At an adjourned meeting of the
Street Committee. held last night. sew
eral matters of Importance were con-
sidered. Tho committee some time
ago recommended that $500 be paid to
the contractor on account OF work on
Cowardin Avenue, and that the remain
Ing s65 be held until the Job is COM
pleted. Last night 1t developed that
the work was not altogether satsfac-
tory. and 1t was held by several men,
bers that to put the avenue in the
best condition the s65 would not be
sufficient. Mr.. Jones opposed the pay
ment of any bill for work which is I'M
der contract until 1t has been COM
pleted. On motion the committee re-
scinded its previous action, and asked
the Council to refuse to pay the bill
until the work has been completed ac-
cordlng to contract
Representing the Chesterfield Gran
tie Company. which was awarded the
contract for furnishing granite corner
blocks. Mr.. Mcintosh appeared and
asked to be relieved. New bids will
bo asked for this wrok.
Mr.. Bradley. contractor for the brick
for the Hot Springs on account of his
health. also requested the committee
to relieve him. The request was

For Manufacturing Company.
| The Industrial Committee met last
night and received from the Southern
Manufacturing Company an application
i for franchise and exemption from
| taxation for period of five years. AZ
4 ter considering the matter the COM
mittee recommended that the Council
grant the franchise, on condition that
I the company print upon all of its sta
i tionery the fact that the plant is To-
Gated in Manchester.
!. There is likely to be fghr over
this question in the Assembly to-mor-
row night. The company leases the
j building which 1t has just moved into
4 from the Atlantic Coast Line, and some
of the members who oppose the grant
ing of the franchise fear that the plan,
may be moved away after five years
, as was the case with Stephen Putney
6 Company.
