Street Railway Asks for Permission to Use it.

Council Pays Nearly $10,000 on the State Street Paving Contract

   A special meeting of the council was held Tuesday night for the purpose of considering a communication from the Street Railway Co. asking permission to put in the ordinary T-rail on State street instead of the grooved rail required on paved of the grooved rail required on paved street by their ordinance. The company claim that owing to the condition of the steel trade it is impossible to get the grooved rail in time for the work.

   City Attorney Sawyer, however, does not believe in the truth of the company's claims and asked that the matter be delayed a couple of days until he could make an investigation.

   An estimate on the amount of work done on State street paving was presented from the board of public works and the contractor allowed the sum of $9,483.30.

   The bond of the Washtenaw Fair association for license to sell liquors on the fair grounds was received and accepted.
