Veto on Streetcar Stop Law Sustained in City Council Fight
A heated council debate over a $500 check tied to sidewalk paving led to the mayor's veto of a repeal ordinance requiring autos to stop for streetcars. The council voted 9 to 1 to refund the $300 deposited by Jameson & Hollowell. the aldermanic board, 5 to 3, did not concur. The issue goes back to council with a conference committee to seek an agreement. Jameson & Hollowell were released from their bid as private contractors would secure two thirds of the work. The sidewalk contract was awarded to Southern Stone and Tie Company for $1.03 per square yard. The dispute also touched a fight over $500 for salt between the street committee and the aldermanic board. Several resolutions and nominations were discussed, including funds for animal purchase, park music, arc rights, and a central market study. An election of several city officials was held, with vacancies and nominations noted.
