miles, for the outside twenty-five, for
street crossings ten. for the upper por-
ton of the Pail road fifteen, while "a
reasonable speed" is prescribed for all
places where the public safety re-

which is his compensation, from s. to

The plumbing ordinance and the or

An application from Mr.. Harrub
and his associates for permission to
have an automobile stand at the cor
ner of King and Bishop streets caus-
ed warm discussion between Chair
man Quinn of the road committee and
: W.T. Rawlins, attorney FOR the appli-
cants.
Quinn moved that the matter be
referred to the road committee, men
j, tioning that there was no automobile
: law since Judge Andrade had that day
declared the county ordinance null
y and void.
- Rawlins then announced his appear
ance for the applicants, saying that
p it was the Boards duty to take inn
mediate action.
Quinn spoke of "a paid lawyer" and,
in taking a stand for reference to
committee, made it clear that he would
never consent to having an automo-
bile stand on Bishop street.
Rawlins retorted warmly to the per-
sonal allusion, claimed that his clients
. had a right TO what they asked and
E. instructed the members in general and
lie Quinn in particular on their respon-
% sibility to the voters.
- The other supervisors discussed the
application on its merits, all OF them
We being DESTROYS of giving the appli-
De cants some place for a stand, but at
a. least two of them supporting the pro

o. lost on a tie vote-Aylett. Logan anC
h. Quinn in the affirmative, and AHA
