Change of Base.
The paving contract and report were.
presented by the road committee and
signed by Aylett, Quinn and Kane. |
Aylett, in moving that the contract be
made, said he had previously fought
the measure. His first reason was that |
the $4,000 wanted for paving all of |
Fort street was too much and the coun. |
tvs finances couldn't stand the touch. |
lie voted against it the second time |
because he believed it was going to an |
individual, but the supreme court did |
not share his view, so he decided to |
take the view of the court. He be- |
lleved now, that the sentiment of the |
public was for permanent pavement |
