Controller Fitch has been in doubt az 10
whether Commissioner BrOokfiel1 had the right
to enter into contract for keeping the asphalt
pavement on Eighth-ave In repair for ten years
at $1,000 year. but Corporation Counsel Scott
finds that there is no legal obstacle In the way Of
such an arrangement This will obviate any delay
in beginning the much-needel repairs. and Mr.
Brookfeld promises TO have the work pushed rs
rapidly as possible. 1t Is to be hoped that this
contract will prove more satisfactory than the
one under which the pavement was put down
In the first place If thorough job is done by
the asphalt company now. 1t will probably not
have much TO do for the next two or three years
