FOR FIRST TIME
IN BARRACKS
CITY COUNCIL WILL MEET.
CASTOR STREET PAVING oRDI-
NANCE WILL BE REPEALED.

Not Known whether Asphalt Ordi-
Street-RepeaIing of Brick Ordi-
nance Takes Injunction Proceed
tnEs ont of the COurts-Conference
with Military and County OH
Perry Street Matter-Gasoline Or
dinance VIII Pass.
At the meeting of City Council to-
night the first to be held in the Police
Court room, the ordinance repeating
the CASTOR street paving will be read
for the second time and passed.
This will leave the street in the same
condition it was in before the ordi-
nance for the brick pavement was
| passed. The repeating of the paving
ordinance takes the case Of the prop
| erty owners along the street out of
court.
A new paving ordinance Is now in
order, though it is not known whether
one will be introduced at the meeting
tonight. An ordinance providing for
the paving of the street with asphalt
will doubtless be introduced some time
in the near future, but there promises
to be a hard fight over it's passage. 1t
is doubtful if the requisite two-thirds
vote can be obtained, and the chances
are the street will be left just as it is
for some time to come.
Conference over Perry Street.
The special committee appointed to
consider the petition of the Interstate
Military Rifle Association. asking for
the prolongation of Perry street so that
a good road may be obtained to the
new Avondale Range, will make it's re-
pert. The committee has not yet for
mulated its report, as there will be a
meeting this afternoon at the Court
House to consider the matter with the
county commissioners
1t is thought the committee will
make a favorable report and that Coun-
ell will aSree to the desired improve
ment. Al the meeting between the
Council committee and the commits
sioners. the matter will be gone into
thoroughly The Rifle Association has
also filed a petition with the commits
sioners. The plan is for the CITY to
extend Perry street to Bilbo canal, and
the county construct a hardened road
way from the canal in an easterly di-
rection to Caustop Bluff road and that
ROAD De ndTQeleQ TO IH6 range. II
is believed both the city and the coun-
ty will agree to the plan. Indeed, some
of the officials have already committed
themselves to it.
Will Pass Gasoline Ordinance.
The gasoline ordinance will come up
and be placed upon it's passage. 1t
is thought it will be passed without
a dissenting vote. AT the last meet
ing the ordinance was tabled to allow
any one who objected to it to file a
complaint. No complaints have been
received and the ordinance will be pass
ed
The objection which the Lutheran
Church of the Ascension filed with
Council to the paving of State street
from Bull to Drayton will be with
drawn. The ordinance providing for
the paving of this block will then be
passed. A
Two Paving Ordinances.
There are two other paving ordi-
nances that will be read for the second
time and passed. One provides FOR
the paving of Habersham street from
Henry to Thirty-first. and the other
for the paving of Thirty-first from
Habersham to West Broad.
The indications are that the meet
ing win be a short one, as two Of
three of the aldermen will be absent
and there is not a great deal to come
up.
