TAFT KS HIS
L. TO LENC0LN'S
Compares Own Difficulties
With Those of
Emancipator
Declares Moral RcfOrmcrs and
Treacherous Party Members Are
Met by All Responsible Heads.

Hodgeville, KY Nov. 9.-President
Taft paid honor to Abraham Lncoln's s
memory in the emancipator's log ca
BIN today, Lincolns birthplace.
This Is a great memorial | be-
lieve this little cabin will live in the
memory of all Americans forever -
said President Taft while standing
by the old log fireplace
President Taft was here to dedicate
the Lincoln memorial building on the
former Li9coln homestead which
covers the cabin n VIII ch lincoln was
born.
HIS dedication sreech seemingly
drew a parallel between the abuse
heaped on President Lincoln during
the trying civil war days and his own
experiences today.
He characterized President Lin
coins difficulties with the moral
reformers and members of his own
party as the lot of "any responsible
head of a government"

PAVING MUST
Be DONE NOW
City Officials Refuse Re-
quest of Contractors for
POstponement.
ASK DELAY UNTIL SPRING
Mayor and Council Not Satisfied With
Excuses Offered by Company's
Representatives and Charge At
tempted Use of Subtcrfugcs.

The paving of Alta, Cottonwood
and Webb street will be done at once,
the wishes of the paving company to
the contrary Notwithstanding This
was the announcement made this NOR
ming by mayor Il. ]. Murphy and
Councilman V. Strobe, chairman of
the street committee, and follows
persistent endeavor of the company
officials to secure postponement until
spring. In the opinion of the city
authorities. the company has no valid
ground upon which to base its re-
quest and make it only for private
reasons.
On Monday representatives of the
Warren company met with the street
committee and asked that the actual
laying of the pavement be delayed
until March. In support of their re-
quest, they declared that the filling
of the sewer and water trenches now
being dug would settle and thus cause
a sag in the pavement; furthermore
they asserted that much better pave
ment could be laid in clear warm
weather than in cold, stormy weather.
NuDlNTiuptS' says tuy'
According to the chairman of the
street committee and the mayor,
these reasons are merely subterfuges
and are not based on facts. They de-
clare that the trenches can be filled
and rolled so hard that they will not
settle. Such was the form of pro-
cedure, they say, when the Main and
Court street pavement was laid and
there were no says. In answer to the
weather argument they point out
that the weather in the months of
March and April Is likely to be as
stormy ms during the next two months.
Also Councilman Stroble invites a
comparison of the block of pavement
OF Main between Railroad and Webb
streets and the block at the east end
of Court street The first was laid in
the warm weather of early Septem-
Der, he says, while the latter was laid
in cold winter weather. No differ
ence in the quality is apparent, he
asserts.
Geary Kimbrell, city engineer, sub
stantiatcs the arguments of the may
or and committee chairman by his
professional opinion that the weather,
so long as II be not too damp, is no
obstacle and that hand tamping and
rolling will pack the earth in the
trenches solid.
The contract so reads that 1t rests
with the city authorities whether any
postponement be made and, in view
Of the answers given by those offici-
ais to the request. the company will
either have to pave now or forfeit its
contract.
