PAVING IS BLOCKED
Mayor Declines to Sign a Con-
Etract for Twenty-first Street
Improvement.
LEGAL QUESTION HAS ARISEN
3 scause City Has Assumed Own.
ers' Assessments North of
Third Avenue.

Legal obstacles to the Twenty first
street paving improvement havS
arisen with the result that Mayor
Knox has given it out that he will
decline to sign contract for the work
antil all doubt concerning the legal
side of the question has been remov-
ed. He makes tAis statement not
withstanding that the assessment has
been approved and all objections
Withdrawn.
The point raised is whether prop
erty holders south of Third avenue
could not, if they felt disposed, refuse
to pay their portion of the cost of
the paving on the ground that owners
north of Tniri, except the Bur
lington railway. have been exem pied.
Owners of this half block objected to
the Improvement in the county court,
holding that their property was not
berefi;ed in proportion to the cost.
They set up the claim that the Bur-
lington road was the sole beneficiary
and should assume the expense of the
paving. The railroad compromised
by Offering 10 pay 5000 of the cost
and the city agreed to assume the
balance. which would be paid from the
surplus funds on hand after all obll-
cations on the municipal side of the
account had been liquidated, it being
figured that owing to the small eX-
pense attached to the court proceed
Jugs. for which 81, COO were allowed
in the estimate of the cost of the i'm
provement. enough and more from
this item alone would be left to pay
the assessments of the few owners
in the half block north of Third.
Court Amrms Proceeding.
City Attorney Scott is of the opin-
ion that the proceeding is regular aud
there can be no legal objection made
TO it that will stand. He says that il
it had not been regular Judge Adams
would not have confirmed the assess
ment roll. ut was simply a question
of assuming the cost of that hall
| block with the Burlington road OF
| fighting the ordinance through court, ,
said the city attorney, las the owners
| there were prepared to fight and had
| discovered a flaw in the ordinance
| which would have caused it to bt
thrown out of court. Mem bers of tn,
council kept urging me to push the
proceedings so that the work could b,
done this fall, and l did the best tha
could be done under the circum
stances. 1t was simply a question o
paying out few hundred dollars OF
putting the improvement over anoth
er year. But understand, the CITY
will not be out a cent, as the monel
will come out Of the amount Levied
for court costs, q proportional
amount Of which every owner on tn.
street pays, and as no one has OBJ
jected to this plan, and will not. as
understand it, there can be no lega
obs tacle to the work that / can see.'
But Mayor Knox thinks there is
Bids on the improv, ment have beer
received, but the contract cannot bt
let until the mayor says so. And
there you are.
The mayor seems to be determined
that his second administration shall
not eclipse his first, which was the
deadest, most do-nothing in TIE mat
ter of public improvement in the
| city's history up to that time.

An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk

tits now generally known and under
stood that Drunk ehness Is disease and
not weakness. A: body filled with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and graduating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
.cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GoLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery Is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands OF
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands! Children
Cure Your Fathers! This remedy Is in
no sense a nOstrum, but Is a specific for
this disease only, and Is so skillfully de-
vised and prepared that it is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
it can be given in cup of coffee or tea
taking it. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless REM
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge In
coffee or tea, and believe to- day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading Improve
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure
is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of every
body a treatment more eff-ctual than
others costing $25 to $50. Full directions
