 Concrete For Stanley Street.
 When the paving contracts were the do tions of the board of public works was approved in all cases except Stanley street. Councilman Landers registered a strong protest against using amiesite on this street. He said the pavement would not stand up with the heavy traffic and main tained that complaints were being heard in other cities about this pave ment. The residents of Stanley street want concrete, said MT. Landers, and it would be a move in the right direc- tion as the state now has a fine piece of concrete beyond Allen street. More might be laid by the state if the city puts in concrete between Hartford avenue and Allen street. Mayor Quigley supplemented MT. Landers ar guments for concrete as did Council man Curtis. It was voted to reject the bid of the Connecticut & Rhode Island company on this job and new bids calling for concrete will be se- cured Engineer Hall explained that will cost $1,600 more.
