PAVING TO BE RELAID.
Referring TO the depression in the

much commented upon during the re-
cent rains, the board of bond trustees
told the council in q report, which
was received and filed, that they had
been told by their engineer that this
fE due to a slight settling of the foun-
6ation at that point, the settlement
being the greatest under the west rail-
OF the street car track, and percept-
IDLY greater during the last rain than
during the rain before showing that
the settling Is still going on. AS
soon as it has all settled the paving
that is out of grade will be taken up
n r n - L. A.
at the expense OF the paving COM
pany.
The bond trustees IN their report on
this matter called attention TO the fact
that a. great deal OF excavating was
done on this portion OF Palafox street
by the telephone and gas companies
and the water works, and said this
sink, and possibly others, should not
be surprising.

proved, be accepted. The council in

the balance of the block with con-
demned new brick, was laid at a cost
of s1.20 per yard, Alderman Ffsker
wanted to know if the property own
ers on Paiafox street who paid for
the old paving were to DC allowed any
thing for the old bricks which are
