TRY. RECORDERSHIP.
Has the Board Sat still While thc
procession Moved by?

Chapter of the private laws of North
Carolina, passed at the session of 1891
says in part
SEC. /. That Immediately after the
ratification of this act the board of alder
men of the city of Ashcvillc shall elect a
city recorder, to hold office until the
third Monday i'll June following, or
until his successor is duly elected and
qualified.
"SEc. .. That on the said third
day in each succeeding year, the said
board OF aldermen shall elect successor
to the said city recorder, to hold Office
one year from the dayot his election, or
until his successor is elected and quail
fed"
The following is taken from section | Z
of the Improvement act:
But it was not the meaning
of said act to deprive the mayor or
mayor pro TEN. of any of the jurisdiction
given him under the laws of this state
prior to the passage of said act; and
furthermore, that the word shall, in
the first and second sections of said act
shall he construed may, and that the
board of aldermen, in their discretion
may elect, or not, such recorder, And bt
it further enacted that said act, last
above referred to, ratified or the 2Otl
day of January, 1891, be, and the sam,
is hereby amended as follows, to-wit
BY adding to section four the words
that when the board of aldermen shall
elect such recorder, they SHALL at tn

street committee was instructed to make
some arrangements whereby ,caiclcs
might come into the city while South
Main street is torn up.
Thirty Days More!
Patton avenue, which is now a thorn
in the flesh Of every business man on it,
was discussed some. MIR. Starncs said
Col. Martin had promised to 80 to paw
ing between the rails OF his car line Thurs
dav, but as yet nobody had caught the
Cooncl in the act of doing the work.
Mr.. Mcdowell said that the Colonel had
no men getting out stone, as he had rep
resented to the board. MIR. Scott here
brought out an interesting bit OF news,
which goes to show that, with perhaps
the exception of himself, the board as
well as the mayor and clerk, are poorly
posted on the provisions OF the improve
ment act. The act says that the street
railway companies, before they can be
made to pave between the rails, must be
given thirty days notice by the city engl-
necr. Engineer Lee said he had given no
notice because he had never been in
structcd to give any.
Now, Wen see.
Finally Mr. Cummings made motion
that the city engineer be instructed to
notify Col. Martin to put his tracks on
Patton avenue, North and South Main
and Depot streets in shape for pay
ing, or the board will proceed to take
such action as may be necessary in the
premises. This means a good deal The
board seriously discussed the question,
and there is a disposition to declare a
forfeiture of the street railway company S
charter if President Martin does not do
this work, as the act makes forfeiture the
penalty for refusing to do the work after
due notification. The motion was
adopted.
The contractors said that if the sand
for the foundation between the rails on
Patton avenue could be put down now
they could go to paving on the outside
at once. Mr.. Mcdowell moved to have
the street committee see Col. Martin,
and il he will not do the work, the COM
mittec will have it done, i'll order to cX
peditc the paving of the now impassable
avenue.
Some other Matters.
"A request made by Mrs. w. l.. lliliiard
that the front of her lots on South Main
street be sodded and otherwise put i'll as
good condition as before the widening
was granted.
The city engineer was instructed to
notify the mayor, who snail call specia
meeting, as soon as the specifications tol
the plant for the increased water supply
are printed, which will probably be
Wednesday next.
The engineer reported that the rebuild
ing of the retaining walls by Contractor
Britt had been satisfactorily done, and the
amount withheld by the city was or
dered paid
These bills were ordered paid: ]. d

yards away,
Then came horrible grinding and

their injuries dressed when they left fo

1t was stated at the city hospital th
morning that eighteen of the injured pas
sensers occupied cots in that institution
