Gilmore and Snyder were refused
payment of bill for extra work on
paving In South Morgantown. The
damage causing extra work was
caused by delay in getting brick for
paving after the street was graded.
Since Gilmore and Snyder were the
contractors for both paving and brick,
the committee OF council holds that
they should be responsible for extra
work due to delay. The bill was for
$122.20.

init to conduct restaurant In

not be given up for use of any organ

have been a great deal of annoyance
to the council though they granted
the privilege and were paid by the
dancing parties for the use OF it. The

they may fit up the dance and drill

for their meetings.
