THE COURIER-JOURNAL. LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24 1898 ASPHALT Contracts Claim the Aldermen's Attention. THE BARBER BIDS REJECTED, THOUGH THE LOWEST EVER OFFERED THE CITY. BLOW AT BOARD OF WORKS. Alderman Dulaney Offers An Ordinance Limiting Its ContractMaking Power.

CURFEW ORDINANCE AGAIN. At the meeting of the General Council last night most interest centered in the proceedings of the upper board, where the asphalt controversy brought on warm debate, and ended in the rejection of the contracts of. the Barber Asphalt Company, although they were the lowest ever offered to the city. The excuse offered was that the. Barber Company made only a five-year guarantee while the Alcatraz Company's guarantee was for ten years.

This reasoning was persisted in notwithstandIng the statement of Chairman Grainger, of the Board of Public Works, that the latter company made this guarantee on a previous contract, but not on the contracts under consideration. Certain contracts for brick paving by La R. Figg, which had been approved by the lower board, were objected to by Alderman Dulaney, but were finally approved. Mr. Dulaney also introduced an ordinance limiting the contractmaking.

power of the Board of Public Works to $300. The lower board had a brief session and transacted little business. In the absence of President Blitz, Mr. Feeney was chosen to preside. The report on putting down asphalt paving on Fifth street was held up for a week on account of the absence of Councilman Herndon.

The Curfew ordinance was introduced and referred to the Grievance Committee. The General Council adjourned to meet again next Thursday night. UPPER BOARD. The Barber Asphalt Company's Bid Turned Down. All the members of the Board of Aldermen were present at last night's session.

A resolution from the lower board to appoint a committee to investigate the legality of the election of Henry L. Stone, City Attorney, and John Mason Brown, Assistant City Attorney, was, upon the request of Mr. Knecht, who said that such investigations usually cost much and amount to little, referred to the Finance Committee. The pay-rolls of the Board of Public Safety and others for May were then approved. One the most interesting discussions of the evening followed.

It was precipitated by a favorable report by the Committee on Contracts, Mr. O' Hearn chair. man, of the contracts recently awarded by the Board of Public Works to the Barber Asphalt Company for the improvement of Oak, Twenty and Fifth streets. Mr. Ross promptly moved the rejection of the contracts, stating that he thought a guarantee of ten years should be exacted instead of five.

He said he had done a little figuring and had computed that it would cost over $6 a square to keep the streets in repair for five years, which, added to -the $17 or more quoted by the Barber Company to lay and keep in repair for five years, would amount to much more than had been quoted by the Southwestern Alcatraz and Construction Company, with a ten-year guarantee. His motion was seconded by Mr. Dulaney. Mr. Grainger, of the Board of Publie Works, explained that the Barber Company's figures were the lowest ever quoted in Louisville, and among the lowest in the United States, and they meant a first-class street.

He said they were much lower than those of the Southwestern Alcatraz Company, although under exactly the same specifications, and under the same guarantee of five years. He quoted figures to support his position, showing that the Barber Company's figures on the whole work were $3,944.15 below those of the Alcatraz. He said it was a mistaken Impression that the Southwestern Alcatraz people had guaranteed ten years' repairs on the work under consideration; that had been on some previous work and that company had got the contract, too. The contracts were jected by a vote of 7 to 5, the vote being: For rejection- Messrs. Bronger, Doerhoefer, Dulaney, Herndon, Knecht, Patterson and Ross.

Against rejection -Messrs. Barth, J. C. Gilbert, R. B.

Gilbert. McCall and O'Hearn. The committee reported favorably on some brick contracts. Mr. Dulaney said he objected to certain contracts in the that had been approved by the lower board.

The ones approved by the lower board were with L. R. Figg for the paving of Maple street with vitrified brick, and with L. B. Robertson for paving Chestnut street, between Fourth and Fifth, with granitoid.

Mr. Dulaney said he wished to make an important statement before the committee concerning these contracts. He maintained that the committee had no right to report on the same night, but it was shown by President Barth that he was wrong, the charter giving the Committee on Contracts the right to report at any time. Mr. Dulaney sat down very much chagrined.

The contracts were all approved by a vote of 9 to 1. Ordinances were then adopted regulating the position of vehicles during a parade, regulating the stands of furniture carts and the public market-place, all of which have been reviewed in the Courier-Journal. As the board was about to adjourn Mr. Dulaney arose and said he wanted to Introduce an ordinance that had been defeated in the lower board to keep the Board of Public Works from spending money without the General Council's say-50. This he said with sarcasm.

Then he submitted the ordinance, which was to. make it necessary that all city contracts for $300 or more should have the approval of the General Council to make them binding. The ordinance was referred to the Committees on Revision and Finance. LOWER BOARD. Mr.

Feeney Presides In the Absence of President Blitz. In the absence of President Blitz. who is taking a vacation at Asbury Park, the lower board was called to order last night by Secretary Finley. The roll call showed a quorum present. Secretary Finley said it would be necessary to elect a temporary officer, and called for nominations.

Mr. Wherle nominated Mr. Charles Feeney, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. McElliott. Mr.

Cimiotti move that the nominations be closed. which motion was carried. Mr. Feeney was elected and took the the meeting was dispensed with chair. The reading of the minutes for on motion.

The semi-annual report on the Portland cemetery, submitted by Health Officer Allen, showed the receipts to be $99. The report was received and filed. Chairman Reiss, of the Contract Committee, reported. favorably on contracts as agreed Wednesday night. He said the committee had intended to report unfavorably on the Fifth-street asphalt Improvement, but at the request of Alderman Herndon, who lives on that street, and who was out of the city, the committee would hold up the contract for a week to enable Mr.

Herndon to appear before it. The Railroad Committee reported in favor of a switch for E. H. Bowen Co. across Snead street.

The resolution was adopted. The old ordinance empowering the Health Officer to see to the health of the city was re-enacted. Mr. Russman introduced an ordinance cutting down fines for bicycle riders without lamps and bells at night; also an ordinance fixing a penalty for insurance solicitors working in Louisville for companies without a license. Mr.

Graft introduced the curfew ordinance for Col. Hogeland. It was referred to the Grievance Committee. The board then adjourned. MAYFIELD POST-OFFICE WILL BE MOVED AS THE POSTMASTER DESIRES.

A Rule Adopted Covering Removal of -Bill For Gen. Buell's Benefit. Washington, June Post-office Department to-day sent notice to Postmaster Mason, of Mayfleld, that he was authorized to change the location of his office to the place he Park building. At the same time Postmaster General Smith promulgated an order of considerable importance which will hereafter guide the Post. office Department in such matters, It is in brief that a Senator or Representative can control the location of the office in the town in which he resides.

In other places when a question of location arises it is referred to the department and investigated by a special representative, whose report is final. This has caused many expressions of satisfaction from members of the House and Senate, and will eliminate the every four years change in a majority of towns in the country. Two hundred and fifty dollars for rent and $52 for fuel have been allowed the Russellville post-office for the next year. Gen. Grosvenor and Congressman Pearson, of North Carolina, who started out early in the session to repeal the civil-service law, have practically abandoned their fight.

Since the illness of Chairman Brosius, of the Committee on Reform in the Civil Service, nothing has been done with the various bills introduced for repealing and modifying the civil service. This is explained by the spoils hunters on the ground that they have received the chestnut tip from the White House that certain modifications in the civil-service law will be announced after the adjournment, which will be in line with their contention. The further fact that the large force to be employed in taking the eleventh census will be exempt from civil-service examination has also cooled their ardor. Then no respect is being paid these days to the civil-service laws. Without a single objection the House to-day agreed to adjourn over until Monday.

An objection would have been fatal, as there is not a quorum in the city. Chairman Cannon, of the Appropriation, Committee, stated this afternoon that in his opinion the conference report on the Sundry Civil, Indian and District of Columbia Appropriation Bills will all be disposed of by the latter part of 'next week. Asked when the Senate would take up the General Deficiency Bill, he said: "It depends on the managers over there. They' may conclude to wait till the Hawaiian resolution is out of the way, or they may conclude that more progress can be made by temporarily laying aside the Hawaiian resolution to take up the General Deficiency." Senator Lindsay expects to call up, if possible, before adjournment the bill authorizing the President to place Don Carlos Buell, of. Muhlenberg county, on the retired list, with the rank of Colonel, The bill has already been Introduced in the House by Mr.

Hopkins, of, Illinois, but has not yet been reported. The House on Foreign Affairs will probably report favorably the joint resolution to invite foreign Governments participate in the military jubilee to be given in New York by the trustees of the Red Cross Society of that State. A pension of $24 per month has been granted Alfred Elliot, of Pendleton county; $4 to J. T. Dailey, of Oldham; $6 to Walker Harris, of Lexington; $6 to Sam Bennett, of Daviess; $8 to Wm.

Gordon, of Lexington. Capt. W. H. Lyons returned from Covington to-day.

He reported to the Adjutant General and is on waiting orders. He has received no intimation as to where he will be detailed. The following members of the Kentucky delegation are out of the city: Messrs, Davidson, Colson, Settle, Smith and Fitzpatrick. The Post-office Department has decided to allow no more Increases in clerk hire. This is made necessary by the Increased expenses of the service during war.

The sentence of Harry C. Gibson, the New Albany man who was to have been hanged at Mississippi City, last Monday, has been reprieved by the Gov. ernor of Mississippi until July 12, the executive clemency having been secured through the efforts of the condemned man's friends and attorneys, Gibson was charged with having murdered Mr. and Mrs. John, F.

Parkhurst at their home, near Biloxi, last: 0c- tober, the crime having been nied with the most horrible and brutal circumstances. He was tried in the courts at Mississippi City, found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged March 8. A few hours before the time set for his execution he was granted a reprieve until June 20. He has all. along protested that he was innocent of the charge, and maintained that his innocence would be shown, although a few weeks ago he believed that his case was hopeless.

At that time he wrote to friend in New Albany that he feared he would meet death on the scaffold. Gibson left New Albany about eight or nine years ago. Two years ago he visited that city and stated to acquaintances that he was then owner of a vessel that he had been using in carrying arms and munitiong of war to the Cuban insurgents. The next heard of him in New Albany was that he was on trial in Mississippi for murder. AFTER NO SCALPS, But Want To Improve the Jeffersonville Carrier Facilities.

Postmaster Newton H. Myers, of Jetfersonville, and State Senator Ward H. Watson returned to Jeffersonville yesterday from Washington, D. where they had been conferring with the Post-office Department, concerning improving the carof the Jeffersonville post-office. They received encouragement, and it is probable that within a short time several additions will be made to the force.

The presence of Postmaster Myers and Senator Watson in Washington led a news. paper correspondent to wire that the two had filed a protest against Assistant Quartermaster C. W. Williams, of the Government Depot, in Jeffersonville, charging that he had discriminated against local dealers. Both deny this, and say that they filed no charges whatever against Col.

with Williams. In the matter of dealing local people they have observed, they say, that only the utmost fairness has characterized the actions of Col. Williams. Col. Williams has conducted the depot in a business-like manner, and he has repeatedly been commended by the War Department.
