Mayor Scores Point
Apparently Mayor BergundthaI has
won his fight against new paving
The proposed West Fifth pavement
was killed very dead last night The
spark of life has remained in 1t for
a long time, but the project was
unanimously consigned 10 the
archives at last
The resolution to pave four blocks
on West Twelfth. from Tyler to Fill
more, was passed, but by vote OF
to 4. This means that when the time
comes the mayor Will veto the paving
ordinance, and the council can not
pass IL over his head Those voting
against it were kutz, Nelllss Howe ana
Hughes
a similar resolution to pave East
Twelfth from Kansas avenue to
Quincy was passed by a vote of Z to
5 which is enough to protect the
MAYORS Veto Those opposing 1t were
Kutz Green, Nellis, Rice and Hughes
Unless some of these councilmen
flop" the mayor Will be sustained in
the veto which he declares he will
put on these two projects
The city clerk was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids on the construction
of the following pavement, to be
opened May 16; East Eighth avenue,
Adams, Second to Fourth; Third,
Monroe to Madison; Huntoon, Jack
son to Van Buren,; and the alley at
Twelfth and Harrison These pieces
of pavement the mayor has decided
to allow
