Liberty Street Paving Stopped

LIBERTY STREET PAVING STOPPED

An Injunction Issued Last Night

TO STOP PROCEEDINGS

On the Ground That the Petition Was Not Sufficient

The Liberty street pavement has been held up at least temporarily, by a temporary injunction issued at the instance of Mrs. Emma F. Peterson, restraining the mayor, aldermen and board of public works from making a contract with George H. Kneal or any other person for paving Liberty street. The injunction was served on the aldermen Monday at the close of their meeting. Previous to this, however, the council had ordered the board of public works to make a contract with George H. Kneal. The board of public works were, however, stopped, temporarily at least, from doing it by the injunction.

The bids opened by the board and referred to the council with the recommendation that Kneal's bid be accepted, were:

George H. Kneal... $25,074

J. Carland... 25,505

Harry Jennison... 25,681

E. L. Schneider... 26,258

The council decided to accept Mr. Kneal's bid. Mr. Kneal is the Lansing contractor who put in the Huron street pavement here.
