WOODEN BLOCK
FOR SMITH ST.
Ordinance Introduced TO Pave Ii
from State Street to Central
Railroad Tracks.

Smith street from State street TO
the Central railroad tracks may be
paved with wooden block this spring,
according to the petition TO that end,
which was sent to the Board of Al
dermen many moons ago.
An ordinance TO that effect was in
troducod last night in the Board of
Aldermen and was passed on first
reading. ID provides for the paving
of Smith street from the aasterly side
of State street, where the asphalt
ends, 10 the Central railroad, with
crcorcsinate wooden block.
This is a distance OF five blocks in
the growing business section.
The reason which had been ad-
vanced for not having it. paved be
fore was that the sewer should be
put in first, so that the pavement
would not have TO be torn up for a
sewer. Now the sewer IFS in and the
pavement bids fair TO be laid in the
early spring.
4 Nari-Paycd Street.
If wooden block be laid on this sec
ton of Smith street, that thorough
fare will contain, probably more diff
feront kinds OF pavement than any
other street Of similar length i'm this
part of the country.
From Front street 10 Water street.
one block, there is Wtridod brick.
From Water street to High street,
two blocks, here is macadam From
High to State, two blocks, there is
asphalt. Beyond the Central railroad
the macadam extends for several
blocks and then the street becomes
a dirt road, out towards EagIeswood.

night, and when the rush was over
there 4 sigh or relief in both
houses nd adjournment until this
tlorni-., hurriedly followed.
1t was a bleak. stormy night, vet
the galleries of the house were well
filled There was strong impress
sion that the fight over Martins reso-
luton to amend the house rules SO
that measures could not be held be
yond four weeks, except by special
resolution, would be resumed, but
this turned out to be mistake. Mr..
Perkins was not ready to fight such
q popular resolution.
Mr.. Perkins offered resolution
that advance calendars should he pre-
pared each day telling the members
the condition of bills, etc., for the
day, a sort of bulletin of events. Then
he moved that the motion be refer
red to the committee on rules.
The first bill proposed into the
house was by Perkins. 1t was bill
regarding equal taxation, and it was
said by some to be inspired by the
governor, but this was denied. While
it follows the governors message to a
large extent, it does not provide for
the method of distribution. II COM
putes what is called an average rate
of taxation, and leaves the way in
which the proceeds of the tax shall
be divided up to the provisions of
what is known as the Stokes act. 1t
was referred TO the committee on ju-
dietary, of which Perkins is chair
man. The same reference was made
when Martin followed with his tax
alton measures.
In addition TO these bills Mr.. Mar
tin put in a limited franchise bill.
one on the taxation of public corpora
tions, one on the incorporation of
street railroads, one on safe grade
crossings and one amending the rail-
road acts of 1896 and 1908.
Besides Mr.. Martins ten bills, he
/ introduced two joint resolutions, the
one for the appointment of an insur-
ance investigation committee and one
arranging for the expression by the
voters of their choice for United
States senators.

land, introduced the local option bill

nights meeting, adopted motionl
directing the city attorney, who is.
as yet, c. c. Hommann, TO take the
legal steps necessary to compel the
railroad company to build the bridge.
City Attorney Hommann is of the
opinion that the railroad company is
legally obliged to build the bridge at
its own expense.
The letter from the Central R. r. s
counsel to City Attorney HommaDn
states it as his belief that it is not
the legal obligation of the company
TO build the bridge. He referred it
to the company's officials, his letter
states. and they said that they could
not build the bridge, in justice to the
stockholders. He states that he sup
poses City Attorney Hommann will
carry the matter to the courts and
that he hopes that the negotiations

may be reached.

Of the workers there who are now in

presses the conviction that there is not
