paving and curbing waa forgotten entirely,
and slipped Into obecurlty without being

The disoorery wa made ywetero'ay that
the contract was let at th meeting Mon
day night for the curbing and paving of
Twelfth, street, between Broadway and
Pecond avenue, when tha street waa paved
and curbed seventeen year ago. The fre

th paving. When the workmen began to
excavate for the curbing they uncovered
a aectloa of flrat-ciaee artificial eton
curbing. Th line wa traced th full
length ef the street on the east Ml a
Ftmllar Investigation disclosed th same
condition on th opposite aide. Th dirt
was hevld away from tha baa af the

thoroughly retted away. Th eurbing.
however, waa in flret elaea shape for th
