PAVING NOT SATISFACTORY
Board of Public Works in Session To.

Board of Public Works in Session To-
 day Adheres to Former Action.
 The board of public works held a special meeting at 11:30 o'clock this morning in the mayors office, Mayor Kilduff presiding and all the members being present. The meeting was called for the purpose of taking action re- garding the ignoring by the Hastings Pavement Go of the vote passed by the board some time ago with reference to the reconstruction of the asphalt paving blocks on North Main street. Engineer Cairns explained that the vote passed by the board was complied with up to last Tuesday, when Presi- dent Palmer and Engineer Morrison of the Hastings Pavement Go came to town and instructed their foreman to make such repairs as he thought necessary and take no notice of the beard of public works or the city's ifl- Spector When Mir Cairns heard this he called upon the foreman and asked him if it were true, and was informed that it was. Since that time the city's insepctor has simply kept track of what is being done. Yesterday out of 200 old block relaid but twenty were three inches thick, and the major DOT tion of them were less than two and q half inches thick. The city refuses to accept any blocks that show wear of over an inch. After talking the matter over it was voted to notify the com pany that the work of reconstruction is not in accordance with the condi- tions of the contract. does not meet with the approval of the board and will not be accepted by the city. Mayor Kilduff, Engineer Cairns and the board of public works feel that there was nothing harsh in the demands made upon the company, and are con siderably annoyed at the disposition shown by President Palmer and En- gineer Morrison. According to the contract the board of public works is made the judge of what repairs shall be necessary on the work after q period of five years, and if the com pany refuses to do it within three months after being notified the city can do the job and deduct the cost from the percentages retained. If that is not sufficient the company's surety is responsible for the balance.
 The petition of the Steele & John son Manufacturing Go for permission to make an eight-inch tapping in the water main ill South Main street, op- posite the factory, was granted under the usual conditions, the work to be done under the supervision of and to the satisfaction of the engineer and the superintendent of the bureau of water.
 The board then adjourned.
