adopted  by  the  city  council  was  sufficient  to  confel*  jurisdiction
upon  the  city  council  to  repair  the  surface  of  all  the  wood  block
6.  MuNioiPAi  COR.  Paving  on  Mam  Street,  and  Qrand  Avenue  by
fi?'uS?o'vem?nto:  V^^^g  thcrcon  a  coating  of  pitch.    The  undis-
riM^  '"ir^!r^    puted  evidence  shows  that  pitch  was  not  used
larity."  f^j.  ^j^g  purposc  of  surfaciug  all  the  wood  block

paving  upon  these  two  streets;  but  that,  on  the  contrary,  they
were  covered  with  a  coating  of  oil.  The  record  shows  that  pitch
was  used  to  a  certain  extent  in  the  laying  of  the  wood  block
paving,  but  when  so  used,  it  was  used  as  a  base  in  which  the  wood
blocks  were  placed ;  but  it  was  not  used  for  the  purpose  of  sur-
facing, as  provided  by  the  resolution  of  necessity,  except  where
wood  blocks  were  relaid.
