GRAY made lengthy statement Of his

a newspaper last week had said that the
directors had scored opposition TO the
paving bill"
I'VE don't mean to do any such thing
he said. 1--WE don't score people because
they don't agree with us. The people OPP
posing the bill have the welfare Of the
city at heart just AS well as We who favor
IT,"
Mr. Gray is convinced that even II the
direct assessment bill shall be defeated
some change must be made so that the
directors can get enough funds TO make
necessary improvements
street Commissioner Pierson Is prepar-
ing a list OF cities where abuttlng prop
erty owners pay all or part OF the expense
OF paving and where the city pays This
list will be presented 10 the Legislative
committee which has the bill. Answers re-
ceived from some Of the officials Of whom
information was asked show that most
streets are paved IN those cities where
abutting property owners bear part Of the
cost
