Meeting of "Antis" Held Last
Night.
Business Men Favor Paving Jackson
Street from the New Union
Depot to Broad.

A meeting of the Broad street resi-
dents who are opposed to paving that
street was held at the Office of Sever
ance & Andrews last night. Some ff-
teen persons we're present, and the
evening was spent in talking over the
situation No action was taken. but
the meeting was in favor of resorting
to any legal means to prevent the
paving being done or the assessments
being collected.
Just what steps will be taken are
not known, but the attorneys for the
'antts' are expected to be NJ. j.
Severance J. A. Flittie, Harry Pad
dock and q. L. Schmitt. The attor-
neys are noncommittal as to what it is
proposed to do, but one of them sug-
gested yesterday that it was possible
that nothing would be done until it
was attempted to collect the assessment
=. The board of public works will not.
present an estimate of the cost of paw
ing Jackson street until the bids for
the paving of Broad street have been
opened. The Jackson street paving
can be ordered in time for the con-
tractor securing the Broad street job
to do that at the same time or imme-
diately following.
There has developed today quite a
sentiment on the part of the business
men in favor Of having Jackson street
paved to Pike, to connect with the
new union depot, and also extending
it to Broad to connect with the paving
there.
From the number of applications for
copies of the specifications, it is esEi-
mated that five or six bids will be sub
mitted on the Broad street paving,
by as many companies. The bids are
to be opened next week Wednesday.

Walton's criticism Of the way the park
boards resources have been expended in
late years. Mr.. Walton took he ground
that the board would better spend its in
come in keeping in good condition the
parks and boulevards now owned by the
city than in acquiring additional park
lands. Mr. Loring declares that the
boards course is the right one and that
it should be continued while land desirable
for parks can be obtained at such low
figures as now. He declares, too, that
there is no occasion for keeping the ru-
raj drives in the condition in which the
Paris boulevards are kept; that they fur
nish more pleasure to the public as they
are kept now. It. is also a question, hi
