WILL BE DEFERRED.
Work on the Belmont Street Pave Will
NOT &c Commence This Fall.

Not &c Commence This Fall.
There has been considerable worry
on the part of the councils on account
Of the delay Of the Belmont street pave.
The slowness OF the Traction company
in moving their tracks has made 1t
probable that the city would be sued
by the Park Paving company, who were
awarded the contract.
However, Mayor Hendrick has re-
ceived a telegram which will put all
their fears at rest. The telegram stated
that the material was very scarce. and
as the season was so far advanced,
they would like to defer the work till
spring. The company evidently do not
think the contract at an end, and will
go on with the work as soon as the
season opens. The brick used by the
company Is manufactured by them
selves, and the large demand made
upon them by their contractors makes
the material scarce.
