This in a few words is what the vot-

But the time has passed long ago when
the people of Jefferson county were in

couldn't be proven to save the necks of
the instigators.
The time has also gone when the voters
of any part of the county could be done

sure that the primary Monday will rep

PAVE THE STREETS

THE MATTER DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT

upon the streets that will constitute

ing district. which We're carefully in
spected by the members of the coun-
Gil President Turner of the CONNER
cial club and a number of the prop
proposed improvement.
In making his verbal report of the
subject Mr.. Thomson stated that he had
estimated that if asphalt was used the
cost of the paving would be about
$4,000. and if vitrified brick was de-
cided upon the cost would be 100000.
He estimated that if it was decided
that the city should pay for the paving
of the street intersections its share
would be about 2112 per cent of the
original cost or a total of $4,000.
AS some of the property owners had
requested that wooden pavement be
considered Mr. Thomson was instructed
to prepare plans and specifications for
that material in addition to that of
brick and asphalt.
The subject was generally discussed
and many of the more important de-
tails decided upon. MI Thomson was
