avenue to the c. V. railroad, said re-
monstrance bAlg signed Mr. Hetzel

owners on that part of the street men
E5oned. Mr.. Hetzel said that the
street had recently been resarfaced
with crushed stone at a considerable
expenditure Of money and was now a
model macamized street; that TO pave
the same with bricks, as proposed,
would involve the cutting down of
this macadam TO the proper grade at
a heavy expense and that too, before
the city had derived anything like the
xDull benefit Of the improvement He
said the petitioners also opposed the
raying proposition on the ground that
ney, the property owners, would have
20 pay for the street paving, subject
ing them, they think, to an unreasona-
Zo1e hardship.
On motion the remonstrance was re-
s-eiEad The effect of this remor-
STRANGE was to defer action on the
waving ordinance, as noted below.

sold the Morlein Brewing Co.'S beer
he was not an agent in the general
sense from the fact that he bought
beer by the carload and sold it to his
suctomers the same as man would
do with any other commodity. He said
that ii was not his intention to dis
r pose of any goods in Martnsburg af-
ter July l, when the town goes "dry."
but simply to make this a distribut-
ing point to number OF not distant
towns which he mentioned. He also
offered to furnish satisfactory bond.
