CURB AND GUTTER STONES.
The committee on paving reported back
the matter of the petition of J. H. Nevins
asking that he be awarded the contract for
10000 feet of curb and gutter stones. The
committee reported that in their opinion the
matter had been disposed of in awarding the
contract to Martin Ring for Mankato stone,
and that there is not the slightest grounds
for Mr.. Nevin's claim the report was
adopted.
| Mr.. Nevins being present and having the
privilege of the floor stated that he had made
| the lowest bid and the contract had been
awarded to the highest bidder. Aid. Walsh
| thought the paving committee had been in
suited and asked the council to settle the
matter without referring it back to the COM
mittee. The whole question, nevertheless,
went back to the com mittee.
CHANGING PRECINCTS.
Aid. Hashow brought up the matter of
changing the electi on pr ecincts in the Third
ward and Offered a resolution establishing
boundary lines and giving five precincts in
| stead of two as at present.
The city engineer was authorized to confer
with property owners with view to securing
right to carry garbage and rubbish to the
river below the lower bridge on either side.
He was also instructed to confer with the
officers of the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
railway with a view to having the bridge
| across Washington avenue made water tight.
He was also instructed to advertise for
| proposals for grading the approaches to the
Third street bridge across Bassett's creek.
EIGHTH WARD PRECINCTS.
Upon motion of Aid. Cooley the Eighth
ward was given an additional precinct as
follows: The First precinct, all that portion
of said ward lying east of Stevens avenue;
Second precinct all that portion lying be-
tween Lyndale avenue and Stevens avenue;
Third precinct, all that portion of the
ward lying west of Lyndale avenue
The curb and gutter stone ques-
ton proved bone Of con-
tention. 1t was brought up again by a
motion introduced by Aid. Johnson to the
| effect that it be the sense of the council that
| North river blue stone be used for curb and
gutter stone. Aid Hashow had been told by
| contractors in Eastern cities that blue stone
has proven failure wherever tried for curb
and gutter purposes, in that it would disin-
| tegrate when placed on edge, al
though it makes good fagstone for
sidewalks. Engineer Rinker gave his
| opinion of the various stones under consid-
Grafton and pronounced the blue stone as
next to granite, which is tn chest. He thought
| the Mankato stone worth fully eight or ten
cents more foot than the Iowa stone. The
motion was referred to the city engineer and
| the committee on paving.
warrant was ordered drawn in favor of
| Emerson Cole for $3.50 for money advanced
the Fourth ward fund, and one in favor of
| II. c. Morse for S405 for the same purpose,
and warrant for S306 in favor of the City
| bank for money advanced the Sixth ward
| fund.

additional room in the Loring block.
