to break several stones which We're fri
able and soft, nothing like the hard
granite called for in the specifications.
Only once did the committee stop, he
claimed, and the rest of the inspection
was made from the carriage. He still
insisted that the street was not up TO
specifications and would continue to
protest.
For the committee Councilman
Hutchison said that the street had been
found to be good, the curb was all right,
the sidewalk excellent, the street smooth
and hard the gutter in the main good;
in fact, the entire job was up to the spir-
it if not the exact letter of the specifica-
tions. True, Mr.. Preston had broken
several rocks in the gutter, but anyone
could do that with pick
Mr.. Toll wanted to know whether the
committee would say that the street
was up to specifications; if so he would
vote for the ratification of the street su
perintendent's acceptance Mr.. Mathuss
moved the denial of the protest and re-
ceived q second from Mr.. Blanchard

estants departed disconsolate while

less for anything except frog raising.
That not being the business in which
