THOSE PAVEMENT ORDERS
WR ESTLEO WITH BY YALDERMEN a a
THEIR SPECIAL MEETING.


Order-EIm Street Recommendation
Not Acted Upon-AIdorman WaIIace's
Reasons.
The board of aldermen last night at
the special session called by the mayor
wrestled with paving matters and con-
CURED with the councilmen in accept
ing the committee reports on the paw
ing of Chapel and Temple streets, ta-
bling the reports until the approprla-
ton committee reports. The first rec
commended order read was that for the
paving of Temple street, between Elm
street and Congress avenue, with vitfl-
fled iron shale rock brick. Alderman
Hubbard moved to concur with the
councilmen in accepting this report and
tabling it until the appropriation Is re-
ported. Alderman Hall raised the point
that since the councilmen had tabled
this report it was not properly before
the aldermen for consideration. Presi-
dent Conway declared the point well
taken, and then the order for the ap-
preparation for Temple street paving
was referred to the committee on APP
preparations.
Alderman Hubbard thought that the
ruling on Mr. Halls point Of order was
not a proper ruling. He held that ta-
bling of committee report by the
councilmen did not prevent the report
coming before the aldermen. Alder
man Miller agreed with Mr.. Hubbard
and said that this was a committee re-
port addressed to the court of common
council and must be received by both
boards.
Mr.. Hubbard appealed from the de-
cision Of the chair after a suggestion
by Alderman Moyle that an appeal was
the only way of settling the question.
A vote being taken, the appeal was sus-
tained by vote of Ia to 6. Mr.. Hub
bard then renewed his motion to con-
cur.
Alderman Atwater offered an amend
ment to the committee report to pro-
vide that the quality of brick be strick-
en- out of the report and that the quail
ity of the brick to be laid be left to the
discretion of the director of public
works The chair ruled that the mo-
cur in tabling, was not debatable or
amendable, and Mr.. Atwater withdrew
his amendment. The motion to concur
was then carried
Next came the report recommending
granite block pavement on Crown
street. between State and Temple
streets. Alderman w. j. Walsh moved
to amend this by making the order pro-
vide for an asphalt block pavement on
Crown street. The amendment was
adopted by q vote of IA to and the re-
port as amended was tabled until the
appropriation Is reported and acted up
on. Alderman Wallace, chairman of
the street committee, was one of those
who voted against the substitution of
asphalt for vitritied brick.
The recommendation for an iron Shale
brick pavement on Chapel street, be-
tween State and York streets, was next
taken up. Alderman Hubbard moved
to concur. with the councilmen in ia
bling this report until the appropria
tion is acted upon, and the motion was
passed, Alderman Atwater alone vot-
ing against it. The order for the ap-
ton for the Chapel street pave
ment was then taken up and Mr.. At |
water moved to strike out from this or
der Iron shale brick" and substitute
''vitrifed brick" saying that providing |
for iron shale brick in the order cut off |
all competition, as only one company
made that kind of brick.
Chairman Wallace of the street COM
mittee said that the committee had as
certained that at least three companies
made iron shale brick and that the
of the order did not therefore
cut off competition. He said that he
favored kind of pavement |
not mentioned in the street committees
report, and had it not been for the fear
that he would be charged with being
fixed" and if he had made up the re-
port, he would have made it to recon-
mend that other kind of pavement to
which he referred. He said that he
lad been charged with being fixed"
'or asphalt block. A man couldn't even
suggest asphalt without being abused.
Mr. Atwaters amendment was then
voted upon and was defeated by vote
If II to 10. 1t was then voted to concur
