TO PAVE TENTH STREET.
The question Of paving Tenth street, in
front of the City Hall, with asphalt
blocks came up on the report or the
City Engineer that s2,0945 was on hand
the same having been received from the
direct-tax fund, and being intended for
use in improving the streets generally.
Mr.. Bloomberg, after stating that he
had several times voted for the paving
Of Tenth street without avail, moved that
the 81, 900 in question be expended in con-
structing a bicycle trace on Grace street
from Ninth to Richmond College. The
motion was defeated.
Mr.. Pollock then moved that the sum
be expended in paving Tenth street, and
said that he was willing to contribute 500
from the fund to the credit of his ward,
providing the other wards would give
pro rata, as had been suggested by the
City Engineer.
Mr.. Woody and Mr.. Lawder, OF Mar
shall Ward, said that they could not
agree to give anything from their FUND,
while the people there were knee-deep In
mud during the winter. This ward finally
agreed to contribute 500, and the motion
was adopted.
TO PUT UP TREE-BOXES.
The City Engineer presented a plan for
placing tree-boxes round trees in certain
districts of the city. He dwelt on the i'm
provement il would be, and suggested that
the matter should be taken under advise
ment, and appropriation made for this
purpose from the expense account at the
next meeting.
t. IoI 70
Mr.. Pollock that an ordinance should be
framed compelling pIoperty-owners to
make a deposit for tree-boxes, or deliver
them to the Engineers Department be
fore trees are planted. Colonel Cutshaw
said such an ordinance was being pre-
pared.
Mr. Burton, on behalf of the trustees
Of Grace-Street Baptist church, asked
that the pavement in front Of the church
should be relaid. Upon the suggestion of
the City Engineer, Mr.. Burton asked tina:
allegations should be heard, and this
was agreed TO.
WILL NOT MAKE INQUIRY.
Mr. Pollock asked for the appointment
of q committee to inquire into the neces-
sity for concreting street railway tracks.
He offered this motion, he said, at the
request of Mr.. Phil b. SHIELD, counsel for
the Traction Company.
Mr.. King moved to lay the matter on
the table The amendment was lost on
a tie vote, and after a good deal of
discussion, pro and con, Mr.. Pollocks
motion was defeated by vote of TO D
The City Engineer announced that the
tests which were being made OF the
material submitted by contractors Tor
use in the construction of the Fifth
