Great Results are Hoped
for by Organizers.
TRADES REPRESENTED

Another big meeting of the newly
organized Building Trades Council was
held last night in union hall, at which

every building trades union in this
vicinity in line. Until this has been ac-
complished, there will be little action
regarding the election of other officers
or committees, or the transaction Of
business.
The organization plans to meet each
Thursday night for a time, after which
the meeting date may be changed to
every second Thursday night.
Several trades were represented last
night and good attendance was at
hand. James L. Donehue, who is the
organizer of the council, is proud of the
success of his efforts. There will prob
ably be another meeting of the council
next Thursday night, at which it is
expected, several other trades may join.

Street Commissioner Adair
Finds Some NewIy-Laid
Asphalt Inferior to Old.
HAS BEEN RELAID BY
CONTRACTORS THIS WEEK
The Finished Material in
Spots CrumbIes at Touch
1.-The Former Was Hard.

For the past few days Jones &
Meehan, of Boston, have had men at
work repairing the asphalt pavement
on Smith street, between State and
High streets, and by tomorrow night
would probably have completed the
task had not Street Commissioner
Adair discovered that the work had
been Improperly done.
Mr.. Adair discovered last night
that most of the new patches were
SO soft that man could dig a hole
into them with the heel of his shoe,
and this morning he gave orders to
the foreman on the job to tear up
certain parts of the pavement.
Some of the repair patches are
good and solid, but there are other
places where the asphalt is so brittle
that it can be crumbled In the hand.
The worst place is near State street,
on the southerly side of the street,
and this morning almost all of 1t was
! torn up in the presence Of Mr.. Adair,
who will see-that It is properly put
down next time. The street COM
missioner says he is glad that he dis
covered the brittle places before the
contractors had left town, as the
street would have been in a w-.se
condition than ever within a few
weeks.
Several property-owners on Smith
street, when they learned this morn
ing about the bad patches, voiced
their opinions freely.
Mr.. Adair discovered the trouble
in peculiar way. He was driving
down She street late yesterday after
noon when he noticed small hole
in one of the new places He got
out of his rig to examine it and was
surprised to find that he could crum-
Bile larger hole with his heel He
notified the contractors early this
morning and, after some argument,
they agreed to tear it up and relay
it.
