Pine Bluff Hotel Company Awards Wiring, Plumbing
 and Heating Jobs.
AW A RDED MONDAY
Pine City Electric Company and Rob. insOn Brothers Success
 full Bidders.

Two Pine Bluff firms were yester- day the successful bidders for work to be done on the new hotel which is being erected at Fifth avenue and Main street at a cost of $325,000, over a large number of bidders, several of whom were the largest firms in the county. The bids were for the plumb- ing work and heating plant and the electrical wiring.
 The Pine City Electric Company was awarded the contract for the elec- trical wiring, and though the exact amount of the bid was not given out, the work will approximate about ST. 900. Robinson Brothers received the contract for installing the heating plant and all the plumbing work, which will amount to about $35,00O, the actual bid not being made public.
 The receiving of these two big con- tracts by local firms will be g bene- fit to the city as all profits on tna work will remain in the city. The two firms are among the largest in their respective lines in the state and have received many large con- tracts for their particular class of work in many cities in this section.
 The work of excavating at the site for sthe hotel Is about completed and the cdncrete foundations are now be- ing laid, after which construction work will begin and will be pushed rapidly.
 All the best material and workman ship obtainable is being used in the construction of the building and when completed it will be one of the most modern hostelries in the south.

His Veto of Ordinance Reg ulating Traffic is Approv-
 ed By the Council.
ENDORSE AMENDMENT
Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company Pays $2OO For Fire Horse Re-
 gently Killed.

The City Council met last night i'll regular monthly session, but as many of the aldermen and the other city officials present were eager to get to the Elks theater.t to see "Everywoman the business was rushed through sys- tematically and no time was wasted in discussing matters of little import.
 One of the most important matters considered was the reconsideration oi the ordinance, passed at the last meeting of the Council regulating street car and automobile traffic. The ordinance required all autos to come to full stop when passing street cars, discharging passengers. Mayor Jordan declared after the ordinance was adopted that he would veto ir and the next morning he kept his word. When N,e ordinance was re- called last night the alderman sus- tained the Mayors veto by vote of six to two.
 The council also reconsidered the matter of regulating the use of Main street by the contractors at work on the new hotel at Fifth avenue and Main street. The council at for ner meeting authorized the mayor to fix a> line, not over fifteen feet from the property line, in which the con- tractors would be required to store their material Last night the alder men reconsidered the matter and amended the original order, giving the contractors more freedom in us ing the street at that point. The ob- feet in being more ;enient with the contractors was not to interfere with them in their work.
 The Pine Bluff Natural Gas Com pany effected compromise with the city last night by which it paid $2oC to the city for the fire horse, which was so badly injured when it fell 1n' to one of the companys excavations at Fifth avenue and State street re- gently that it had to be killed.
 A resolution, introduced by Alder man Hollis, endorsing the constltu' tional amendment. ousliaed by Mayor Taylor, of Little Rock, giving all cit ies of the first class the right to issue bonds for public improvement, was unanimously adopted. The council, .f the resolution, asked Mayor JordAf ito attend the meeting of the mayors and other city officials in Little Roc' shortly and represent the council al body. It also authorized him to cas his vote and that of the city councl for the amendment. Mayor Jorda' announced some days ago that he "a yored the amendment and that It would attend the meeting at the cap; tai.

The theory that the vice-presi-

John Adams was vice. president
1882 and 1926. Then he was
elected president, 1796-1800.
Thomas Jefferson was vice
president, 1796-18OO, and was
elected president in 1900 and in
1904.
The only other vice president
besides Roosevelt who was
elected president, was Martin
Van Buren,. He was vice presi-
dent, 1926. with Jackson, and
was elected president in 1886.
