BITUMINOUS
Was SELECTED
COUNCIL, HOWEVER,, DID NOT
AWARD CONTRACT AT REQUEST
OF STREET CAR COMPANY WHO
MAY LUMP THEIR WORK WITH
THE CITY WORK.

The regular business of the city
council was taken UP after the can
wasting of the election ballots was fin
ished last night.
Bituminous concrete paving was
unanimously adopted by the council as
the paving material to be used in the
Fourth and Fifth wards. The property
owners of the Fourth ward showed a
petition Of 1896 feet frontage AMI
hey were DESTROYS OF having autumn
u concrete paving.
The pSving contract Of Steve Birch
& Sons was not awarded at the meet
ing last night at the request of the
street a company.
The Fargo-Moorhead Street Railway
Co. does its own paving between the
tracks and the local officials wish to
confer with head officials at Chicago
before letting the contract and to see
IL they wish to lump their contract
in with the city contract or do the
work independently. For this reason
they asked the council to defer letting
the contract until they could hear
from Chicago.
The meeting was adjourned until
Friday night to hear from the street
car officials before the council makes
its awards.
Many petitions were handed in to
the city auditor relative to the paw
ing proposition of the Fifth ward and
petitions received totaled 1852 persons
who were in favor of bituminous con
crete paving out Of 1894 people which
was a ruling majority. The council
unanimously decided to adopt said
paving and the award will be made
Friday night. .r
The city auditor was instructed last
night to advertise for bids for the paw
ing of the Third ward. The time fixed
for the receiving of bids was April 8.
City Auditor Orchard opened and
read three bids which were adver-
tised for the erection of a concrete
barn for the detention hospital. These
bids were as follows: Robert Ken
nedy, 1898; Chillson Concrete Supply
Co. bid $641 and Ben Tubinson's offer
to do the job was the lowest with 1924.
The bids were referred to the city en-
gineer and the health committee to
report at another adjourned meeting
Friday night.

Last evening the U. Ell A. fraternity
OF Fargo college were entertained at
a dinner party at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Aubrey Lawrence Of the
Blenheim apartments in honor of their
son. Rays, birthday anniversary. Mrs.
Lawrence was assisted in entertaining
by Mrs. Foster Paige. The table was
preftily arranged with lilies and the
menu was an elaborate one. The honor
guest was the recipient OF numerous
toasts for good luck.
The story is as follows: Julia, the
naughty belle of Rarnstapoole, is as
proud as she is beautiful. All the
sailor lads are hopelessly in love with
her, but she scorns them all. On the
" of the departure of the Bounding
Billow for a years voyage, Barnabas
Lee, a wandering artist, comes to town
and falls In love with Julia, who re-
turns his affections. The sailor lads
driven to despair by their rivals sue
cess, plan to kidnap Barnabas, stow
him aboard the Bounding BTlow and
carry him to sea. They are successful
in their scheme and the tewnsfolk re-
turning from seeing the ship sail, an
nounce to Julia that Barnabas was on
board her. In the meantime Nance,
a gentle damsel. is loved by Joe Stout,
Joe is as bashful as he is honest, and
fearing a repulse, he induces Bill Salt
to propose in his name. Bill promises
to perform the task, but unfortunately
he meets Julia first and makes the
mistake of deli ling the bashful
suitor'S message to her instead of
Nance. Nance on hearing of this is
heartbroken. Act two takes place one
year hence. The townsfolk are await
ing the return of the Bounding BiIIow.
The Barnstapoole girls go to meet the
sailors with a party of artists, and the
sailors are chagrined to find that the
Barnstapoole girls are apparently
quite Indifferent to their return. Bill
Salt has the unpleasant duty OF x
planning his mistake TO Julia and Of
fering himself in Joe's place. Julia
at first spurns him. but afterwards
accepts him. The happy return of
Barnabas Lee releases Bill Salt from
the moose he has cast about his own
neck. Joe soon finds Nance and ex-
plains the situation to her and all are
forgiven. The artists return to town
and the sailors and girls become re-
conciled. The scene ends with the
promise Of many happy weddings in
the near future.
