Up IN THANKSGIVING
DAY.

With the reusa IL able proposition OF
completing the work within sixty days
after receiving the contract, the Attain
tic Bitulithie company at the meeting
of the street committee Of the city
council last night won the tirst fall in
the tight that has been waging for
some weeks on the contract for paw
Ing Broad street.
by the vote of eight to six the COM
mites greed 10 report ,faSarahly the
bid Of the Atlantic company, which
was $3.50 per square yard, as against
s2S3 bid by the Washington Asphalt
Block and Tile company. and $3.50 by
the Crawford Paving company for fur
nishing sheet asphalt.
There very little debate.
Messrs sullivan and Vonderlehr opened
the bids. They found only the three
referred to above, and upon motion OF
thic company was accepted by the vote
of eight 10 six

Noes-Fergusson. Gunst Don Lsavy
Jones. Powers and Adams.
During the discussion previous to
the vote the city engineer WAS asked
hts opinion OF the various styles of
material. and said that he had no eA-
perience In hitulithic. but had some
In asphalt blocks and he would
rather have that than the new ma
terial. Upon this opinion by the city
engineer. Mr., Gunst based the reason
for his vote. Mr.. Nonderlehr said he
voted for the bituiithie for two rea-
sons. one that he felt he was saving
the city lot OF money, and the other
was that he believed II a better ma
terial
Mt Nelson brought out the fact that
more bitulithic had been sold In the
United States during the past year
than any other similar paving material
by several million square yards.
Representatives Of the bitulithic COM
pany said they were to erect a hand
some plant in this city, and that this
would b. the headquarters Of the com
pany for the Southern and a part of
the middle Atlantic States.
The recomme ndation OF the street

likely, from opinions expressed by
members OF both branches, that the
recommen datton Will be adopted and
II the company can carry out its
promise TO have the work completed
Within sixty days. Broad street is
likely to have new dress by Thanks
