Show PAVING JllINTED. A Gang of Men 8et at Work on Com-msroial Com-msroial Street by the Pacifio Asphalt Company. CHOPPING ARCHITECTURAL HEAD3 Soveral Ambitious Aspirants Hotifitd that They are no Longer in It Street Bailroad Extension. A force of thirty men was set at work this morning on Commercial street by the Pacilio Paving company of Utah. Their first labor was to clean off the loose asphalt from the concrete base which was left there by the company who undertook the job last fall and made such a brilliant fadure. By 3 o'clock this afternoon enough had been dons to give an idea of how the work will look when liuished. The methods employed differ somewhat from those used last year. The asphalt is disintegrated disinte-grated and cooked in the kettles by means of super heated steam and is laid on the base when at the consistency consis-tency of a heavy paste, to a depth of two inches, when it is immediately rolled with iron rollers heated nearly red hot. Tho company expect to complete com-plete the job in live days, after which the street can be thrown open to traffic atouce. Guillotining- tho rohlteota. The meeting of the joint committee of yesterday was adjourned until tomorrow to-morrow at 1 o'clock. Whatever action was taken during the deliberations of the several learued men, is hedged about with the most iron clad secrecy, protected with the latest improved Yale locks. None of the members this morning could be made to open their mouths on the subject sub-ject even when appealed to with the most polished diplomacy. From another source it js learned, bow. ever, that several plans have already al-ready been duly considered aud rejected, and their formulators notified that they might write "Dennis" in front of their names with a whitewash white-wash brush. The element of cost has not yet received serious consideration, the plans rejected being for the reason that they were not adapted to the site and the purposes for which they were intended.
