A I I TACk
PETITION
H. D. Merritt Behind Peti-
tion-Matter Called to
Councils Attention.

Fraud, deliberate alteration Of q
petition, and Misrepresentation was
charged on the floor of the city
council last night against the mov-
ers nthe Hassam paving deal on
Astor street, Indiana to Buckeye. A
majority of the people affected by
the improvement joined in the re-
n1onstrance, and said some hard
things about the parties that lead
in getting up the petition.
Joe Bradley, representing his
mother, Mrs. Nellie Bradley, said
that the big mills to the north were
behind the matter. that there was
no need for paving on Astor street;
that when the matter first came up
they signed for grade and walk,
whereas the petition turned up for
paving; that originally it was to
run from Mission to Carlisle,
whereas it was deliberately changed
to read from Indiana to Buckeye,
leaving long stretch of mud from
Indiana to Mission, in front of the
most valuable property on the
street.
Behind the Hassam petition is H.
d. Merritt, who with a few other
city hall politicians forms the Has
sam Paving Co. 1t is charged that
Merritt helped to circulate the peti-
tion, whicn was approved by the
board of public works.
The matter was legislated
through the city council, the con-
tract awarded by the board of
works to the Hassam people, and
all in readiness for the approval of
the assessment roll last night. II
