Ask Paving Bids
On Rural Roads
Bids are to be advertised by
the county court on the cost of
paving of Brenna and Jelden
avenues and 34th street north
east of the city, the first of such
bids to be advertised under a
new law of the last legislature
allowing platted and dedicated
roads not county roads but lying
outside of cities to be paved at
the cost of the abutting property
owners.
Already a hearing has been
had for property owners at
which cost estimates as arrived
at by the surveyor and engineer
were furnished. When bids are
in and before any contract is
awarded another hearing will be
held at which property owners
may express themselves again
and if the costs prove to be ex
cessive in the minds of the prop
erty owners the court has re
served the right to reject the bids
and abandon the proposed im
provement Some opposition was shown
on one street at the recent hear
ing by a property owner based
on the fact that the county will
not maintain the roads after
they are built.

that all further search was or

tainty that an error in identifi

LI was in a hospital in this British colony. He complained of
a serious stomach ailment. He flew in yesterday without return
ing to Chungking where Chiang-
has awaited him for days.
The generalissimo had gone to
the nationalist refugee capital,
now seriously threatened by the
Chinese communists, at Li's re
quest. He found LI gone on in
spection tour of the nationalists'
dwindling southwestern China
domain.
They have had many differ
ences since Li took over the
presidency last January when
Chiang "retired." Out of these
has developed a deepening
cleavage over basic conduct of
the Civil war against the reds
Chiang, still the dominant
power in the ailing nationalist
machinery, has prevailed with
a policy of withdrawing before
the advancing reds, of trading
space for time He has been rep
resented often as believing a
third world war would come in
time for the United States to
restore his regime to dominance
Li. on the other hand, has fa
vored risking all on a decisive
military stand against the reds
Li turned his job over to
Premier Yen Hsi-Shan before
he entered Taiwoo nursing home
here. But he said he was not
shirking his duty on the pretext
of illness and hoped to get hack
soon "to devote myself to the
anti-communist war "
The Hong Kong press had
other ideas. The Chir.p Mail
quoted sources close to Li as say
ing he might go to the United
States soon. The independent
Chinese newspaper Wah Kiu Yat
Po predicted the breach between
Li and Chiang had gone too far
ever to be mended. The paper
added Chiang would openly take
over the nationalist government
again.
