street committee to readyertise for bids
for the work"
Alderman Moore: MIR. Chairman,
there has never been any disposition on
behalf of the members of the street COM

time, on the other hand, and l think now
is the time for the council to act
Alderman O'Neill The ordinances
providing for paving Fifth avenue include

suggest that we let the matter go over

tion."
Alderman Moore moved that the sub
stitute offered by Alderman Ward be
laid on the table. which was adopted by
a vote of 10 to g.
The Mayor.
When the name of the mayor was
called he said that he desired to explain
his vote, which was in the negative. The
mayor said that during Lis entire term
of office, which has been nearly six years,
that this was the first time PROPOSE
ton to accept a higher bid IN preference
to lower one had been presented, to his
reeollection to the council. He expressed
the hope that the council would stand
on its past record and refuse to let the
contract to the higher bidder of the two.
I live in the Fifth ward, which is divided
by Fifth avenue, and I am interested In
the matter not only as an official, but
as a taxpayer"
Alderman Moore: Are you a tax payer
of the avenue?"
The mayor: mo, sir, I am not"
Alderman Moore: 81 did not know. Only
asked for information"
Alderman Jones then offered a resolu-
ton awarding the contract to the Bar
Der company, the asphalt people. This
substitute was seconded by Alderman
O'Neill, but a motion to lay 1t on the
table was adopted by a vote of to 8.
Alderman Barbour moved to refer the en-
tire matter to the city engineer for
report on at the next meeting. This
was, however tabled upon motion of Al
derman Gray, the vote standing 10 TO Z.
A motion was then made and adopted
to concur in the report of the street
committee and let the contract to the
Nashville Roofing and Paving company,
as per their bid for bituminous macadam.
Mayor Drennen, Aldermen O'Neill, Ward,
Gum, Gray and Jones voted in the neg
alive.
