THE KERR PAVEMENT.
The council few nights ago ordered a
delay in the work of laying the pavement
ON Sixth street near the Hotel Ryan. so as
to give the Kerr pavement men an oppor-
tunlty to put down their pavement from
Robert to Jackson on Sixth. This was
objected to by the property owners who
had a meeting with the mavor Yesterday
afternoon and talked the matter over. The
result was that the mayor did not sign the
resolution of the council but sent it back to
that body last evening with COM
munication in which he recited the
facts and gave his reasons for not
signing it. When the matter was brought
up last evening in the council. Judge Mel
son, Judge Hale and Commodore Davidson
appeared before the council and stated their
objections. They thought that if the Kerr
pavement men had the privilege of experi-
mentirg on Robert street that ought to be
enough. Judge Hale made a proposition
to this effect; that if the Kerr pavement
men would lay their pavement on jackson.
between Third and Fourth, he owning one
side of that block, and Col. Allen owning a
part of the other would agree to it, and he
had no doubt that Mr.. Gilfllan, who owns
nearly all the rest, would also agree The
result was that the council reconsidered its
action and the whole matter. so far as Sixth
street is concerned, stands Just as il did be-
fore the council touched it.
