Cronan. Councilman Clifford raised the
point that the message came from the
mayor and not from the aldermen, and
that a motion to concur with the alder
men in regard to it was out of order

well taken, and ruled Mr.. STEMS mo-
ton out of order
Mr.. Stein then moved to table the

10 Exytfl y, r. wi
of aldermen in recommitting to the
board of finance the recommendation
from that board that only $1,000 of the
$4,000 in the account Of paving streets
to the account Of repair of streets.
1t was voted to adhere to the previ-
Gus action in regard to the issuance of
$270,000 worth of bridge bonds and to
concur with the aldermen in regard to
the repairing with crushed stone of
Edgewood avenue and Blatchley ave-
nue..
When the report of the committee on
streets recommending favorable consid-
Grafton of the mayors recommendation
that Chapel street be paved with vitri
| fed brick was read some debate ensued.
The aldermen, when they considered
the matter at their last meeting, voted
to give the petitioner, the mayor, leave
to withdraw. When the report had
been read last night Councilman Fuller
of the street committee said that only
seven out of a hundred or more prop
erty owners on Chapel street appeared
to speak against the paving with vitri-
| fled brick at the hearing held by the
street committee. He said that these
seven were not opposed to paving Chap
ell street between York and State
streets, but that they were opposed to
vitrified brick being used and desired
something cheaper. He did not believe
that committee should be controlled
entirely by few citizens in regard to a
matter which applies to the city as a
whole, and thought that the wishes of
SO small number ought not to delay
public improvements Of this kind In
| conclusion Mr.. Fuller said: 1.-THE alder
| men voted to give the petitioner leave
! to withdraw. There was no petition
| err"
Councilman Brown, a member of the
street committee, said that vitrified
brick on the Chapel street hill would
| be bad thing for horses. He said that
| he had ruined a horse by driving on the
asphalt pavement this year and that
| he did not wish to ruin another. He
| said that while only a few persons ap
| peared at the committee meeting to OPP
| pose the paving as recommended, no
one appeared in favor of 1t, although
| the meeting was advertised.
Councilman Shepard-'It appears to
me that some one wants to sell brick
Councilman Fuller-"I object to any
such insinuations. l do not think"
President Burton-"The gentleman
from the Eleventh has the floor"
Councilman Isbell-"I don't think
| that accusations should be made
against the members of the street COM
mittee."
Councilman Shepard-"The birds
seem to f1utter. should like to see the
street repaired, but think that the or
der to pave it with vitrified brick should
be consigned to the legislative burying-
ground with so many of Anthony Car
rolls petitions which have been sent
| there"
The motion to concur with the alder
men was lost, to s, the members from
the outlying wards not being permitted
to vote. It was then voted to accept
the report and adopt the recommended
! ton.
1t was voted to concur with the alder
men in adopting the recommendation
of the committee on claims that $3.50 be
allowed to E. A. Anketell for injuries
received by falling ON an icy sidewalk.
A resolution was passed providing for
/ the appointment by the mayor of a
committee to consist of two aldermen
and three councilmen to consider the
advisability of having band concerts on
the green this summer.
A number of recommendations from
the street committee which had been
on the table since June, 1896, were in
definitely postponed.
This closed the work of the old board
of councilmen and a resolution was
passed rendering to President Burton
the thanks of the members for his able
presidency of the board during his term
of office and presenting to him the CAV
ell which he has used as presiding Off.
