 "T have just filed you for presi- dent without your permission. consider you the original progressive. Of course. there are Wilson. La Fol lette and Roosevelt, who are good limitations. but why a substitute?

CITY COUNCIL
 TALKS PAVING
Slight Defect in Washing ton Street Work Will be Taken Care of by Con tracting Company Before Work is Done.

Even as too many cooks are won't to spoil the broth, so are too many bosses likely to spoil pavement. That's what F. P. Conway. who is handling the interests of the Barbar Asphalt company in this city says. Tie said it at special council meet ing called late yesterday afternoon to discuss bit of paving on Washing ton street
 The pavement was laid from the curbing to within two feet of the street car tracks. Then the space be- tween the rails and from the outer rail tO the first laid section was pu. down. In places the joint is far from perfect A shoulder half an inch high protrudes in places and it isn't at all raving commission.
 City Engineer Turney put the mat ter before the council. He said that he first heard of it at o'clock yes terday afternoon and at once got busy Mir. Conway. asked to state his side of the question said:
 It's a case of a large number of bosses for one thing. In the first place. we seem to be responsible to Warren Brothers. the city council, tho paving commission the city engineer and the street railway company. This imperfect joint is due to the fact that Warren Brothers man insisted that we roll the paving up and down the street instead of across
 Much discussion followed Some present wanted the imperfect pave ment torn up and others offered sug gestions for remedying the trouble without rebuilding entirely. Council man McElroy suggested that no rad ical steps be taken at once. that those chiefly concerned lock at it in a broad manner and meet the trouble when it really presents itself-at the time when the Barber people submit the street for the approval of the council MT Conway expressed the same opinion. saving that he would certainly not consider the job com pelted until the bad spots had been ironed ou.
 Mir. McElroy brought up the mat ter of more street lights and urged immediate action. He suggested tha; the city electrician he instructed to go over the town and report on lights needed. IL was referred to the com mttee on streets and alleys. however and will be brought up for settlement at some future time
