WHAT CONSTITUTES ADVERTISING
“Alt future eveits, where an admission charge 1« made or a
collection trfkeh is Advertising.*'
No discount will be allowed Religious or Benevolent Orders.
It is safe to st^te that long before the assessments
the sidewalk, curb and gutter construction in the local
district are paid, property valufes will have more than
taken care of the assessments.
*;
The w riter a few days ago visited some qf the street?
which are included in the district, and found beautiful,
modern homes without sidewalk, curb or g u tter in frbnt
of the property.
Isn ’t it time that .Ashland stepped nut of thU sphere
of provincialism and backwardness! IanH it time th at
Ashland streets, purbs, sidewalks and gutters fee p u t oH
n par with the progress made in other cities, m any of
whom do not have a foot of residence property without
proper street, sidewalk, curb and g u tter improvements 1
The council m ay be slightly censured NOW if they
order the construction of these improvement», but IN
THE FUTURE, their action will be commended.
Sidewalk Crossings
A complex situation arose a few days ago following
the proposed opening of an automobile salesroom in the
Mickle building on Main street, which would have made
necessary an automobile sidewalk crossing in front* sf
the building at this busy section of Main street.
City officials notified the parties th at they would
not permit the use of the sidewalk in this manner, hold
ing that a sidewalk crossing would be dangerous and
contrary to civic improvement. I t is understood th at
several similar requests have been made in connection
with Main street property, and th at each has been refus
ed.
The Tidings believes it would be harmful to permit
any sidewalk crossings, other than those already in use,
in the buspiess section of Main street. Aside from the
danger and inconvenience sidewalk crossings create, mod
em city building and street regulation ban them as a sign
of retrogression instead pf progress.
The Tidings is anxious to encourage the location of
new businesses here, but it should not be necessary to
sacrifice the safely and-* convenience of the pedestrians
nor one of the principles of city building to attract busi
ness men.

IMPORTANT COUNCIL MEETING
Tomorrow evening’s session of the city council prom
ises to be an interesting one, as several important quest
ions will probably be discussed and acted upon at |his
meeting, according to information given The Daily Tid
ings. .

A short discussion pf. the more important of the
questions which are scheduled to come before the council
is made in the following editorials.

TheJIaily Tidings is convinced that the city manager
plan, as embodied in the ordinance which bus beeu prepar
ed, holds possibilities of economy, efficiency and more
extensive activities and improvements, and believes that
it should be adopted by the council.
Normal Improvement District
Tn anticipation of the ojiening of the Southern Ore*
lion Normal school Jlere, a movement for considerable
sidewalk, curb and gutter construction in the streets in
that section of the city was recently started. Tomorrow
evening remonstrances against these improvements will
be heard by the city council.
I There may he many protests registered by the prop
erty owners who will be assessed for the improvements,
but The Daily Tidings hoi»es that these protests will be
few and that even these few remonstrator^ may bç per-
suuded to approve the movement and thus bring about
the construction with no friction. •
—T*Tliuni ttpi* nranv tmhbtoi wttjr these improvement?
should be made—greater beauty, convenience and in-,
creased property values, are a few.
♦
The protests seem to hinge mainly about thé belief
that the costs will be prohibitive ttf sonic of the property
owners. If the property owners who hold this as the main
reason for their protest would carefully’ investigate the
results which follow such improvemeqtsr they would no
doubt find that in practically all cÀses the increased value
of the property due to the improvements more thaiÿ offset?
the small cost of the improvements.
The situation here is unique in that almost coin
cident with the making of these improvements there will
be opened the normal school.
