| last night. when that body adopted re-
ports. submitted by the Finance and
| Street committees. providing for the is
suance OF bonds for the payment OF the
cost of rapaving Hull street and pre-
scribing the manner in which the work
shall be done.
The Street Committee recommended
/ that the bid of Mr.. j.. r. Goodwin.
which amounted to about $1,000. be ac-
cepted, and that the Street Railway Com
pany be required to replace their
| tracks with the Johnson fat-head girder-
rails, such as are used on Main street, in
Richmond.
/ The Finance Committee recommended
the issuance Of $4,000 in 8 per cent.
1874 year bonds. FOR the payment OF the
| cost of repaving Hull Street from Second
TO Fifteenth, and also the lower end OF
! Perry street. IL Is estimated that the
] city's proportion OF the expense of re-
paving Hull street will be about $500,
| and that of the railway company about
| 1900.
The question as to whether the contrac-
tor should hold the city responsible for
| the entire amount, as predicted In these
columns SUNDAY, was tnc principal SUD
| Ject for discussion. Alr Goodwin, the
| contractor, was present, and stated that
| he would certainly hold the city respon-
sible for the paymett Of the entire
work, unless he could lget the railway
| company 10 sign a conflict with him for
| their portion. Judge C,tpton settled the
| matter by stating thatI the city would
| have to be responsible ft the entire con-
| tract.
