Some Ties, some Resembling.
and some other Matters.
" Blest he the tie that binds
Our votes Us aldermen"
There is now no doubt whatever that
the Ashevillc board of aldermen is a
board of ties-ties in voting as we'll as
ties of kinship.
Aspecial meeting of the board was held
in the mayors Office last night. Those
present were Aldermen Brcvard, Leon
ard, Starnes, Mcdowell and Reynolds.
Mr. Brevard started to make motion
that Mr.. Reynolds take the chair, but
that gentleman met him half way, with
counter motion, to the effect that MIR.
Brevard should preside, put the motion,
and before the aStonishcd alderman could
think what was going on, Mr.. Reynolds
motion had been carried, and ]. ID. was
presiding.
During Friday nights meeting there
were six tic votes in the election OF Off
GERS. Last night there were half as many
more ties.
HAYWOOD STREET AGAIN.
J. 5. Adams, ESQ.,, representing the
Ashcville Loan, construction and i'm
provcmcnt company, told the board tina,
there had been some disagreement be
tween the company aud the property
owncrs along the west and south sides
of Hay wood street, regarding The cost OF
moving the street railway line on those
sides, i'll accordance with the order of the
special meeting held last Saturday. Mr.
Adams asked that the board settle the
question as to who should reimburse the
the company for the costs incurred by
this, the third or fourth shifting.
Capt. Matt Atkinson stated that he
and the other property owners were will
ing to stand up to their proposition
made Saturday, to pay for the work
that had been done, but did not think
they should be made to shoulder all the
contingencies.
n. A. Reynolds told the board that the
best way to settle the matter was to re-
consider all orders conflicting with the
widening of the street, and make it fifty
feet The street would have to be
widcncd before very long, and it could
be done now at much less cost than it
