council that from the beginning to the


ming stated it was their purpose to
act in harmony with and to give heed
to the judgment OF the business men
of the community and that they would
be governed largely by the wishes OF
the business interests of the town,
and after the commercial club acted
with practical unanimity in favor of
lpaving, the council proceeded to Sc
lect an engineer and to publish the
resolutions Of necessity, looking to
carrying out the proposition OF paw
ing. The blame for our not having
amy paving cannot be lodged against
the city council and others must car
ry this blame We should have been
pleased to see a few blocks in the
center OF the city paved this year and
now fully believe it would have been
wise to make at least start toward
paving, but in view of the situation as
it was presented at the last, no criti-
cism should be made against the
action of the council.
1t was unfortunate that in their en-
thusiasm to carry their point an en-
travagant statement was made con-
corning profits which it is claimed GER
tain investments bring stockholders.
We do not think it was necessary or
fair to misrepresent facts in this re-
spect in order to further the project
of any persons. We cannot under
stand why the reports were persistent
~ made that common stock in the tele-
phone company is paying a dividend
of thirty per cent when there are no
facts to warrant the statement. The
truth is that not dollars dividend
will be paid this year on any of the
common stock, unless it should be
paid in stock and not in money.
One of our citizens has in excess of
$4,000 worth, on which he will not
receive a cents profit this year and
the next The Review knows
of block of stock of $1,000 which is
on the market and can be bought at
rs cents on the dollar. This offer is
not made for day, but for any day
this week or next week, and if the
people who persist in making these
reports have any desire to secure a
profitable investment, here seems an
The town will not suffer as much
from the failure to pave as it will by
the freedom of criticism INDUCED in
by one class of business men against
another, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that since the scrap is over that
everybody will join the optimist club
and forget all differences, grow more
charitable, pull together and keep
Denison to the front.
