Owners OF property on Ninth ave-

streets are to meet at 8 o'clock this
evening at the Schmid grocery, S23
Twentieth street, for the purpose of
discussing the materials to be used in
the improvement of the avenue.
While the board of local improve
ments has passed a resolution speci-
flying asphalt, considerable opposition
has become manifest among owners
to the selection by the board of any
particular material until they have had
an opportunity for a full considera-
ton of the subject on their own ac-
count
The owners along the avenue are
almost a unit for the paving, but they
feel that they ought to have something
to say over what kind of paving
should be selected, and with that end
in view they have requested the board
to defer for a few weeks further &C
ton in advancing the improvement.

Enraged because w. P. Murphy, a
repair man, attempted to take a piece
of machinery out of the place, Thomas
Da Lasal, who operates shoe repair
shop on Twentieth street, yesterday
morning seized a wicked looking knife
and rushing upon Murphy, attempted
to stab him, according to allegations
made this morning in police court.
The two clinched and Murphy was
finally able to disarm the Infatuated
Greek. This morning the case was con-
tinued until tomorrow, pending the Sc
curing of other witnesses.
Murphy repaired shoe stitching ma
chine and then demanded his money
The proprietor refused to pay until
he had tried the machine for half a
day. An argument ensued and when

OWNERS FAVOR A
BIG PAVING JOB
Think That Jumping of Con-
tracts Would Result in Work
Being Done Cheaper.

Between rs and 80 property owners
along streers wnIcn are scheduled to
be paved in the near future, met last
night in the Business Mems suite of
rooms In the Safety building and dis
cussed the suggestion made recently
by the Eleventh avenue owners to the
end that the paving OF a considerable
district be let In one job in hopes of
getting better prices through the in
teresting Of outside contractors who
now fight shy Of THIS city because the
Jobs are too small to make them worth
while. Last nights discussion result
ed in accomplishing little other than
arriving at the conclusion that the
proper means of procedure is for
committees representing the different
streets and avenues, to get together, de-
eide on a common material and then
arrange TO have the paving done in a
lump
Henry Carse presided as chairman
Of the meeting and tSe discussion was
general one but for the most part the
speakers gave only their personal
views as Eleventh avenue is the only
one that has named a committee to
handle the matter.
II was common belief of the speak
efs that tri-city contractors have ev-
erything their own way here and that
they are making paving very expensive
with perfect assurance that they will
not be molested because big contract
ors from other cities cannot come here
for small Jobs and make a profit. 1t
was also held that even the local paw
Ing firms could do the work cheaper
II the contracts are larger.
A member Of the board of local inn
provements in discussing the meeting
this morning expressed the belief that
the plan will not work. 'In the first
place" he said at will not be possible
TO get outside contractors who will bid
any cheaper than will the local ones.
Things are sewed up here so nicely
that tri-city jobs will be done by tri-
city firms The fact that the job is
n big one might bring about a slight
reduction In cost. though | doubt
whether II would be enough to be ap.
preciated by the property holders
However, ] for one, say let the prop.
erty owners rule in the matter"

HORSE INDUCES

A horse belonging to the Korn Bak-

on Seventh street at o'clock this
morning, narrowly escaping a collision
with a Third avenue street car. The
prompt work of Health Officer Allen
Pratt, who dashed out into the street
and siezed the frantic horse by the
head, probably prevented a serious
accident. The driver Of the bakery
wagon had gone into a residence &c
