."" After hearing remonstrators
at the. special meeting last night,
the city council ordered: Second
street, and the Jackson, Monroe,
Madison and Jefferson intersec
tions, paved with hard surface
pavement. The vote was unan
imous, all members of the coun
cil being present and voting.
This order calls for, a . total of
sixteen blocks of paving the
vtfhole of Second street from
north of the Occidental mill to
"A':,;.;strfeet, 'and; four Jor .'five
blocks on the intersecting streets
ziamed. ; ;It - was . ordered that
bids be called for at once. ,
Personal Remonstrations
Those who protested against
paving . any . portion of Second
.strppt. ' rpnrosA-noH loco . tVmn
holders in the proposed , district.
Many of the remorMrators were
present and their , objections
were listened to and discussed.
C. F. Kempin thought the bur
den would be too heavy and that
paving would really lessen the
selling value of property.
Samuel Whitesides insisted
that the city is already in debt.
that such improvements would
make heavier taxes, and that
this will keep immigration out.
Too Much Property I
J. T. Phillips objected largely
because he had property on ail
streets that are to be paved. He
favored paving Washing
ton and signed a petition
for that, but he dislikes to be
stuck all 'round.
A. J. Metzger entered an ob
jection to other than owners of
the cost of paving. He was in
formed that no action in this
matter had been taken.
Detrimental to Occidental
G. O. Bassett, in behalf of the
Occidental ; Lumber Co. , spoke
in favor of paving as a general
' proposition but urged that a hard
suriace pavement would serve
tne mill a oaa turn m causing
. them to shut down for a time, in
giving them an unsatisfactory
street unless it has a flat sur
face, and would interfere with
contemplated changes and en
largemerits. - V '
A. J. Johnson, , in the behalf
of the mill, spoke in the same
strain.
In Favor
Pauline Kline spoke in favor
of the paving, but she wanted
all treated alike. She saw no
reason wh one person, or one
section, or interest, should be
iven any special consideration.
E E. Allen expressed the
opinion . that Second street is
well graveled and should not be
naved. He said that, if navino
must be done, let it be laid on
streets out in the city that need
it more. , ." , -.
" . n .! .. .
rass urainance
There was a full and free dis
cussion of the various objections
offered, -and the council then
voted " as stated above. They
could hot cut the paving north
of Van; Buren, as 'requested, or
south ' of Washington, without
cutting out'all of it, so the re
monstrators were overruled and
an ordinance passed authorizing
the paving. '
' Provisions Made
The Municipal Judge was or
dered ; to advertise for bids.
The " council has provided that
contracts Tshall ..be completed
within 150 days after being let,
and. provides $25 a day demur
rage for any failure to so com
plete work. The successful-company
will be required - to file i
bond amounting to 15 per cent
of the contract price of the work.
and-a certified -cft'eoSr foMive'per'
cent o.t tne Did must accompany
all bids! After sixty days from
the time the contract is let, 75
per cent of the. work finished
each month will be paid the con
tractor on request.
No Plan Adopted
The plan for paying for street
paving done has not yet been
adopted. It is expected, how
ever, that the city will issue
bonds, and ' give the property
owners irom nve to ten years
in which to pay for the improve
ment.

Dear Friends: Inasmuch as
am to cooperate with you in your
school work the coming year and
being especially desirous that we
be ready to begin work the firs
day of school, I feel the follow
ing answers to questions might
be pertinent: - '.
, The text books used will be the
same as last- year with the addi
tioii of the tenth grade books and
a commercial set of texts the
latter books to be chosen as soon
as I can determine the number of
commercial students.
All books except the ; commer
cial books may be ordered im
mediately through Mr. Woodcock
or , secured' elsewhere; - I urge
each pupil. to secure books at
once and have them ready to be

The commercial books will have
to be ordered later.'" V ':
I further recommend "and urge
each high school pupil to procure
a Webster Academic dictionary
this being a prerequisite to best
work, k; I believe a cheaper dic
tionary for high school work is
dear at any price. - 1
