Hall Ave-Broad st. Paving Bids.
There are three methods of amend
ment:
! /. Adding new words.
2. Striking out new words.
8. Inserting or adding new words In
their place..
The amendment must be only in the
meaning of the motion and must be
germane to the motion. 1t can hardly
be denied that the paving of Broad
Street is entirely different from h paw

I have to advise you that no motion or
proposition on a subject different from

amendments of this kind might result
in a multitude of sins, as for instance a
resolution in this case to pave Hall Ave-

tisement for bids under proper resolu-
