COST OF THE WORK

City Solicitor James Campbell, Jr.,
VIII save the city an expenditure OF
1920 by his careful search of the
records in the controversy that has
arisen over the reconstruction of
Tenth street between Broadway and
Kentucky avenue. Ordinances were
passed end bids have been received
for the paving OF this block with bit
ulthic and the cost was ASSESSED
against Mrs. T, II. Puryear. who owns
property on both sides of the street.
At the time the city bought the prop
erty, 100 feet wide at $40 a foot. II
was agreed that the city should pay
for the grading and gravellng. but no
record OF this could be found on the
minutes OF the general council, NOS
had it been specified in the deed 30
on this condition the street was or
iered repaired.
But not being content with the
facts that appeared on the surface,
.Cly Solicitor Campbell went exhaust
.vely through the files in the city
clerks Office and found the agree
ment, which obligates the city to
make the improvement, and he will
report this fact % the general cOun-
II tonight. In the city's present state
of finances. it's highly improbable
hat the contract with the Southern
Bituli,hic company will be ratified by
the board. though the aldermen al
ready have doae 50. The bid was
$40 square yard. or $4,000 for the
block. Had not the un'ndexed record
been found. the eiiy solicitor would
rave recommended that the contract
be s.gned. and the city probably
would have faced a lawsuit at the end
Of the work. The document found
S letter from Mrs. T. II. Puryear

agreement mentioned, and the gem

However, the sidewalk improve

ment, and as they are provided for IN
a separate ordinance. the board Of
councilmen will order that contract
signed and executed. Although the
agreement holds the city technically

must be paid by the city.

this IS done there Is no hurry for the

LICENSE TAGS

city Clerk Maurice Mcintyre has
received the 1905 tags and signs that
should have been issued at the time
the license were paid. but were not
delivered b. the manufacturer for
various reasons. until this morning
All dog owners, mix men and
wagons that bought licenses will now
present their receipts and secure a
tag or sign. which shows that they
have paid. Mr. Mclntyre has been
worried great deal by the delay IN
receiving the tags and signs. as
anxious dog owners were afraid the
dog catcher would take their pets,
which had been paid for but had no
visible proof around their necks OF
that fact. CITY License Inspector
Hicks has been hampefed in his work
by not knowing who had paid. which
ordinarily he can tell by a glance at
a wagon or dog.

The mule drank the beer out OF the

coyetously at the glasses of beer hand
