Mr.. Mosbacher stated that the contrac-
tor, Mr.. VOTE, was ready to throw up the
contract, but would be willing to do the
paving if the matter was now delayed I'M
til September l. Mr.. Volz was present
and explained his position. He said that
he had been delayed for over six months
60 q
man and could not afford to take any
more chances.
Buckeridge said that if Col. Joycelyn
was as anxious to do the paving as he was
to get his money for the same, it would
not be very long before the much delayed
paving would be completed.
Col Joceyln took the floor and made a
statement to the effect that he had been
delayed himself and that it was not alto
gether fault of his that the work was
not done. The trouble was partly due TO
the difficulties arising from the bond COM
plications. He could not do paving until
the streets had been prepared for him. He
had nothing to do with the grading. He
could not get brick and get to work. He
did not want to rehandle his brick more
pense.
1t was moved that Second and Central
streets be graded forthwith preparatory to
paving, which passed.
