The city commissioners are now con-
sidering the spportioning of the pave
ment expense on North Michigan and
Lsporte streets. They will have a
meeting in the near future, when they
expect to make the proper sppOrtion-
ments. There are several matters
which will come up to determine their
judgment. As residents on the east
side of Michigan street suffered more
from dust than west side residents, it Is
argued that they have received more
benefit than residents on the west side
of the street. Some think that resi-
dents near the end of the street have
not been so much benefited as those
near the central and in the business
portion of town.
1t is true that the business portion
gets the most benefits, bat it ls also
true that the street is wider in the busi-
ness section and if the assessments are
made on the basis of frontage, the bus
iness property would pay its proper
proportion. 1t would be assessed for
"a feet to the center of the street, while
the residence property would only be
assessed for twenty feet to center of
street. This would appear to be fair
division of the expense as between the
business and residence sections.
1t does not appear that the argument
as to the residence property near the
end of the street receiving less benefit
than residence property along other
portions of the street is very well
grounded. There is no reason to pre-.
sumo that the pavement will not be
extended quarter Of q mile or more
in the future and in that case these
properties near the end of the paved
street at present would be near the GEN.
ter of the Improvement in such an
event. The settlement now establishes
the expense of all residence property
adjacent the Improvement for all time.
These properties at the end of the
street could not be legally assessed on
the extended improvement in case the
pavement should be extended.
Hence, in justice to all, the matter of
proximity to the beginning of a street
improvement can not be taken into con-
sideratlon. As to the east side proper
ties receiving greater benefit than west
side properties, there is no question but
that the commissioners should give am
pie consideration. 1t does not seem to
the Independent that any great differ
ence should be made on account of the
arguments that have been so far ad
vanced. No doubt the most equitable
division of the expense of the pave
ment would be to charge each property
owner exactly the cost of paving In
front of bis property. No one can
rightly take objections to this kind CT
an apportionment.
The city commissioners are A. N North,
Daniel Harris, VIM. Kyle, VIM. Young
and VIM. Conger.

GAR FAMINE is IMMINENT.
Railroads Are Said Not to Be Accept
ing Ali the Cotton That is Offered.

+, A freight car famine is imminent in
Georgia t4
Complaints have reached the railroad
commission that some OF the roads are
not accepting all the cotton that's being
hauled from the farms. to their depots,
and inquiries have been made of the COM
mission IL a remedy for the congestion OF
cotton IN different towns OF the state can
not be obtained -
Since September 18th the cotton crop
has been rapidly picked, baled and placed
on the market. In the small country
towns the great professions of wagons
from the farms have come IA bearing from
one 20 1--WE bales of cotton. f~ taff
I. The cotton has been placed on the plat
forms ready for shipment. At some
points the cotton has been delayed for
some time owing to the inability Of the
railroads to supply the cars for shipping
It and at Molenas Ca, the agent OF the
Southern railway has been forced TO re-
fuse to accept further cotton for ship
ment, since the company has been unable
TO obtain box freight cars for hauling Il.
THE crop e is said, has been gathered
faster this year than in previous years,
and the railroads while they have put into
use all the cars available are yet unable
to supply the demand.
At some points in the southern portion
OF the state the condition 10 said to be
serious Farmers and planters have. It
Is said. great piles OF cotton ready for
SHIPMENT but are unable TO have q sent
to the nearest market on account Of the
lack Of railroad facilities. - .a
In answer to the complaints the rail-
roads say they have not enough cars. but
cannot afford TO secure more TO meet the
extra demand which Is constant but two
months in the year, and If they should
these cars would lie idle for nearly ten
months of the year entaillng a loss on the
railroads.
II is stated further by the railroad
oficiaIs that Il is of course to the ad-
vantage Of the railroads TO handle all the
freight possible, and that an EFFORT is be-
ing made in THIS respect ri-- e-s5 EHf
The rush of freight is expected to be
