Mayor Eldrldge called the meet ing to order In the usual form and when the recorder called the roll, the following councilman reported present: Irvine, Walker, Drexler, Han na, Sperling, and Dixon. After reading the minutes of the previous meetings, which were ap proved as read, the regular routine of business was taken up. Upon presentation of a resolution rels'lve to Improving Monmouth 8t with hard surface pavement, Ex councllman Dohannon asked for per mission to speak to the council, whereupon the mayor Inquired, "What Is it you want to talk about?" Mr. Dohannon stated .that he wanted lO present a reuiuMBii aui:e aaiiiii j the proposed Improvement, but be '. was Informed that it was out of order. He Insisted, however, that It ' was In order to preset his remon- j strance before the resolution was adopted and rather a warm discuss- ; Ion followed. Mr., Mayor Informed the ex councilman that he was run ning the mee lng and proposed to conduct the affairs of the city strict ly to compliance wt.h the provisions of the city charter. j Mr. Dohannon then appealed to the j coincll, but the resolution passed by the mayor's vote, the council vot ing three for, lis pasBHge and three ngainst. ,Mr. Dohannon's object In j presenting his remonsirance at this time whs to prevent the employment of an e.iglneer to survey the Btreets at tho expense of the city. He claim- ed to have a large majority of proper. y owners on his petition. Msvor EliiridKe. In a brief address to the citizens present said in sub- stance: "Much fteling and bitterness , has been awakened In the city on ac-! count of this paving question and 1 I am In for much criticism. But I ' am not trying to railroad this or- j dlnance through and if the property , owners do not want more paving, cer tulnlv this council is not eolliK ' to i urga it. "I have received several anonymous letters, two of which are unfit to read. In these and in conversation my personal character nas been at tack.,,1. I want to sav richt here that I nm not ashamed to compare my past record' or my past character with anyone, and further If I were as low and devoid of morals as some of you who are fighting this pavement movement I would be ashamed to look my wife and family In their faces. "Inconcluslon I will say, if these condUioi'i8 continue I will promise some interesting developments be fore another meeting.." Most of the eveniug was taken up discussing the paving proposition, but when the meeting adjourned very little was accomplished .aside from adopting the resolution. . It lb evident that there will be no paving this season. It was expected that Railroad street, at least, would be paved this year, but it has de veloped since thomeetlng Wednes day evening that those coimcilmen whe favored the paving of Monmouth, K and Railroad streets, will not sanction any hard surface pavement unless the streets named above can be paved. , , : Mrs. Lucinda Baldwin has purchastl the Myers property located in the ; Vicinity of IS. and 6th streets. , This property is well improyed and con sists of a good house, barn, chicken ltouse a(4 a young orchard.
