The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1907-05-07
carried. SETTER yotin. to the con-

Itrary.
A petition was then received from
Christena Bolander and Anna j..
Click, asking that their names be
Withdrawn from the remonstrance.
This called for the only really heat
ed outburst of the evening.
DR.. Setter arose and declared that
just before starting for the meeting,
he had received telephone messages
from these two women, authorizing
him to withdraw their names from
the petition which had Just been pre-
sented. He declared that matters
had been misrepresented to the wom-
EN-. Whoever had been working up
the new petition had told them that
unless they secured the paving, they
could not get water mains and o
sanitary sewer.
THAT was a deliberate falsehood
and Misrepresentation" declared the
doctor. I'VE all know that the petit
tions for the water main and sewer
have been granted and that the
street would get these improvements
whether the paving is put down or
mot. l would be ashamed to st0op
to such means to get names on a
petition.
Mr. Wilson aaid he hau no idea
who the honorable memter was driv-
ing at. He said that he had moth
ing to do with the new petition, so
that the doctors attack did not hit
him. He said hat IL the two women
wanted their names withdrawn from
he petition they should either have
5een there in person or have sent in
la written communication. Chairman
Rauhauser ruled to that effect and the
names Of the women were accord
ingly taken from the remonstrance,
Setter voting mo-"
A communication was received from
the Marion City Water company,
stating that pipes for the South Pros
pect street extension of the mains
had been ordered and would be here
In about a week.
Now that we have a written guar
antee that the water mains will be
laid on South Prospect street, my
thief objection to the paving of that
thoroughfare is removed, announced
Mr.. Carpenter. "In consideration of
that fact and of the additional names
now on the petition, 1 think this
matter should be reconsidered. New
er before in the history of the city
has there been presented to the coun-
council a petition for street paving in
which So per cent. of the property
was represented, together with O
waiver. So far as this improvement
costing the city some money, 1 see
nothing unusual in that. All i'm
provements cost the city. Men are
now waiting to build fine houses on
the street, and will do their build
Ing when the paving is down. It
won't be many years until the money
which the city pays for this paving
will be returned In taxes on these
new homes" " ri,9Rnn
Mr.. Carpenter moved that the paw
ing ordinance be reconsidered, and
Mr.. Wilson gave a ready second.
Dr.. Setter tried to head off the
reconsideration movement by declar-
ing that the same motion had been
made at the preceding meeting, and
that the council could not consider
the same motion twice. Chairman
Rauhauser ruled to the contrary, how
ever, and the ordinance was adopted,
Setter and Mason voting against the
remaining five members.
INo show that he had no intention
of holding UP other street paving
legislation In fear that his own pro-
ject would be defeated, Mr.. Wilson,
before bringing up the South Pros
pect street matter, introduced ordin-
ances to proceed with the paving of
Cherry street and. Park Boulevard.
He did, however, neglect to introduce
the ordinance. to proceed with the
paving of Grand avenue, the street
on which DR.. Setter resides. The
doctor for some reason neglected to
turn lose his fireworks. The Cherry
street and Boulevard odlnances were
adopted.
DR.. Setter, who led the fight against
the South Prospect street paving
from the first, took his defeat with
good grace.
"Dr. Setter Is the kind of a man
that's to be admired" said a men,
Der OF the city council, following the
meeting. "He stuck until the last
to the side he thought was right, and
when he finally lost out, he didn't
get mad"
