WANT PAVED STREETS.
PAPER ~ NOW IN CIRCULATION
TO FURTHER THE Project.
All OF the Property OF One block, with
the Exception ofTwo, arc wiInngl
90 Pay Part.

The enterplising residents of this
city, especially those on Queen Street
between Burke aud King. have come
to the conclusion that at least one
block of the streets of Martinsburg
should be paved, and they are back
ing their belief, bv circulating among
the property owners Of that block Of
paper, which when signed binds the
owners to paw for the paving that
win be put in front of their proper
ty.
The paper was put in circulation
yesterday by citizen who is always
on the lookout for some way to add
improvements to the CITY, and so far
he has met with surprising success in
his project. All Of the property
owners of that block, with the excep-
tion Of two or three land these are
residents who want to live in the
same old rut that they have lived the
past number of years. have signed
the paper The paper when completed
will be presented to the council, to be
acted on bv them.
When the paving project was first
started, 1t was thought that tho public
square should be the first to be paved.
Bv doing this the corporation would
have the entire expense and as the
corporation is ut present very short
Of ready cash. on account Of installing
of the new water system, this would
necesitate the borrowing Of the amount
that would he necessary. and with
this matter before them the council
decided not to pave the streets but to
repair them with crashed stone. The
property owners knowing this have
taken the matter in their own hands.
The corporation by accepting this
proposition will be at only one-third
the cost they would have been put to
had they started with the square. As
every one knows II only ono block in
the city Is paved IL will not be long
before other blocks and even entire
streets will receive the same Improve
ment. The cost of the paving OF
block with good solid foundation. a.
given by contractor. will he 50.
600. At this price the cost to the
corporation will be 81, 600 and the same
amount to the property owners on each
side of the street. This amount IL
not exborbitant and ii should be taken
advantage Of. Everv one should lend
helping hand to forward the project
so that our streets will present the
same appearance that the streets do
in other places of the same size as

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES
Receiving the Attention Of Mayor
Evans Wednesday.
Mr.. EMMERT DAZZLES NATIVES
And Then Has Humorous Interview With
the Mayor-An Ordinance viii
be Passed.

His honor the mayor Wednesday max
ing a friendly call upon the owners of
automobiles in Martinsburg for the
purrose of getting them TO agree not
II run their machines within the corr
porate limits at speed greater than
IL miles per hour.
This action on the part of the mayor
was the outcome of little difficulty
one of the local policemen had last
night with Mr.. Burkett Emmert. a
we'll young man of Hagesstown
and an enthusiastic and expert chat.
fuer. Mr.. Emmert came here Tues
day with his handsome and powerful
machine, and last night in company
with some friends he was taking a
spin over the streets of the city. He
very naturally wanted to exhibit the
pages of his automobile. and several
times turned 'er loose and liked out
down the side streets like runaway
locomotive. No one was hurt and not
the slightest accident occurred, but
Mr.. Emmert's course failed to meet
the approval of watchful biue-coated
minion of the law, who thought the
speed was decidedly too rapid for the
staid and dignified precincts of Mar
tinsburg. and greatly to Mr.. Emmert's
chagrin he was notified to appear at
the mayors Office and explain.
He willingly did so this morning.
and MAYOR Evans promptly dismissed
him. stating that there was no viola
ton of law involved. MIR. Emmert
had previously made inquiries as to
the speed regulations of the city, and
was informed that there was no ordi-
nance governing automobiles, and that
he could use his Judgment as to his
speed.
The whole affair was treated more
as joke than anything else, but il
resulted in the MAYOR starting out
this morning to interview the Local
automobile owners. Thev very read.
lily consented to the request of the
mavor. In fact. with one or two ex,
ceptions, there has not been any dis
position on the part of the owners OF
machines here to take ADVANTAGE oil
the absence of regulations to run al
DANGEROUS speed, and no accidents
have been occasioned in this CITY.
The ordinance committee of the
council is now preparing law to gov.
ern the speed Of machines within the
CITY limits. 1t is believed that 9
maximum limit Of ~ miles per hour
will be fixed upon. This is the limit
in Washington.
