The republican members of Fourth ward hit on Hubert P. Rich- ards of 326 Chestnut street as Mr. Stadler’s successor and his nomination being presented in proper form wa elected by the council. Mr. Richards was not present and was not in- formed of his election until after meeting had adjourned, New Members Pres When the regular meeting of council was called members swered the roll, including the elected members, all of whom present.

Councilman Landers on learning the names of the committees on which Mr, Curtis had heen chosen to serve seconded the motion to withdraw. Councilman Dolan explained that every republican had been named on two committees and the committees sufficiently larze, it would not be necessa to mname anyvone in Mr. Curtis’ place. Alderman TPaonessa thought Mr. (urtis a valuable mem- ber and expressed the opinion that he should give his services on com- mittees the same as any other mem- ber of the council.

The Lafayette street paving iob caused something in the w of ex- citement when the petition of protest nst paying for the job as it stands ade number of property own- ers was presented. The property own- ers threatened to fight it out in courts unless the work was done right Councilman Cturtis said he had accused of instigating the trouble matter of fact knew noth- it until he received the pe- to present hefore the council offered a wordy resolution calling reference to the corporation coun- and the board of compensation sment to determine the city’'s as it appeared to he threat- possible law suit.

He didn’t think the hoard of public works had gone on record as reporting the work un- finished. Councilman Curtis said in January the board of public works had reported the work done and recommended action by the board of compensation and assessment. Ald- erman McCabe declared the work bad between Washington and Grove streets. He thought the property owners had no kick coming until they were billed for the work, and moved Landers Sccks Opinion. veferred to a Councilman Landers Mr. Curtis’ resolution calling for legal opinion. He thought the coun- cil should learn how the matter stands. City Clerk, Thompson re- ported that he had a report from the board of compensation and assessment on the matter, recommending an a sessment of $1 instead of $1.50 vard With this knowledge Mr. Curtis said he would amend his resolution Councilman McDonough thought the whole matter out of order as the property owners had vet received no bills for the work. Mr. Landers ripe to learn thing concerning the matter as he feared the same situation might de- velop at any time. There seemed to be a question whether the city could assess for the work now and | then five vears later do more work and make another ‘assessment. Councilman Curtis said when people pay for a thing they have a right to expect their money’s worth. It ap- peared to him like the case of the ome- man who went to his tailor for a new suit. When he got the suit the ma terial was right but it did not fit. He urged this as a point against payving for it, but the tailor said the material is good and so is the suit even if the trousers don't fit vou must pay for it. Cooper Gives | Corporation Counsel s asked for a legal replied off hand that the double sessment could not be made. Such assessments as are made for perman- ent paving are figured on the increased value to the adjacent property. He thought the board of compensation and had that in ‘mind fixed the price at §1.
