On the suggestion of Mr.. Glaze the follow
ing communication was read and received:
To the Mayor and Council of the City of Wichita,
Kan:
Gentlemen-Havinga company formed
city of a plant for the manufacture of all
kinds of brick and tile, we believe if the
council will give us reasonable time to
perfect our arrangements and verify eX-
periments already made with our clay in
making paving brick, that at the end OF
say ten days, by which time it is possible
some plan of adjustment may have been
reached with the street car company, we
will be able to submit proposition here
by which such a plant can be secured and
our streets paved with vitrified brick at
cost of from one-third to one-half less than
with any other material now contem-
plated. and the money thus Judiciously ex-
pended will all be disbursed among our
own community. Respectfully submitted,
S. Z. JoCELYN,
w. NJ. BERRING.
A resolution to pave Main street with
the Fort Collins sand stone was offered
and carried The Iineal feet on Main from
Lewis to Park number IL, $50. The feet in
favor of asphaltum number 6,6l6. The
balance of 1874 is divided among other
payements. Mr.. Downing stated that the
asphaltum majority was 992 feet not
counting the lineal feet in the intersec-
tions.
a motion to award the contract to Null
vane and kepley, they being the only and
lowest bidders on Fort Collins sandstone,
was offered and carried. The motion does
not include grading.
Mr. Collins said his vote was guided by
the engineers statement that the Fort
Collins sandstone was the best pavement.
The engineer said he had been misunder-
stood and he had passed no judgment on
the samples of stone before the council at
the moment because he had not seen the
samples before.
On motion the grading was let to Collins
F. Newton for % cents. On motion is was
decided to pave First street between Market
and Main with asphalt, and the contract
was awarded to the Barber asphalt paving
company at $3.50.
Some of the members were under the
impression that the council could not le-
gally let contract in executive session.
On motion bids for curbing First from
Main to Market and Main street were
opened and read, as follows:
JAMES L. FLOWER,
Main street from Park to Lewis, artifi-
cial stone; SIC.
Ct. W. SUMPTION,
Main and First street from Main to Mar
ket; SIC.
A resolution to award the curbing con-
tract for Main and First streets for 40
cents to Riley & Co. was offered and car
ried.
Messrs. J. C. Redfield, w. A. Reed and
John Vandine were appointed appraisers
and confirmed.
No further business coming up the Coun-
ell went into open session and adjourned.
