OFFICIALS STILL AT WAR
OVER REPAIR TO STREET
Works Board Docs Not Favor Recon-
mendation of Supervisors About
PheIan Pavement

The Supervisors Finance Commit
tee yesterday sent a communication
to the Board OF Public Works advis-
ing that body to make temporary re-
pairs to the pavement in front of the
Phelan block. r. NJ. Yorke, who has
the contract to repair bituminous
pavements on concrete, positively re-
fused to do the work at his contract
price of 10 cents per square foot, say
ing that it would cost 26 cents. The
Phelan pavement, having a wooden
foundation, was not included in his
contract. Yorke said. The Finance
Committee consulted with Auditor
Baehr, who agreed to pay for the re-
pairs out of an appropriation of $40
900 for repairs to bituminous pave
meHts. The committee thinks the re-
pairs should be made for the knights
Templar conclave and the pavement
may be. reconstructed after that if it
is deemed inadvisable to wait for the
sale of the bond issue. The Board of
Works does not take kindly to the
idea and Commissioner Schmitz inti-
mated that it would not be followed
out.

of Canvass of Voters.

NEW YORK, Aug. S1.-Following
the recent poll of the New York
Stock Exchange, the Herald has be-
gun a similar poll of members of the
New York Produce Exchange, and
the results of the replies received on
the first day are. here given:
Six hundred and sixty-five men,
bers had been heard from when the
voting closed at midnight. and these
showed that the exchange was di-
vided in about the proportion of
two and a quarter for Roosevelt to
one for Parker.
1t also showed that whereas the eX-
change voted almost solidly for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt in 1900. about
one TO every four and a half would
swing this year from the Republican
to the Democratic ticket.
This is. a very heavy Democratic
drift. In 1900 Bryan carried New
