Paving Question Will Be Re-
opened in City Council.
Contractors Think They Will
Win Victory.
STRONG ARGUMENTS
Claim That Expense to City Will
Be Small.
Twelfth Street Is the Bone of
Contention.

The city council will pass the pro-
posed pavement for both East and
West Twelfth streets, whether the
mayor is willing or not" said a we'll
known contractor today. This seems to
represent a. sentiment which is gaining
considerable credence in city hall cir
cIes.
It is not known which of the coun-
cilmen who voted against the paving
resolutions at the last meeting have
been persuaded to flop so that the
necessary nine votes can be secured to
compel the mayor to sign the paving
contracts. Until the proposed paving
comes before the mayor in the form Of
a paving contract he has no power to
veto it, but the law gives him the
right to veto a contract the same as
he vetoes an ordinance. 1t takes the
votes of nine councilmen to pass con-
tract over his veto. 1t perhaps viii not
be known which councilmen have come
to the aid of the contractors until the
vote is finally taken.
There are two arguments being urged
with especial emphasis by the paving
contractors in their fight to win over
members of the council to their sup
port. One is that the whole job of paw
ing on both East Twelfth between
Kansas avenue and Quincy and West
Twelfth between Tyler and Fillmore
will cost the city at large only $1,000
which divided over ten years would
mean a payment by the city OF only
little over $500 a year.
The other argument is that even II
the mayor allows all the pavement ask
ed for this year to be built, it VIII
amount to only S42, 000 while at the
same time the city will pay OFF this
year about $57, 500 of its paving debt,
leaving the city with about $4,000 less
bonded debt than it had year ago.
AS matter of fact, the west
Twelfth Job is an expensive one for
the city at large and the East Twelfth
job is not. Careful estimates made To-
day by City Engineer McCabe SHOW
that the total cost of the West IWelfth
pavement, exclusive of car tracks,
would be IS. 1922, of which the city
at large would have to pay $2,464. 46.
This is considerably more than the
average cost to the city at large for
pavement. The average is about 40
per cent of the total, and the boom
ers'' of the West Twelfth street pave
ment have been claiming that their
project was recommended by its small
expense to the city.

the Grand Opera House
extSaturday Night

The announcement that a star new
to this city will be seen at the Grand
Opera House on Saturday night in
play about which there has been
more discussion than any other drama
in the past twenty years will be
cause for general congratulation
among local playgoers particularly
when it is known that the star is no
less a player than Miss Isabel Irving
and the play none other than the
dramatization of Winston Churchirs
famous novel The Crisis.
Although Miss Irving has never be
fore been seen in this city her fame
has gone before her. Both as leading
woman in the famous stock company
of the Lyceum theater in New York
and as leading woman with Mr.. John
Drew, Miss Irving won enviable re-
pute as an actress of great personal
beauty and charm as well as ability
She has for years been recognized as
one of the most beautiful women on
the American stage, indeed nothing
but her own innate modesty has kept
her from becoming a professional beau.
ty. Miss Irving has, however, frowned
on all efforts to laud her good looks,
to be known as a skilled
and charming actress. The box Office
