OF A PAVING PLANT-A MOVE IN
RIGHT DIRECTION.
WHAT They SAY ABOUT IT
Leading Business Men Ard Property
Owners Express Themselves
on the Subject Of city's
Ownership.

Ardmore must have It's own paving
plant and put down the paving as ID
has been put down ON Main street.
and not in a ~haphazard way as some
would have &C.. The proposition Of
the city owning its own paving plant
is to be considered by the city coun-
ell to be held tonight and the Ara.
morcitc as per the progressive policy
of the paper made a canvass among
a large number of the best citizens
of the city TO find out how the ma
jority Of the citizens stand on the
subject of the city owning its own
paving plant and utilizing the city
convicts TO put down the paving and
paving every street in the city. with
but few exceptions the progressive
citizen favors the plan and those who
oppose the plan are m~ossbacks who
opposed the first paving.
Ardmore has the reputation of be.
ing n of the most attractive cities
in the state due TO her paving. and
with asphalt at our door the city can
own its paving plant a]ndoperate
it at a small cos, and pave every
street in the city.
This is what they have to say about
the proposition:
j. 7. Coleman think It is the
proper move We should make Ard
more the city beautiful and street
paving Is indispensable to a beautiful.
Clearly and attractive city.
+, b. McElroy-Nothing adds more
to real estate values and attracts
prospectors quite so much as paved
streets. by all means the city should
own its own plant.
j. +. Hamilton-By all means pave
the streets and give us a summer
pay roll. The city can well afford
to W a paving plalt.
W.. S. smIth-Put me down as one
who favors street paving on the most
economical plan and / regard city
ownership of the paving plant as
being the best plan.
W. IL. Bleakmore-City ownership
of a raying plant is a good common
sense proposition. Let US have such
a plant and more paved streets.
w. 5. Fraley-I am strictly in ia
vor of the city owning its own pay.
ing plant.
p. c. Dings-I I'm heartily in favor
of such a move on the part Of the
city. We need paving and such a
move should produce paving at the
lowest cost.
NJ. Wheeler-I am against II
such proposition for the reason that
the town does not seem to be COM
petent to manage public matters on
the most economical plans.
j. y. Hammer-Such a move will
be the best thing the town can do.
Give Ms more paved streets and the
city council has the judgment to
proceed in the matter in a way that
will be to the best interests Of the
people.
j. b. Boone think the town
should own all public utilities. | IA
yor city ownership of the paving
plant and want to see the streets
paved.
w. ID. Potter-Such a plan affords
an opportunity 20 get the streets
paved and for that reason | favor
it..
d. j. Treadwell-Giye US the paving

and let the city own the plant. The
plan is alright.
Joe Berkshire-Thc principle Is
right II the proper deal can be- made
IL is a good thing for Ardmorc.
j. y Inycns-Thc move is a good
one II the plant is bought right and
operated right.
VIM. G. Vernon do not favor the
purchase Of any junk. The plan is
good II properly handled.
W. +. Warren am strictly in IA.
vor Of more paving and ! am in favor
Of city ownership OF the plant.

of Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor Inman of this
| city, was found bleeding and uncou-
scious on the tracks of the NJ. c. R.. r.

1t seems that young Inman had at
tended the boxing match at Augusta
with several other boys from Hal
lowell and boarded the late train from
that city for Hallowell 1t is thought
that upon reaching the bridge Inman
had descended the steps of his car
and in some way fell from them to the
ground. 1t is certain that his head
came in contact with telegraph post
near by.
Ralph Dale was returning to his
home and hearing groans coming from
the tracks. investigated and found In
man lying there. supposed to be drunk
He notified several persons on Water
street. who found Inman sitting on
the rails in an unconscious condition
and bleeding from deep cash over
his forehead. He was taken to his
home on Water street and DR.. J. D.
Nutting, Jr., summoned, who found
him in a very bad condition. Several
stitches were necessary to close the
gashes on his forehead and under his
! chin. No bones Were found to be
broken but the limbs were badly
