ing.
Carson moved to place ordinance on its
passage which prevailed and the ordinance
was passed unanimously.
The mayor announced Col Jocelyn pres
ent who wanted to say something about
paving bonds.
The clerk read records on approving es-
Inmates for Douglas paving. The first es-
innate $4,000, approved on motion of
Glaze; second estimate $4,000 and third
estimate S24, 900 both approved on motion

johnson said he supposed if the com
pany made the pavement good the council
woule be compelled to pay for the pave
ment.
Glaze inquired if it would be possible to
rescind the action approving estimates,
when the city attorney thought it would
not have legal effect.
Col Jocelyn was then called upon and
inquired what information Splitter 6, Co
had given in relation to cross street paving
bonds. The letter was read, when Col.
Jocelyn said he had understood Judge
Wood claimed a separate ordinance and
bond for each street. Mr.. Jocelyn contin-
uing, said it might be possible to get some
pay from the Douglas avenue funds. He
would prefer money to bonds.
The mayor thought it would not be adj
visable to change funds
Carson suggested to accept the Douglas
aaenue money and the paving bonds and
await until paving is satisfactory.
The mayor inquired what the council
wanted to do with the $4,000 Douglas
avenue bond.
Coffin said if the council was not pre-
pared TO pay for Douglas paving had bet
ter not accept the money provided Splitter
& Co. could not get an action for damages.
He suggested that the city might take
some time now and send kilograms and
letters saying bonds would be signed and
sent.
Schnitzler said that at the time the esti-
mates were accepted it was a mice,
straight street." and all right.
The city engineer said he had been or
dered to bring in estimates, and he had
done so, holding back 10 per cent.
Coffin expressed the opinion that if the
work had been done according to plans
and specifications the city would be COM
PEELED to pay for it. He did not vote for
the Douglas avenue experiment.
The city engineer said the pavement had
been put down according to specifications.
Most of the trouble due to the cement
work being done in the hot weather The
pavement should be cleaned and kept
clean. The paved streets should not be
sprinkled; if sprinkled, do so very light.
The sprinkling caused the mud to collect
on the streets.
The mayor suggested that something
should be done to prevent the streets being
sprinkled so much. The pavement where
not sprinkled was clean.
Glaze moved to issue bonds to Jocelyn
direct, for cross street paving.
Mr.. Voss, who did the grading for the
cross streets, said he could not handle
bonds He wanted good, hard money,
such as is supposed to be in circulation in
this country
Carson said the brick paving was to have
tar coating, but the city engineer replied
that tar is to be put between the bricks
and can be done yet.
Col. Jocelyn said tar between bricks was
of no value but would be put in between
the brick, all that work would be done at
one time
Caswell moved to issue the bonds to
JOcelyn on estimates as submitted. The
motion prevailed unanimously.
