After spending nearly three days in
considering and discussing the matter,
during which time every phase of the
question was taken into consideration.
the board of bond trustees finally
reached a decision in the paving mat
ter yesterday afternoon, adopting
wood block, brick and granitoid, and
recommended to the council last night
that the contract be divided between
the Southern Paving & Construction
Co., of Chattanooga, and the Rudolph
S. Blome, of Chicago, the bulk of the
contract being awarded to the former
company. The recommendation OF the
board was adopted last night and the
bond trustees were authorized to en-
ter into a contract with these con-s
Germs.
According to the plans Of the board,
upon which the contract is based,
there will be $4,000 square yards of
the wood block paving at a cost of
brick paving at $1.s5 per yard, and
26,000 square yards of granitoid at a
cost OF $1.36 per square yard.
1t will be noticed, however, from
the report of the bond trustees to the
city council, which is printed below.
that it is the intention of the board
to use such Of the brick as are torn
up from the lower part Of Palafox
street in paving some of the other
streets.
