RECORD OF THE WEEK

MIS-. ulln "a A1OOA1 was W. B
from Moscow Thursday to appear
before the city council to object 20
the building of the sidewalk along
the Moore property in the east end
of town. This is the walk over
which so much discussion has been
aroused, the ordinance providing
for it's construction having been
once vetoed by the Mayor. Mrs.
Moore contended that it was unjust
to ask her to built 500 feet of walk,
stating that only one family would
receive benefit, and that the walk
would butt up against private prop
erty, the street not extending be-
yond her tract on the hillside. Her
objections were entered in the min
utes, and will be considered at the
next meeting, when the second or
dinance providing for the walk will
be up for final action.
L. F. Eccles, of Dayton, was a
visitor in the city during the week.
