NO PAVING FOR
INDEPENDENCE
Property Owners Remonstrate
Against Hard Surface
Pavement
Tho city hall was crowded with
citizens at the regular meeting of
the common council Wednesday evwi
Ing, and for a time excitement ran
high over the question of paving.
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

offered 'the house , to the Baptists
"as a .'parsonage , at the purchase

been accepted at the time we went
