BRIDGEPORT.

The thing that is now agitating the
minds of the property owners along that
part of Bank and Morgan streets, that is to
be paved with fire brick in the spring, is,
whether the brick now being furnished 70
do the work are first-class fire brick, burn
ed especially for paving purposes. and
whether they are up to the sample fur
nished to Council, and which Council had
tested at the Ohio State University. The
persons owning the property abutting on
said streets are the ones most interested.
because they have the bills to pay.
The Council have an iron-clad
agreement, aud good bond, that
the work will be done in strict accordance
with the specifications, which, if carried
out in all respects, will make a gem of a
street
Some people think the brick are not
good, well burned fire brick. and will not
stand up for one year under the heavy
hauling done over our streets. The Coun-
Gil will appoint whoever the property own
ers desire TO Gull these brick and superin-
tend the work of laying the pavement.
This will release Council Of all blame and
throw all responsibility on those most in
terested. The Council is DESTROYS of having
the work done in strict accordance with the
