was again threshed out this week:
With chaises that there bad been
an unfair discrimination against bit
ulitblc pavement In the specifications
prepared by City Engineer Ouillund,
and approved by the council for the
paving work; with the defeat of ft
motion to reject all bids except those
for wood block and asphalt, and with
citizens urging the council to act fa
vorably to bitulitblc and allow the
will of the property owners to govern,
the meeting of the city council last
night was a very Interesting one.
It contained also as a little spice
some very pointed criticisms. Xi bid
was accepted, action being postponed
until Saturday night and just before
the meeting closed there was some
