PREACHED,
But Failed to Practice
Council Will Now Set an Ex-
ample For Citizens.
Especial Correspondence


Barberton, o., Dec. 2.-Some weeks
ago resolution was passed by the
Council, ordering the citizens on a
number of streets to lay sidewalks
at once. Most Of the citizens were
willing and ready to lay the sidewalks
rect grade, as there was no city engi.
neer.
Meantime on each Monday night
the Council talked long, and some
times the discussion waxed hot, about
hiring city engineer Finally Bngi-
neer Collins was assigned to about
one-tenth Of the pressing work. Mean
while no sidewalks were laid The
Councilmen who shouted INCREASINGLY
that the telephone company and the
n. o. I. Co. were not living up to
their franchises, neglected to do the
very thing which they had instructed
the citizens to do-that is, lay side
walks.
The street crossings and the inter
sections are to he put in by the city.
Stones were hauled and allowed to lie
Mt the intersections. Many of them
disappeared, mysteriously. Those that
remained only served as stumbling
blocks in the paths of Barbertonaans
who ventured out at night.
Last night the Council instructed the
engineer to prepare an estimate of
the cost Of laying the crossings and the
intersections.

HELD UP
TheChristmas Paw
Roll.
Council Had a Very
Merry Debate.
Mr.. Wildes' Bib Was Not Stricken
Out.

The pay roll was held up by Coun-
Gil Monday night, and in the process
of holding II up, members INDUCED
in some real earnest debate, in some
horse play, and others also gave vent
to some personal feeling in the matter.
The trouble all came as soon as 1t was
noticed that an item James Wildes,
Est Grant st. paving, $6,792.20," was
noticed on the roll, and Mr.. Sawyer
started the debate.
"In view Of the several investiga-
tions that have been made Of this paw
ing" he said, 81 move that this bill
be stricken from the roll" Mr.. Piske
seconded the motion.
Mr.. Martin--"This bill has been
regularly taken care of by the Com.
missioners. 1t is approved by them.
don't see any sense in our holding
II up now"
Solicitor Osborn Esgate was asked
for an opinion as to whether the Coun-
Gil would have to pay it eventually,
and he believed 1t would.
Mr.. Sawyer-"It makes no difference
what the Solicitor says. That pave
ment is no good. If the Commis-
sioners passed that bill they are fit
subjects for immediate removal. I
saw two investigations Of the Grant
st. job, and / am simply stating what
l know when I say 1t is not good. l
am not wanting to pay the peoples
money for any such work as that. The
plans and specifications called for a
certain amount of gravel back of that
curbing, and l believe it has been set
against Grant st. clay.r
Attorney S. G. Rogers, representing
Mr.. Wildes, was in Council. and he
spoke at length for his client Mr.,
Piske spoke against the payment of
the bill. He, also was present at in
vestigations. ..... ... ........
Mr.. Amundson had failed to find any
one who had kicked about the quality
of the job.
Mr.. Sawyer spoke some more and
Mr.. Wildes also made a few remarks
in defense of his work,
After more debate there came a
vote on the motion to strike the item
from the pay roll, which lost, Messrs.
Sawyer, Merz and Piske voting mo"
Then there were motions to adjourn,
and motions of reconsider, and motions
to get the pay roll through somehow,
but one of the motions to adjourn was
declared carried in the midst Of the
tumult, and the payroll was not pa ssed.
Neither, for that matter, was Mr..
Wildes' bill for the Grant st. paving
stricken out.
