COUNCIL VOTES II TO
PAVE TWELVE CITY
BLOCKS this YEAR
Authorizes, Advertising For
Bids to Pave South Fifth
Avenue to River, Two
Blocks on Pacific Street
and -Four Blocks in Fourth
Ward.

Twelve blocks of street paving
will be completed this coming sum-
mer according to the present plans
of the city. council, which voted at
the adjourned meeting Monday night
to authorize the city auditor to adj
vertisc for bids. The 2sprojecL in
cludes six blocks on South Fifth ave-
nue., continuing the pavement from
Wisconsin street to the bridge over
the James river: two blocks on Pa
avenues: two blocks on Third street
west from Fourth avenue to Second
avenue, and two blocks on Second
avenue north from Third street to
Fifth street. The advertisement will
call for the completion Of the pave
ment on or before November 18th.
The vote on the proposed paving
project followed Il general discus
sion OF the subject Of paving, Attor-
1icy Harry Rittgers and y. j. Nicrl-
ing taking part in the discussion. Mr..
Rutgers represented the property
owners on north Second avenue and
said that he believed many of the
property owners there would be OE-
posed to the paving il the street was
not paved to the viaduct. The plan
as outlined in the resolution adopted
would give these property owners
pavement all jof the way to the bust
ness district, of the city by the way
of Third street.
J. j. Nierling spoke in favor of
continuing the paved district of the
city, speaking especially Of the fact
that the machinery for the laying of
the pavement is now on the grounds
and that this will undoubtedly force
other contractors to limit their mar
gin OF profit to the lowest possible
figure. The spirited bidding, he said,
on the sewer contract let at the last
meeting of the council showed that
contractors are anxious 10 secure
work and that they WereEwilling to
accept contracts at u low margin OF
profit in order to keep their men at
work. He also pointed out that the
acceptance Of the bids was not COM
pulsory and that they might be re-
iected by the council II they were not
low enough.

olution to appear before the council

cause why his city's plumbers license

Would the two wounds you have
described necessarily have caused
death?", the witness was asked.
