Westrumite Paving Not Accepted.

The city council held a special meet
ing at the city hall but the property
owners of Sheridan avenue and oliver
street had the floor The vital question
was to decide whether or not to accept
the Westrumite paving on those thor
oughfares, which is now supposed to

some very interesting things We're said
1t was not necessary to let the matter
come to a vote as all expressed their
opinions freely.
Mr.. Salters. who represents the
Westrumite Co. of course thinks that
the work should be accepted. but those
interested, do not agree with him.
They wish to know the reason for the
wavy surface unfirm paving and many
other poor features of the job when
they are supposed to have a smooth.
clean street
Mr.. Salter said the paving will soon
become hard. Yes replied James i.
Nedjl. winter is coming"
Mr.. Salter suggested that they ap-
point one man TO decide the matter as
he could do business with one man, but
~ y o. AA4iEoSSAbAE Ii Ap business Win
one hundred and fifty. OF course that
is no more than natural. but the prop
erty owners are perfectly satisfied to
decide the matter as a whole, as they
can see what they are getting and if
Mr.. .'Westrumite" could talk TO each
one personally he could not change
their opinoin Of the work.
The heat" became so intense that
about 1890 the meeting was adjourned
and the paving remains unaccepted I'M
til it is put in more satisfactory con-
dktion than at present.

A lot of hue and cry is still being
made in certain quarters over the fair
grounds lease. which after being
amended, is identicaIly the same as in
the past. The fact of the matter is
Lake county derives no revenue from
the lease, as the rent money goes to
the fair society, therefore if the fair
society is satisfied, no one else need
complain, and it is evident that the
fair society is satisfied as they have al
ready accepted one years rent on the
new lease.

We are told that some of the saloon
keepers are displeased with the idea of
being compelled to close their places
of business on Sunday. 1t is no
worse for them to comply with the re-

any other business man. They ought
to be glad to get one day out of seven
for a little rest. If this is a bad law
let it be enforced rightly and the
people viii demand its repeal We do
not think it is quite just and right
that the saloons be allowed to remain
open in one community and not in
another. Let them all comply with the
law and not make flesh of one and
fowl of another.
