One board member, having checked the employee, at many different hours from early to late, on four successive days claims he found that the employee had not put in more than three hours' labor in the four days. It was suggested that a team and hay rack with two or three men with big barn brooms could clean up the entire paving, system in a couple of days. The disposal of the dirt from Spencer's hill paving work was taken up. As the contractor does not have to move dirt more than 2,000 feet there was some question PS to where to place it. It was decided to dump it in the Center street city clay hole property. A. P. Freund was called and said he would dump the dirt in the clay hole without levelling for fifteen cents a load or at the rate of ten cents' per yard in addition to what he was receiving for the 2,000-foot limit.
