Mr.. GARNEGIE'S GIFT.
A New Proposition Presented to the
Allegheny City Councils.
GENERAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The EOrthsids Will Test a New European
Street Pavement.
RESULT OF A MOVEMENT By CITIZENS

The question Of the control of the Carnegie
library came up before both branches Of
Councils in Allegheny last evening, but no
definite action was taken in either house.
New propositions, for q board of library
directors, were submitted.
In Common Council Mr. Ammon pre-
seited the report OF the City Property Com
mittee, recommending the ordinances giving
that committee the complete control of the
library, and adversely reporting the or
dinanee for special board of nine citizens.
The substance of these measures has been
given in The DISPATCH.
As soon as the report was read Mr.. Ammon
moved that the ordinance recommended be
referred back to the committee. This, it is
understood, was the result of conferences
held yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Ammon said
that, since the report was prepared, he had
concluded. as some of his friends had, that
he had been little hasty in the matter.
New light had recently been received on the
subject, and he believed that if the commit
tee were given another chance an improve
ment could be made. The motion to refer
back was passed.
Mr.. Ammon then presented a resolution
directing the City Property Committee to
prepare two ordinances for the government
Of the library. The first shall give that
committee control of the building and
grounds. The second shall pertain to the
books, the room in which they are kept and
the art gallery, which shall be in charge of
special board. consisting of five members
of Common Council, four members of Select
Council and six members of the Board of
School Controllers of Allegheny, with An
drew Carnegie or his representative as the
sixteenth member.
WANTED INSTRUCTIONS.
Mr.. Ammon asked to have the resolution
adopted, saying that the committee wished
definite instructions. At the suggestion of
President Hunter, the resolution was sent
to the committee with the ordinance.
The Street Committee reported that Will
lam Walker, OF the firm of W. & II.
Walker, had been investigating pavements
in American and European cities and re-
ported that the best pavement in use was
Sicilian sheet rock asphalt. The commit
tee recommended that a test be made of that
pavement on Irwin avenue
The ordinance passed by Select Council to
repave Irwin avenue, from Western avenue
to North avenue, with the Sicilian asphalt
was placed on its passage. Mr. Rudolph OBJ
iected that the pavement was unknown, and
that Irwin avenue was already we'll paved.
David B. Oliver, Of the Oliver Iron and
Steel Company, was granted permission to
address the Council on the subject He said
that the movement to test the new pavement
had been started by a few public-spirited
citizens who had no interest to serve except
to get the best paving material
in the world for Allegheny. He
said that Pittsburg and, Allegheny,
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-10

because of the ease with which they could
obtain cobble stones. had the worst pave
ments in the United States. The gentlemen
to whom he had referred had induced the
agent for what they had found to be the
best pavement in London, Liverpool. Bel
fast and Paris, to agree to lay one piece in
Allegheny. They felt sure that it would
recommend itself, and that no other would
be used. 1t is made of sheet rock asphalt,
laid on concrete, and could be torn up and
replaced with less injury to the surface than
any other payment knoFn. Mr.. Oliver said
that he had no hesitation in declaring the
Sicilian pavement TO be the best in the
world
