WILL NOT REPORT TONIGHT.
Joint Estimates Committee Has Not
Yet Prepared nm Ordinance.

The joint estimates committee of
councils will not report an apprOpria-
tion ordinance to select council tonight
as was intended. This decision was
reached this morning but will not de-
lay the final passage of the appropria-
tion ordinance, as special meetings
will be held to rush the measure
through in about ten days
Chairman Wagner of the select COM
mittee had notices prepared yesterday
morning calling "A meeting of the COM
mittee for tomorrow evening. The no.
tices We're recalled a few hours later
when it developed that the common
council committee, which is wholly Re-
publican, would not consent to a hasty
consideration of the items to be
changed.
The common committee had hoped for
a call for a committee meeting this
evening when no haste would have
been used in preparing the new ordin-
ance. Lack of time prevented full
agreement between the Republicans of
the committees in reference to a time
for meeting. This fact has caused the
preliminary delay but it is presumed
the meeting will be held Friday night.

PROVIDENCE PAVE DELAYED.
Mayor Bailey lNs Vetoed the Present
Defective Ordinance

The ordinance providing for the paw
ing Of Providence Road and North
Main avenue from Court street to the
city line was vetoed by Mayor Bailey
yesterday. The mayors negative was
by advice of the city solicitor and large
North End property owners and not
from a disappru"ul Of the project
Brick was specified in the ordinance
as the material to be used, but the ac-
companying petition of the property
owners failed to sufficiently specify
that kind of material The preference
was only indicated by words written
opposite the names Of the petitioners,
few of whom indicated their choice
was for asphalt
The petition for a pavement of some
kind was signed by nearly every prop
erty owner along the route. They gem
orally approve the mayors veto, pre-
ferring to take chances on the quick
passage of a new ordinance than delay
over technicalites on the old one.

Fnr some time past the firm has been

New York city.
Two tanks, each Is feet high and
IL feet across, have a capacity of 625
barrels each. The other two, 16 feet
high and IA feet across, will hold 52G
barrels each This means that when
all are full 1900 barrels or / 600 kegs
can he stored.
The tubs are all built alike. The
staycS are 16 feet long and Az inches
