sTEUBENvILLE, O., August 2l.-The
nroposition of Council proposing to pave
Fourth street. from the yiaduct to wilson
corner, at public expense, Is creating q
GOOD deal of kicking from property owners.
They claim that the abutting property
should nav the expense rs we'll as on other
streets. The trouble about this IS that the
abuttiug property is not able to stand the
eypense. There are only buildings on one
side of the street and they are not very val
nable At the same time if the paving was
done it would be great advantage 10
Steubenville in general, and make one oi
the most pleasant drives in this vicinity
At the last meeting of Council held We'd
nesday evening, petition from the Liquor
Dealers, and Saloon Keepers So
ciety of jefferson county was
presented, calling that body's attention to
the fact that certain persons under pre-
tence of keeping saloons were running
houses of ill-repute of the worst descrip
ton and asking Council TO pass an ordi-
nance that will cause such business To be
broken ND. This question has been aslta-
ted among liquor dealers for long time,
| their claim being that by the offer OF hcen-
tious inducements these resorts were mo-
uopolizing the trade to the great INJURY oi
the respectable saloons. The matter was
referred to the solicitor, with instructions
10 nrenare an ordinance, il, in his opinion,
he deemed it necessary. To a man up
| free il looks as if this was little sheme
on the mart of Council to shift the respon-
sibility ON 10 the shoulders OF Solicitor
Miller.
