Considerable dbcussion resulted
last evening. when the matter of the
appropriation of 895.000 for the pav-
ing of East avenue came up before
the Board of Estimate and Taxa-
tion {or action. lt was voted to lay
the matter on the table to be taken
up again at the call of Mayor Roblnfi

liam H. McMahon. who asked if
granting the appropriation would
interfere with state aid.

“The contract (or the paving oi

tween the city. state and the con-
tractors. The Otate has complied
with all of the rules or the contract.
The state paid no state aid in 1921.
because the State Legislature did
not meet. In 1923 the state paid
the sum of 36.750 and the state can
make no further appropriations on
the matter until after the legislature
meets. '
