A DRoufA RESISTANT Tree.

The last three years In Oklahoma

drou,h. In the college and Experiment
Station Plantations none Of the trees
raised have shown greater ability in
this respect than the green ash. The
ash is not fast growing tree, the soft

a much better growth than the ash

BRIEF But BREEZY
IS SESSION
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES PAVE.
MENT AND THE RIGHT OF THE
PEOPLE TO DECIDE.

Yesterdays session of the city coun-
ell was brief but II was warm. Like
wise, 1t accomplished a good bit Of
business.
1t might be extreme to say the ses-
sion was sensational. but there were
moments when II looked as If it would
be. In fact. there were brief situa-
tions In the drama enacted, which were
thrilling.
1t was the question of paving Rail-
road street which brought out the
lmelight and the orchestra. There
were two resolutions up for considera-
tion. one paved Railroad street west
Of Higgins avenue and the other paved
1t east of the avenue. TO both OF
them, Ronald Higgins, representing the
heirs Of the Higgins estate and two
other owners In the proposed district
protested His protests were pre-
scnted In formal written documents
and were backed up with some forci-
BILE remarks.
Mr.. Higgins said in the first place
that the council had not acted legally
In its procedure creating the districts
Then he said the property owners had
not been consulted either as to the
formation of the districts or as to the
material to be used In the pavement;
that the council had proceeded accord
ing to the dictation of the railway
company and had chosen the most ex-
pensive pavement possible. thus shut
ting out competition and imposing "a
too heavy burden upon the property
owners In the proposed district. No
body but the railway had been con-
suited.
Mayor Rhoades answered briefly.
saying that the council had consulted
the railway because the company rep
resented the majority of square yards
In the pavement and that the commits
sioners had been bound to follow the
wishes and suggestions of the company.
Yes" said Mr.. Higgins THE city
attorney has 50 framed the ordinance
that the railway company represents "A
majority. though We have a greater
frontage"
The council then passed the ordi-
nance and ordered the city clerk to
advertise for bids for the paving.
Then Mr.. Higgins renewed his criti-
cism.
"'rhe council has been nee1lessly ex-
iravagant," said he. THE cost of the
paving added to the cost of the sewer
and other assessments. counts up to
a total greater than the value of the
lots"
In all these mattcrs,r responded the
mayor tho commissioners are bound
hv the expressed wishes Of the peope.
We are paid servants of the people
and We are obliged to follow the in
structlons OF the majority, We are
working for the people,"
1T looks" retorted Mr.. Higgins, "as
If you were working for the railway
company and that Is the opinion which
most people hold"
1T doesn't look that way to anybody
with any sense" said the mayor "and
] am not going to have anybody come
up here and tax that way In this
chamber"
Higgins replied that he had ex-
pressed, he believed the view Of the
people. He repeated his assertion
that the city attorney had so worded
the ordinance as to give the railway
company the majority holding. He
said 1t was an unfair and illegal propo-
sition and unjust to the owners.
This closed the incident.
A hearing was ordered on the paw
ing Of the Slmons alley. next Monday.
The clerk was ordered to advertise tor

bids for paving Railroad street. to be
received August 26.
Herman kohn and others appeared to
protest against paving the alley along
side the odd Fellows building. These
would-be protestants were informed
that they were "a hours late: the time
for protest had passed and the paw
Ing, not objected to, had been ordered.
There was not much disappointment. as
the necessity for paving the alley Is
clear.
There was an informal discussion OF
the plan for paving alleys, the material
to be used and the general policy to
be pursued. Then the audience fled
out and the council adjourned.
