Council Contracts.
The common council, at it's meeting
Wednesday night, awarded the contract
to pave North Michigan street to w.
M. Hatch, of Goshen. The council had
fixed upon Posten block, but word was
received late in the afternoon from
Crawfordsvile that it could not be
turnished before spring, hence the
council instructed the mayor to con-
tract with Mr.. Hatch for Clinton or
Preston brick. A gravel foundation
will be used.
The committee of three, consisting of
Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Reynolds and Mr..
Ashley, made their report upon the re-
monstrance, which showed that it was
insufficient after conceding every claim
of the demonstrators. They lacked
over 400 lineal feet on every PROPOSE
tiOn to have sufficient property repre-
sented on the remODstrance.
Mr.. Neff sent word to have his name
taken off the remonstrsnce; j. b. Row.
ell telegraphed from Goshen to have
his name taken off; and Mrs. Neal
changed her mind, concluding to leave
her name on the remembrance. The
council made these changes and the
ever by A feet.
After the committee report was read,
the council MADE quick work of the
matter. 1t Immediately accepted the
report and, upon motion, the mayor
was instructed to contract with Mr..
Hatch.
Thus ends hard fought battle.
For the victory our people owe their
thanks to the common council. and
especially to Mr.. Parker who has
lsbored necessarily to accomplish
what he was instructed by the voters
of Plymouth to do.
The Independent takes consolation
in this victory also, 10 that it has been
the only newspaper that hes taken Q
square stand and backed up
its convictions with every
available argument. There is no OBJ.
lection to paving Laporte street and
that improvement is assured. If the
people on South Michigan street elect
to retain their mud streets in the face
of the north side improvements, the In
dependent very much doubts their bus
