IMPORTANT BUSINESS.
A meeting OF the Street Committee has
been called for this afternoon at $50
O'Clock, in the City Engineers office, and
business of much Importance Will be con-
sidered. Chairman NJ. \. Campbell, In
calling the committee, emphasized the
important nature OF the business 10
come before them, and urged every mem
Der to be present. Judge William i.
Clopton, City Attorney, will also be
present by request. The paving of Hull
street has been completed, and is on this
occasion to be turned over to the COM
mittee by the contractors, Messrs
Armbrecht & Middendorf. 1t will then
become the duty and Office of the COM
mttee to receive or reject the work at
their pleasure There is every proba-
billy that opposition will be made to
the work as ii now stands, and that
unless the paving on some portions OF
the thoroughfare is taken up and re-
laid upon firmer beds. pecks of trouble
will ensue. 1t is understood, however
that the contractors will readily do THIS
and at a recent meeting, when the mat
ter was discussed at length they showed
every disposition to do what was just
and right. The objection raised to the
work is that the bed of the street was
not consistent and firm, and now, since
travel has been renewed upon the street,
at some places. especially between the
tracks, 1t has sunken, causing 1t 10 pre-
sent the appearance of corn rows"
Another matter to be considered Will
be the ACCESSIBILITY of the citys pur-
chasing a stone crusher at this time, or
at least, renting one for some months.
The committee feels satisfied that the
crusher Is a necessity and thing that
has been needed by the city for some
time. There is great quantity of
granite near the pumping station, and
this machine could be placed in position
so that they could derive power from the
pumping engine. BY this means Man
chester could have her streets macada-
mixed at a very slight cost.
The regular meeting Of the City Coun-
Gil will be held Friday evening, and the
committee appointed to look into the
affairs of the Grays will meet just prior
to this session.
