee did not snub
the Mayor, as some OF the published reports
Of the meeting might lead one TO Auppose.
1t is true he was not thera, AZ he knew
nothing of the meeting, but his action wss
sustained in hie absence, and a new contract
prepared, which he readily signed, ss 1t only
called for blocks for the work ordered. The
Mayor was one OF the prominent citi.
z1ns composing the committee appointed 10
get the Legislature 10 So amend the c!ty's
charter that the Boards might be established,
and he has slways btea known as q friend OF
them. In his Communication to Council
about the blocks he merely stated facts and
asked advice. He vas sctusted only by a de-
gire to protect the city in that mater as In
all others, and had no Epite TO vent against
the Board, as many have believed.
