The pavements committee of select council met lust night and In a session of two nnd one-half hours was unable to decide whether to recommend con currence in common council's award of the Mulberry contract to the Columbia Construction company. An adjourn ment was made to tonight at 1.20 o'clock, preceding the adjourned meet ing of select council. City Engineer Phillips was closeted with the committee who were not ac cessible to any one dining the entire meeting. Chairman Wagner and Air. Lansing favored linmedlute action. ll Is now certain that if tlie present councils full to inake the uwaid to the Columbia company the property own ers will not re-'ietltloii for an asphalt pavement. They will, however, usk for a pavement of brick. Another possibility is that if the award is made to tlie Columbia com pany, the Barber people will contest the uwurd In the courts. Air. Hock, general agent of the lat ter company, contends that the words "standard sheet aphnlt" In the pre amble to the .Mulberry ordinance huve been construed by the courts to mean pitch lake asphalt. He claims further that no mutter whether the specifica tions attached to Hie ordinance read pitch lake asphalt "or asphalt equally as suitable," the wording of the pre amble of the ordinance, which takes precedence over the specifications, means lake asphalt.
