A contract to pave Gardner avenue has
been awarded to Contractor Harrington.
who expected to follow the plans and
specifications, prepared by the Street and
Water Board. The avenue is a very
pretty one though short. 1t extends from
Summit avenue to Monticello avenue.
Thus far the only work done is to cart
the paving stones to the street and de-
post them along the sidewalk. If all the
work that is to be lone is to be of no bet
ter quality h the stones the contract
will not do much honor to the Board Of
Street n Water Commissioners.
The paving stones are of all kinds and
descriptions. The contract and specifica-
lions call for a uniform Belgian block.
Mr.. Harrington has furnished a quantity
OF blocks that vary III size from two
inches in thickness to six or seven inches.
Some of the stones are conceal shaped.
others perfectly square, and others are as
nearly round as of any other shape. In
fact o superficial examination OF them
yesterday led me TO believe that ninety
i've per 9 of the stones failed to an
swer the requirements OF he specifica-
lions.
I am not the only one to make this
observation. In conversation with a gen
tleman who resides on Gardner avenue /
learned that the people on that street
who own property have determined to re-
fuse to pay the assessment for the paving
if these blocks are used, for they claim
that it is impossible to properly pave the
street with such material. They will let
the courts decide whether they shall re-
reive what they are to pay for or not.

contractor is bound to fulfill, / called NJ

Lively Runaways.

Satur lay afternoon cart and a ne

the Houston street turn table. The
negro was thrown off and run over
but not much hurt.
A little later there was runaway
on Acequia street, near the High

buggy. The wagons in their wild
race, hit horse and knocked it clear
upon the sidewalk.
Yesterday morning witnessed a

horse and little spring buggy started
off on corner Rusk and East Com
merce street at a pretty rapid rate.
One of the reins broke aud by pulling
the other, the horse pranced in a
circle few moments and then dash
ed off, colliding with picket fence
which held back the wagon box and
back wheel. The horse and two front
wheels continued on until they
reached the Maverick hotel, where
the animal made complete somer-
sault aud was thus caught. The
buggy is pretty we'll broken, and the
horse will De laid up few days. The
driver, August Ramp, escaped I'M
