The railroad commission law as

under its provisions the oOmmiasicn

orders concerning the transportation

BOULEVARD PAVING
ONLY A MAKESHIFT,
SAYS CONTRACTOR

At q meeting Of property holders on
North Boulevard last night G. N. IN
grund. president of the Southern Btu
lithic Company of Nashville, debated
that the bitUminous macadam on North
Boulevard which has called forth the
denunciation Of the property holders
was mere "makeshift.' but is just
what the specifications call for.
He said the fault was not with his
company, but with the people, who had
decided upon form of paving which
will not stand the wear Of heavy traffic.
He also declared that his company
would finish the contract unless pro-
hibited by court order. but made A
proposition to take of the top paving
already laid and replace it with more
substantial material, at an additional
cost
A committee Of property holders will
be appointed to look into the several
propositions offered for the reconstruc-
ton of the street, and to decide upon
definite plan with the city construction
department and the contractor.

Anglin recites in his suit that Jes-

ly. crafty and with great subtlety,
worked on the mind of Mrs. Anglln and
by showing her the allurements of a
life of luxury and ease, such as Anglin
could not give her, gained a great
ascendency over her. He alleged that
Jester was a married man, though sep
arated from his wife, at the time he
was paying these attentions to Mrs.
Anglin.

Three "donts" for girls were issued

Don't trot the streets and make a

Don't paint and powder and burden

Don't wear light, immodest dresses. F."
These three faults, Mrs. BohnefeId de-

every girl brought to her notice this
year.

that the hayward girl, the girl who
will not be controlled by her parents.
