COMES
IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN
BROAD STREET
WORK DELAYED
Deadlock Between Council Com
mittees Ties Up Great
Public Project.

Members OF the Committee on
Finance assert that there is no chance
of securing prompt action on the
resolution introduced by Morgan K.
Mills on Monday night In the Com
mon Council proposing an appropriation
of $4,000 for smooth paving BROAD
Street. Funds have not yet been pro-
vided for laying the proposed deep
sewer on Broad street along the north
side from Ninth to Adams, and until
that piece of necessary construction
is completed the City Engineer says il
would be folly to attempt to improve
the surface. The excavations for the
underground conduits for the Broad
Street lighting system will soon be
completed. and II the Finance Com
mittee will provide the money for
the Broad Street sewer. or permit OF
Its being built out of the bond issue
for sewers, although 1t was not speci-
tically listed when that issue was
made. the work of repaving the sur
face of the street could probably be
undertaken next spring. and pushed
during the dull summer months.
1t will probably be necessary to raise
tho car tracks In some places in order
to secure the proper arching and drain
age of the surface.
AS matter OF fact the construction
of this sewer and the consequent tying
up OF all the improvements of Broad
Street for the past year. have been due
to deadlock between the Committees
on Streets and on Finance. The
Finance Committee holds that the
street Committee might have built the
sewer from the annual sewer appro-
priation. The Street Committee had
other uses for that fund. and has per-
sisiently asked a special appropriation
Tor the sewer in Broad street. which
the FINANCE Committee has so far
failed to grant. The cost will NOT az.
coed $4,000. but meanwhile the en-
terprise for making a great thorough

CITY USING RED MUD
TO GRAVEL STREETS
POLICE PICNIC
SHOWS PROFIT.
Veteran Officers May Now Be
Retired on Funds of Benevo-
lent Association.

Characterizing it as the best and
most largely attended barbecue and
picnic it has ever had. the board Of
directors of the Police Benevolent AS
sociation last night handed in its re-
port TO the quarterly meeting of the
association.
The picnic was held on July 81 OF
this year at the State Fair Grounds.
The report shows that the number OF
admissions was 1852, the largest in
the history of the association The
receipts amounted to s2,439.50, and the
expenses to s771.71, leaving a net bal
ance of s1,66T,19. That amount was
turned over TO the secretary and
placed in bank TO the credit of the as
ISOLATION. The report closes by saying
that the barbecue showed the best re-
suits ever obtained and stated that the
barbecues We're growing in popularity,
a statement easily attested to by those
who witnessed the number of dishes
of Baby" Redfords Brunswick stew
handed out TO hungry citizens.
The fund of the Police Benevolent
Association, which Is used for the main
tenance of retired officers, is increasing
steadily every year, and there are now
several retired members of the police
force who are drawing comfortable
monthly allowance. Members of the
force will be fully cared for as they
are retired. The association, to which
only members of the police force may
belong, combines the features of mu-
tual benefit order and an old-age pen
sion fund. and Is unique among such
organizations.
