MACADAM ORDERED FOR EAST COURT STREET. Street' Committee Hesitated Regard ing latter Resolution, Fearing a Remonstrance Waa Favored by Fee and Murphy and Finally Pass ed Will It Block Pavement? Sprinkling Committee Appointed Fib Gerald Olren Leave of Ab aenoe Dog Poisoning Waa Discuss edMonthly Reports Received. All street paving companies are now Invited to bid upon the work of Im proving Main and Court streets, for last night the council passed a reso lution to that effect The action waa taken In accordance with the plan de cided on last Friday night. The com panies have 10 days In which to sub mit their proposals. Their bids must be for work upon .the streets as they now are, and must also provide a drainage system. The resolution waa passed by unani mous vote of the council, and the foes of paving can no longer object on the ground that one company is being favored. Also, an ordinance was presented lart evening by City Attorney Carter, In which the specifications for the various forms at paving are given. However, as there were some blanks to be filled In, It waa referred to the street committee and will be preesnt ed next time. Its failure to pass last night will not delay matters any, as It may yet be passed before the bids are received. Improve East Court. Second in Importance to the request for paving bids, was the resolution which the council passed last night ordering the macadamlting of East Court street. The district Is from the west side of Vincent street to the end of Court, a distance of 18 blocks. It Is to be macadamised In accord ance with the specifications previously announced. There Is to be a concrete curb on. each side of the street, ex- t ceptlng In front of the mill property. Will They Remonstrate? When the resolution was first pre sented last night Councilman Renn objected, ylng the step should not be taken until the business part of the street wan ordered Improved, or the outside owners would remonstrate. A conference followed between' the members of the street committee, and the same objection was made by Councilman Ferguson and others. Will It lllook Paving? However, Mayor Fee and Council man Murphy both Insisted that the action be taken, Murphy claiming that the general proposal for paving bldn would show that the business part was likewise to be . Improved. The resolution was finally passed without opposition. It will be pub lished for 10 days, during which time the property owners may remon strate if they wish. What effect the East Court street action will have on paving, remains to be seen. ' New Grade for Cole's Addition.
