FOR COURT STREET
ITS EXTENSION IS URGED BY CITi.
 ZENs.
Hoard of Revenue Receives Petition to Make it q Fine Roadway--Dis- burscments for a
 Week,

1 A petition requesting the extension of | south Court Street for two miles be- yond the city limits and bearing the signatures of twelve property owners, | was the Chief mattef in importance to | occupy the attention of the Board of Revenue at its regular meeting yester- | day morning.
 l Fred s. Ball. a property owner in ! the vicinity of the road asked for, pre- | sented the petition, which states that the property owners in that section of the county guarantee to furnish the l land for the road without expense to | the county.
 The two miles for which public road is requested by the petition ex- | tends from the end of Court Street to cross road running from Cleveland l Avenue to the Norman Bridge road. , Outside the boundary of the city, the road leads down through a gulley, which Is overfiowed by every rain, and frequently made impossible for ve- hicles. In their petition, the property l owners urge that the establishment and ma in tenance of such road will add a great deal to the tax value of the county.
 From the end of Perry Street, the next thoroughfare to the east, a we'll paved boulevard extends to the south for over a mile. It is the hope. of the petitioners to grade and i'll the. road leading south of Court Street and to make a companion roadway to that of it's neighbor on the east.
 The petition contained the following names: Abraham Brothers. Annie K. Cain, NJ. D. Bibb. Charles & Nelson, A. Gerson & Sons, N. Greii & Brother, Mrs c. B. Terrell, O. D. Brewer, Fred S. Ball, Arthur Pelzer, Nelson Harris and W. B. Howard.
 In response 10 the petition. 1t was ordered, on motion of c. L. Mathews, | that the matter be- referred to the | County Attorney with instructions to | see that all the necessary forms and legal requirements are compiled with, | and to report at the next meeting of the Board.
 l Another petition presented to the l Board urged the necessity of extending
 the macadam road from Pine Level, to which point a road is now being con- | structed, to Orion or to the county line ] This section of the county, the petition
 urges, has been without adequate roads | for years, with the consequence thai
 the farmers living in that neighborhood
 have been forced to do their trading
 in smaller towns instead of in Mont. gomery. The petition bore the sigma
 lures of w. c. Chancey, W. S. Parish
 David Phenix, w. F. Jackson, w. s
