THURSDAY, MAY 18TH.
At the regular meeting yesterday the
matter of awarding the bids for street
resnrfacing was taken up and after q
report from Engineer Weir as to the
number of feet of sewer and water pip
ing, MI. Ryan moved to award both
contracts to Mr.. Kalback. The New
ton Paving Company's representative,
a Philadelphia attorney, digested the
specifications by paragraphs, interpret
ing their conception of the same when
making their bid. Mr.. Hand said both
parties had the privilege of informing
themselves fully as to what the con-
ditions were before bidding. The Mayor
said the cost Of the sewers, ETC., under
Kalbach's bid would come out of the
taxpayers and he was opposed to grant
ing it. Mr.. Hand said 1t wouli not
in his judgment. Mr.. Ryan having
moved to accept the Kalbach bid, it
was put to a vote and carried, the
Mayor voting against it. 1t was pro-
posed not to start work until about
September |, as water pipes had to be
laid before the streets could be repaved
and e would Inconvenience the sum-
mer Visitors, but this was objected to
and work will start at once and must
be completed within thirty days.
Bar stand sites was next taken pp
ano discussed. Mr.. Ryan said nothing
could be done in the way Of using city
funds for building purposes unless put
to a vote of the people which would
take too much time. Mr.. Baker again
offered his proposition at Schellenger
avenue and said he would vacate to
the city. Mr.. Ryan proposed that 1t
would be best, In his judgment, to
condemn property at a specified street
end and build a creditable music audi
forum. Mr.. Huppert said 1t vas USE
less to charge admission to the public,
as 1t would tend to belittling the resort.
MI. Baker stated that what was need
ed was cooperation and the entire for
getfullness of self In a general upllft of
the conditions here before us. Mr..
Wright said a suitable building could
be built by the middle OF June, that is
the exterior and then finish the interior
by degrees. MI. Ryan proposed that
the band stand be In the same place it
was last year for this season as 1t was
to late to build now and take the on
vention hall matter up later for next
season. Mr.. Sweet suggested building,
charging no admission, but II dancing
was INDUCED in a certain price could
be collected. Frank Donado, manager
for Tasca and his Italian band, offered
to furnish twenty musicians and would
come on two weeks trial. His charges
were $18 per week for the men and $36
per week for the leader. He fully
guarantees the morals and proficiency
of this band.
An ordinance regulating license fees
to be charged was passed. Clerk was
instructed to advertise for bids to con-
struct a sewage disposal plant. All
bids are to be in by Tuesday, June Ist,
