The council met in regular SEES
sion on Monday night. The paving
question was the chief thing to b.
considered. The firm of Hoge 4
Hicks, of Wheeling, were present
and gave much needed and import
ant information to the members Of
the council There were a number
of citizens present and the meeting
was held in the county coult room
at the court house All the members
of the council were present.
Hoge d Hicks have had a great
deal of experience in street paving
having directed great deal of it al
Wheeling, and in other towns. They
did the paving at Warrington and
many other towns in this state ane
Ohio Consequently they are au'
thorities on the subject. They
thought that the paving could b.
done here for dollar yard from
what they had seen of the town but
of course this was an estimate which
had not been very carefully made
However the estimate will not mis-:
the cost very far.
The only trouble here and thu
only thing that will cost much will
be the gravel. This is the problem
Crushed stone may be substituted
from the quarry on the West Side
which has been opened by Contract
or Mcdonald. He~has the facilities
for producing this at very small
cost and he will undoubtedly bid or
the work If this can be arranged
there will be no great expense con
nected with this part of the work.
A number of the citizens present
made addresses. Among these were
DR.. /. G. White, E. NJ. Grant, Rev
4. Price and Col. Fast. The senti
ment was in favor of paving and q
bond issue for the same. After hear.
ing all that was to be said, the mat.
ter was laid over until next Friday
night when there will be special
meeting of the council to consider
the matter. The solicitor is expect
ed to have an ordinance providing
for a bond issue for rect paving
ready for submis ion to them at that
time. This will be carefully con-
sidered and it will be ut in the very
best shape for the voters considera-
ton, As soon as the preliminaries
can be arranged this will be sub
mitted to the voters of the town and
they will be given chance to say
whether or not they want the streets
improved. Plenty Of time to talk
the matter over will he given and all
the information that can possibly be
obtained will be gotten by the coun-
ell for the guidance of the citizens
in making up theil minds on the
subject. At present there seems to
be but one side TO the thing.
The fire company was then taken
up and the recommendations OF the
the fire department were accepted.

members of the company who have
been serving The only changes are
to put new men in the place of sew
