.B|THULIT|C PAVING


the Immediate Installing OF the sewer
was tho lack of sufficient funds.
The sale OF property forfeited by
Glass and Fischer IN expected 10 pro-
vide the necessary amount for the
sever, but Mr.. Clark was doubtful re-
KardlnE the ability of council 10 dis.
pose OF this In short time, and
thought II more advisable 20 secure
The money before spending II. The
plan suggested was the re-advertisifa
for bids In pspara dealing with mu-
nlcipSi affairn. thus giving ali n
chance 10 bid. and giving thirty days
line for tie bids Ca be IN. IN the
meantime the preliminary plans could
be dealt with and the property IN
question SOLD.
W. p. Metcalf here inquired wheth.
or the storm sewer would Interfere
with the paving. and was told BY
city Engineer uiadding that only a
small pipe ON Second street would
be necessary.
In regard Ia the advisabllity 81 un-
dertakins the storm sewer Alderman
Wroth Expressed the belief that the
drawing up OF contracts and other
prellminnrles would consume some
sixty days and that by that time the
necessary funds for the sewer will
have been secured.
Mr.. stamm Immediately turned the
discussion 60 the bliullthic pavement
ruyinE that he understood Alderman
Wroth'a resolution for immediate ac-
sion 10 imply letting the contract 60
the Texas Bitulithic company, and
Or. Wroth objected 10 such an inter-
probation.
Mr. Stamm: 81 object In behalf OF
the property owners who will pay the
blu. This council may and probably
VIII do as u pieasss, but you win
surely hear from the people when Il
comes 10 paying s2.20 w..sn as good
II not better paving can be had for
$3.50. This II not threat but
fact; We must NOT start out in this
way"
