REM0NSTRANCE ENDS
MUCH PAVING WORK

At a meeting Of the city council
Friday evening "a remonstrance
against the Improvement on Fourth
street from the sotuh line OF G street
to the north line OF H street, made
Its appearance and caused consider
able discussion, as the council was
reluctant to discontinue this work
after the expense and trouble under
gone So far.
The remonstrance was filed one
day too late, and the council could
have taken advantage OF this fact and
ignored It. However, the council
men, after listening to protests of
some length by Britt Williams and
Judge J. M. Childs, voted to discon-
tlnue further work In the matter.
Williams contended that under
present financial conditions over the
land the burden OF improvement
would be too severe ON the property
owners affected and for this reason
wanted the work STOPPED. He de-
clared banks are not loaning money,
securities are finding poor sale and
business conditions generally we're
In a bad way. and he declared that II
the Improvement was forced now that
he would not be able to pay for II
and might lose his property
Judge J, M. Childs spoke along the
same lines.
Councilman Calvert remarked:
1--WE have been up against this pave
ment proposition all the year. In this
particular case we were informed
that no remonstrance would come up
and we are surprised at the appear
ance OF this one. Williams contend
cd that the protestants we're not op-
posed TO Improvement In future, but

they were willing TO improve the
block when the new city hall which

ed and Williams added:
IF had money would buy an
auto Then II | had more money
might buy the Southern Pacific rail-
road, but haven't got II, not even to
bay for this proposed Improvement.
The discussion continued until
Mayor Myers broke In and said the
remonstrance was filed too late, had
no legal standing and II was optional
with the council what they should
do. A vote was finally taken on the
matter and the councilman voted to
discontinue the work, except Council
man Phillips. who voted no, HuggIns
and Daniels being absent.
The council then went into other
business, the important features of

Councilman Phillips, in conversa-
tion today with representative of
The Courier, expressed regret that
the city council allowed the remon-
strators to have their way in killing
the proposed improvement of Fourth
street from the south line of G street
to the north line Of H street. The
council voted, Friday night last, to
discontinue work, after Britt Will
llams and Judge j. M, Childs address
ed the council in opposition to the
improvement and in support of the re-
monstrance Councilman Phillips vot
ed no, Higgins and Daniels absent.
"The remonstrance was not only
presented one day too late, but the
demonstrators were In the minority"
said Councilman Phillips, and con-
tinued:
"All but two of the kickers were
assessed only s6.55, this for inter-
sections, yet they sought and did kill
needed improvement, and one
wanted by the larger holders. Now
that this work has been killed, people
on H. street ask why should they al
low work OF improvement on that
street, and this morning a man start
ed out to get signatures to petition
for remonstrance Thus this improve
ment may die"
Regarding the proposed remon-
STRANGE for II street, 1t Is too late to
stop the work by such proceeding II
the council cares to continue or
course II there is heavy showing of
property owners against the work the
council can kill It by rejecting all
bids OF contractors.
The Courier secured figures on the
Fourth street work at the auditors
office and found that the total sum
represented by the demonstrators is
81 1,051O6, and the amount represent
ed by the property owners who did
not sign the remonstrance to be ST.

tors to be in the minority so far as
dollars and cents are concerned, And
OF the total amount assessed against
the demonstrators all but two are

MADAM BARRY REPLIES
TO HER EX-HUSBAND
Charges him with Lying and Con
duct Unbecoming a Man

Madame Barry, whose matrimonial
difficulties were exploited in the San
francisco papers, was interviewed
to-day by an Appeal representative
The lady was naturally indignant and
considerably perturbed over the ac-
quisations made by her ex-husband
regarding the gun play at Reno and
the nsinuations regarding her rela-
tions with Carver.
She said in brief:
The statement that | extorted love
letters written him since my divorce
by threatening his life with a pistol,
is simply the veriest rot.
Il called on him in Reno at the
Riverside principally to ask him to
cease writing blackmailing letters to
my father. He has been doing this
for years and these letters have been

able part OF the day. Thirty seven
cars of cattle were handled during the
day, they coming from Reno. The
first lot arrived at I o'clock and were
sent to Minden. The others follow

The shipment comes from the Moi
fat people who have taken over the
Hickey holdings in Antelope Valley,
the cattle coming from Oregon In
all there will be something over 100
carloads shipped to the feeding val
ley
As all these cattle will eventually
be reshipped it opens up q source of
revenue for the local road The feed
throughout the valley south of here
is regarded as the best on the coast
and the big meat men are taking ad-
vantage of it. From time to time
more cattle will be added to the
number that have gone south, which
means that Antelope Valley will
again be filled with cattle as it was
for many years under the direction of
