THE Street COMMITTEE.
His Honor the Mayor Is Hauled
Over the Goals on His
Own Property.
THE HAYEs.sTREET CONTRACT.
Sutro and Caden Make Spirited Re-
piles -Joost's Opinion Of
Donald Bruce.

The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met yesterday morning and
proceeded to haul his Honor the Mayor
over the Goals for his refusal to accept the
paving work done on his property on
Hayes street, between Fillmore and Steiner.
Mayor Sutro refused to accept the contract
of Flynn & Tracy because beach sand had
not been mixed.
The committee decided to report in favor
of passing the measure over the Mayors
veto and threw the following sarcastic
suggestions into its report:
After diligent inquiry and investigation we
found that the concrete work and bituminous
this City and County, and that this was the
particular aim and object of the contractors,
because they desired that his Honor the Mayor
who owns one-fourth of the entire fror tage on
the block, should be more than satist ed, and
should have superb pavement in front of his
property. That the pavement is superior one
admits of no doubt but that his Honor was
actuated in vetoing this resolution of accept
ance by reason of the fact that he will be re-
quired to pay one-fourth of the expense, your
committee do not believe, and any such state
ment would be base calumny on his Honor's
motives.
