wanted,
At this point the question was called !
for, Alderman Keyes moved to lay up !
on the table, but the motion was not |
seconded. The report Of the committee !
giving the remonstrants leave to with |
draw was then adopted, as was also the |
report of the committee ordering the |
board of public works 10 pave West |
Chapel street, from York to Mott streets, !
with sheet asphalt.
The question of paving Orange street |
with sheet asphalt, from Crown TO Can
ner streets. also was the innocent cause
of considerable discussion. The coun-
cilmen at their last meeting amended
the report of the committee by substi-
tuting Elm for Crown street and Ed for
Gamer street, AT the meeting last eve
ming Alderman Macdonald moved that
the board adhere to it's former action in
ordering the entire street paved with
sheet asphalt.
Alderman Smith moved as an amend
ment that the board of aldermen con-
cut with the board of councilmen.
Alderman Macdonald stated that he
hoped the amendment would not pre-
vail He said that since the question
of street pavements had been agitated
he was panied to see and hear of the
aspersions which had been cast upon
the street committee Iby a member of the
court of common council. He believed
that the committee was honest and had
done its work faithfully and we'll, and
that were there no other reason he
should vote to adhere to the former ac-
ton of that body
Tn
he, too, had something to say about
aspersiens, but that the aspensions had
been made about him by a member of
the committee on streets. He then read
an extract from an evening paper which
purported to be an interview with
Councilman Ullman in which he was
reported as saying that he Smith was
an agent for a block asphalt paving
company This statement the alder
man from the Eleventh Indignantly
denied, and stated that he was not
now nor ever had been identified with
or interested in any paving company.
eff any member Of this body" he said
believes to the contrary, | want him
now to say So"
Alderman Conner at this stage of the
proceedings attempted to pour oil up
on the slightly troubled waters by adj
vocating that the councilmen be allowed
to fight out their little petty squabbles
among themselves"
'Why'' he said 'the councilmen are
like school boys, and we who have
known each other for two years more
or less, and know each other intimately,
should mot pay any attention to such
inc i n
STAIRS
Alderman Hamilton argued in favor
of adhering to the former action of the
board, and in reference to the state
ment alleged to have been made by
Councilman Ullman about Alderman
Smith, said that the councilman had
asked him the next day if he had made
any such statement, and was told by
Alderman Hamilton that he had not
heard any such remark, and also that
the. latter had advised him to pay no
attention to the matter, but to let it
pass as mere newspaper talk.
At this point the question: was call
ed for, and the amendment was over
whelmingly defeated, after which the
motion of Alderman Macdonald to adj
here to former action was put and
passed with but few dissenting votes.
A special meeting of the board of
councilmen has been called for Friday
evening to take action or the paving of
West Chapel and Orange streets.
