ANOTHER CONFERENCE.

June Estimates Today
The court house committee will meet
today to settle the June estimates. At
Saturdays meeting these estimates
could not be allowed, as the necessary
figures were not furnished. The su-
pervisors we're called on to give an idea
of what should be done by the commit
tee with reference to paying the estl-
mates. Supervisor Walker said:
"rhe committee were in quite 4
quandarv rs to what was best TO be
done. If the Construction company
are willing to pay the estimates directly
to the sub-cOntractOrs, and will give Us
the necessary orders, there Will be no
hitch in the proceedings. But we do
not expect this, and If the orders are
not given us the next thing will be TO
pay the Construction company, and IN
case they then fail to pay the men who
are really dong the work, the contract
which the county have with the COM
pany will allow of compulsory meas
ures. We are not at All anxious to
take the JOB off their hands, as you may

HOMES In JEOPARDY.
A Remonstrance Against Paving
West Fulton Street.
WILL BE ASKED 10 RECONSIDER,
Because the IaboriBg People Would bs
Compelled 90 saeTiaee lheir Prop
erty-Ihe tooaeiI VIII he AP-
psAied 10 This ISening.

The resolution which passed the
council a week ago toaight for the paw
ing Of West Fulton-st. from Front-st. TO
Straight-st., with cedar blocks, has not
met the approval of the property hold
ers. In fact il was directly against their
wishes, and this evening reconsider
alton viii probably be asked for.
The resolution was first introduced
by Aid. Mills three weeks ago, and at
the time IT was represented as public
necessity. At the council meeting, last
Monday night. before it came up for
final disposition, remonstrance signed
by 10 property owners OF the street,
was presented, protesting against the
pavement on the grounds that Il was
unnecessary and would be burden
which some could not carry. As the
protest did not contain majority OF
the signatures of the property owners
of the street, the resolution was passed.
isIn consequence there IS much feel
ing expressed, and II has been since IN
t.mated that there was underhanded
work IN passing the resolution. as II
was against the VIII of nearly all who
have interests along the street. Ii i
said that when ii was learned that re-
monstrance was being circulated. GER
tain parties assured those who were IN
terested in defeating the resolution
that il would never pass the Counc !,
"a il would never be brought up agaln.
This. they claim, is the reason why Il
contained only sixteen names. Now
| they consider that snap game was
PLAYED on them by somebody.
During the past week Schmidt Bros.
| and John Strand have been hard ~
work circulating petitions, which will
| be placed before the council tn s even
| ing, in the form of a second remOn-
| STRANGE. IL will contain nearly all OF
/ the propertv-holder on West Fulton-st.,
and If recons;dered the measure Will
undoubtedly be defeated.
There are strong reasons for not paw
/ ing the street and they should he taken
! into consideration. Corporations like
| the Phpnlx Furn ture company and J
! W. Converse would be able TO pay THEN
assessments without turning over then
| hands, hut there are n great many la
boring people who have homes on the
street, which are only partially paid for
In many instances there are mortgages
| on them, which require all the money
the owners can save and scrape togethel
to satisfy. These homes are worth only
! from 500 to $1,000 each, and if an as
| sessment were levied on them the result
would be that these poor laborers woulC
probably lose all they have in th'
world. The fact is they woulC
have to sacrifice their homes
West Fulton-st., is not in what can b,
called bad condition. From Jefferson
St. west, it as good as any street in TIN
city and the balance only needs a tol
dressing Of gravel.
