Another delay has been experienc.
] ed in the matter OF working up to
the paving Of Baltimore and other
streets of the city. This delay is
caused by no effort on the part to
post themselves about the plans and
specifications, 1t being easier to wait
until they show up in council and
then delay matters. At the present
rate. II the actual order to pave any
Of these streets passes before Christ
mas. 1t will be a miracle not now
looked for.
Another matter of Importance was
that of keeping the pavements open
at the corner of Pike and Fourth
streets and opposite this corner, It
being shown that there are nuisances
there that ought to be abated. In
one instance there is a sandwich
wagon operating there until late
hour at night that does not even have
a license. The mayor promised the
council that he would remedy the
matter.
Still another question before the
council was as to what sort of brick
would be used in the proposed paw
ing that seems to have no prospect
Of Undertaking.. The clerk was d.
rected to inform brick manufacture
ers that the city might do some street
paving some time in the future and
to solicit samples and prices from
them.
All the members were present ex-
cept Councilman McReynolds, and
the mayor presided. Clerk Cole
read the minutes of the previous
meeting and they were adopted.
The annual levy OF 35 cents on
the hundred dollars. as proposed by
council at a previous meeting and
advertised according to law, was
unanimously adopted. there being
no objections presented to the coun-
ell. The special levy of 10 cents
advertised in the same way for the
payment of outstanding debts was
also unanimously adopted. there be-
ing no protest or objection made to
council.
1t was decided not to act on the
specifications for the proposed street
paving until the next regular meet
ing. which is scheduled for August
IL, at which time the matter may or
may not be determined.

been authorized by the council to

Frank r. Moore appeared before
council and protested in strenuous
manner against the sandwich wagon
that stations itself night after night
at the corner of Pike and Fourth
streets. giving vivid description OF
the odors therefrom, and especially
that from onions. He also depicted
the Clancy grocery and saloon in a
very florld manner. He asserted
that bad character of people, such
as prostitutes. frequented that cor
ner, and asked that measures be
taken to free that section of the city
from the sandwich wagon and the
many Objectionable characters he
asserted made rendezvous there
1t was learned that the sandwich
wagon had never taken out license
The matter was referred to the
mayor and chief Of police for cor
rection. Mr.. Moore stated that there
