Busy Session of the Board of Aldermen
Friday Afternoon.
At the regularsemi-monthly meeting
of the board of aldetmen held last Fri-day
afternoon ibe matler which pro-voked
the greatest discussion was as to
the proposed Investigation of the pav-ing
of South Kim street.
All the members of the board were
agreed as to the necessity r>f an Inves-tigation
in view of the charges that
have been made as to the poor quality
of the work, but there was a division of
opinion as to Ihe-patSODUel of the com-mittee
to do the investigating. Alder-men
Hunter. Odell and Wysong took
the view that the committee should be
Composed exclusively of members of
the board.
' ity Attorney Btrudwick, who was
present, was called upon lor an opinion
and he advised lhat only a committee
of aldermen would be amenable to the
board and for that reason he thought it
advisable for the committee to consist
of aldermen. The mayor was also in
favor of this plan and so expressed
himself.
Aldermen Harrison, Brandt ami
Thompson took the view that the in-vestigating
committee should be com-posed
partly of aldermen and partly of
owners of property along Elm street.
They argued lhat the property owners
were very much interested in the pav-ing
and ought to be recognized.
Finally it came to a choice between a
resolution > Qered by Alderman Hunter
and one by Alderman Harrison. Al-derman
Hunter's resolution wan as fol-lows:
"Whereas, it has been i-harued by
certain citizens of the city of Greens-boro
thai the pavement which has been
laid on K in -ueet, is defective, and is
not in accordance with the specifica-tions
and contract relating to -aid Im-provement
•And whereas it is and always has
been Hie sense and desire of the au-
Bhoiitiea a.id of all the officers of said
City that tbers should be secured to
said city all th it it Is entitled to under
.-aid specifications and contract and
that said improvement should be made
in a lirst class and desirable manner,
and whereas the city engineei who la
and has been iu charge of said Im-provement,
has, in writing, requested
of the board ol aldermen that said im-provement
ne thoroughly investigated
and tested
•Now therefore, Resolved by the
board of aldermen of the city ofGreens-boro
that a Committee of three consist-ing
of T. J. Murphy, W. M. Ihompson
and O.C. Wysong, be chosen, that -aid
committee -hall proceed to Investigate
and te-t said pavement in a thorough
and efficient manner so as to ascertain
whether said charges are true or not;
that said committee shall have power
to employ at liie expense of the city a
comptleul engineer to aid lliem* in
their Investigations, if they deem it ex-pedient
so to do, and th.u said commit-tee
shall report the result of their in-vestigatious
to tin- board as soon as the
same are completed."
Alderman Harrison's resolution was:
"Whereas there has been some ad-verse
i niici-in of tiie policy of the board
of aldermen in ihe paving ol Kim street
and that the said criticism reflects very
seriously on the character of certain
members of said board and their asso-ciates
and believing that the charges as
made are unwarranted and. whereas
the public, the tax-payers of I his city,
who constitute and are a party to any
and all questions of permanent im-provements
and who aie directly in-terested
in the satisfactory execution
of the work now being done or cariied
on in Elm street and to relieve any er-roneous
impressions that may be enter-tained,
be it therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of two,
J. A. Odell anil M. W. Thompson he
and are hereby appointed, and that J.
R. Cutchin be ln\ ited to act w ith them,
whose duties shall be to thoroughly in-vestigate
all or any nait of such paving
as has been completed on Kim Street
and that the said committee shall have
the power, should they deem to the
best interest of the city's welfare, to
employ an expert at the expense of the
city, to a.—i.-t iheiu in determining
whether or not the work done is up to
the contract and that the said commit-tee
shall enter upon their duties at once
and report to this board In writing, not
later than April 21, 1806."
Alderman Harrison's resolution was
put in the form of a substitute for Al-derman
Huuler's resolution. Alder-men
Harrison, Thompson and Brandt
voted for it; the other three aldermen
against it. The tie was then broken
by Mayor Murphy voting against it.
Mr. Hunter's resolution was then
voted on and a tie was again the result
the mayor again voting with Messrs.
Hunter, Odell and Wysong to break it.
The matter which called for the next
greatest amount of discussion was the
report of the committee on a new street
from North Kim eastward to divide the
large block bounded by Smith, Kim
and Church. The commitlee wascom-posed
of Aldermen Thompson, Odell
[and Brandt. Mr. Thompson was the
chairman of the committee. He fa-vored
accepting a new proposition
made by Mr. J. C. Bishop. Alderman
(idell said he had just heard that other
property-owners might make a propo-sition,
besides he did not favor spend-ing
niouey to opeu this street when the
project for subways under the railroad
had never as yet been carried to con-summation.
It was finally decided to
leave the matter opeu until Monday
night when a called meetiug will be
held.
On motion It was deuded to bring
out In printed form all tht ordinances
and other information bearing on side-walk
paving.
The board adopted an ordinance re-quiring
property-owner* along the new
vitrified brick pavement to repave with
concrete all defective pavement.
Alderman Thompson read the fol-lowing
report for the committee which
conducted the hearing hearing iu the
Sewer Inspector vs. Crawf,,rd .t Pen-land
rase:
"Thesewer and plumbing commit-tee
to whom was referred the matter of
the order of the board served on Craw-ford
A Kagland, of Wiustou, to show
cause why the plumbers' license here-tofore
issued to them should not be re-voked
on account of the iucoui|ielency
of their foreman iu Gieeiisboro, respect-fully
reports lhat on the day of
March, 1006, in the board room iu the
cily hall, after due notice, said Craw-ford
& Kagland, and said foreman be-ing
Kpresented by counsel, and the
city being represented by its attorney,
they proceeded to hear said matter and
all the evidence offered by either party,
and now having carefully considered
the same, said committee finds that
said charge of incompeteuey against
said foreman i- not sustained by the
evidence, but it also finds that said
foreman has on several occasions been
guilty of insubordination, incivility
and rudeness toward the plumbing In-spector,
which conduct if persisted in
may call for further action by the
board.
"The committee recommends that
said oriel upon Crawford A Kagland
be discharged and no further proceed-ings
be had thereunder.
with regard to the charges made
agaiusl Bald plumbing inspector said
committee finds that the same are not
sustained ami recommends that no
further action be taken thereon."
Ihe report was accepted.
Alderman Hunter for the committee
ipl oinled to look into the question of
mi viiiL' the public drinking fountain
to a mure suitable location reported in
favor of East Gaston near Elm. The
rep-,-' WHS •> cepted
At I o'clock the board adjourned to
meet again iu called session Monday
night.
Water Works Tunnel completed.
Mr. W. T. Sergeant, chairman of the
water and light commission, was iu a
happy frame of mind Saturday, having
just completed the most difficult task
thai confronted him iu laying the pipe
line to the new Keedy Fork reservoir,
that of tunneling a small bill that in-terfered
with the gravity How of water
from the reservoir to the city. The
hill referred to is on the lands of
Messrs. Roy anil l.ah-er, and while the
tunnel is only about 850 feet long it
penetrates a strata of quicksand that
necessitated bracing at almost every
step. Owing to the character of the
area lo be penetrated it was found more
desirable to construct a tunnel than
attempt an open cut, and while the
work was made more difficult because
of the recent heavy rains it is now over
willi and the pipe laying can proceed
without further interruption. The red
cedar pipes used in the line come from
California and are somewhat of a nov-elty
in this part of the country, I ut
they are preferable in all respects to
most any other material, as they are
backed by a strong guarantee ami cost
but a fraction of what iron does. In
fact enough has been saved by the cily
to relay the line iu fifteen years if the
same should prove necessary. Some-thing
over two and a half miles of pipe
has been laid and the outlook is that
the entire line will be under ground by
the lirst of July. The new pumping
station is yet to be built, and while the
reservior. holding twenty million gal-lon-,
will not he completed before Sep-tember,
it is almost certain that the
city will get the benefit of thenew sup-ply
this summer by pumping direct
into the settling basins at the present
plant. When the reservoir is ready
water will flow by gravity direct into
the filters at the station in town.
