<br /> yards ~
<br />square,or pav~ng is
<br />
<br />14~700; lineal feet of curbing, 7,800.
<br />
<br />Yott~ Oommittee recommends--
<br />
<br /> First. That brick, on a eoner~e base be adopted as the material with which to pave the streets.
<br />in m~king this recommendation we call attention to the accompanying petition: which was presented
<br />to the 0ommittee at its last meeting. Our investigation of the merit of the t~o m~teri~ts, how-
<br />ever, prevents us from rendering a re~ort in harmony with the petition: which we exceedingly regret.
<br /> Second. ~e recommend that the low%st bid for the best brick be adopted, viz.~ the bid of Lewis
<br />Lmwser~for "Mack Brick~ at $2.28 per yard~ and curbing at 54 cents, per lineal foot. Total amount
<br />of bid, $57,728.00.
<br /> (Signed) E.B. Hawks,
<br /> 0hairm~n of Joint Committee.
<br />
<br />On motions, the recommended appropriations of $1,500 to divert the drain f~om the '~atts prop-
<br />
<br />erty" on ~aS]ii.ngton street; $~,550 for et~bing~ud guttering streets in ~es~ Park View; and $25,000
<br />for a cremmtory were referred to the Joint Fin~nee Committee; and the other recommendations, except
<br />
<br />for pavia, were axlopted without objection.
<br />
<br />(~k%~. Withy excused from further attendance).
<br />
<br />In connection with the recommendation of the Committee as to the pavement of streets a petition
<br />
<br />was ~ead, from sundr~residents of Niddle street: and others~ to have said street paved with Asphmlt
<br />
<br />- instead of bricks.
<br />
<br />Whereupon~ ~Lv. Johnson moved that the recommendation of the Committee thereon be adopted.
