that at the meeting of the council two

IN the premises was deferred until today.
In the meantime the six aldermen named

THE table shows the sum Of s1j.1ao.os
due to the city, and II is understood that
the mayor had the claim for this amount
presented to tho commissioners court of
the county. and that tho claim WAS by that
body rejected. Notwithstanding this action
of the commissioners, II should be remem-
bereu that the county commissioners have
recognized the right OF the ci,y TO partici-
pate In the distribution Of the available
school funds of the county derived from
the school lands and have paid 10 the city
treasurer S131s.12 as the sity's share of the
funds for the present year. Each year here
after, therefore. the city will receive Its
part Of these funds varying In amount
from year 20 year but sprrcxlmaung 1880

1T Will thus be seem that the axitaiion
OF this matter has not been altogether
without benefit 70 the stfy which saips

But tho verv fact that the county suthori-
ties have decided to ray this apportiop

men backing II are entitled TO great credit
from our citizen taxpayers for the follow

tions for paving Washington street were
so prepared ny the former administration
that rock asphalt was excluded from the

asphalt AT the following prices The Bar

Asphalt Paving company, on siN-inch
concrete. S2,5i per square yard
These bids we're based on domestic ce-
ment, according TO the specifications.
These prices are 80 cents per square yard
higher than tho bids OF these same COM
panies on the Main street pavement. Why
have they 30 reduced their pricesI For
the simple reason that they fear the intro
duction of natural rock asphalt, knowing
its great superiority over any artificial as
phalt pavement, for, at the best, all they
can possibly do Is 70 initiate the natural
material.
