DECISION REMOVES
PAYING OBSTACLE
WORK MAY NOW PROCEED
CONWAY PAVING, HOWEVER,
WILL NOT BE STARTED BE.
FORE SPRING.

The decision of the Arkansas su-
preme court yesterday, sustaining in
cas- etaken up from Pine Bluff the
validity of Improvement districts
formed under the act of the legisla-
ture of 1913, removes an obstacle in
the way of paving the business streets
of Conway, work on which was held
up to await the courts action. One
OF the commissioners of the district
stated today, however, that it was
not likely that any work would be
started before next spring, as it
would be impracticable to tear up the
streets during the winter months.
The question decided by the court
was that of the validity of the cleo
ton Of boards of Improvement for
districts by the city council. A
lengthy new law codifying and sim
plifying and also making numerous
changes in the old improvement dis
trlct laws was drafted last year by
George B. Rose, the well-known Lit
tie Rock attorney who specializes in
improvement district matters and
whose firm passes upon majority of
the bond issues foated in the state.
BY some miSchance, however, the sec
ton providing how the boards of i'm
provement should be named was not
incorporated in the new law. On this
account it has been impossible for
any improvement district formed
since the passage of the new act to
float any bonds, as none of the buy
ers wou d purchase them until the
supreme court had passed on the new
law.
A case was taken up from Pine
Bluff, and the supreme court, through
Chief Justice McCulloch, yesterday
handed down a decision holding that
the provisions of the old law for the
appointment of the boards by the city
council had not been abrogated OF re-
pealed by the new law. Thus the
election by the Conway city council
early last summer of H. B. Ingram,
10 Frauenthal and w. NJ Harrell,
as the board of improvement for
Street Improvement District No. of
Conway, under the courts decision
was lawful and the board may now
proceed with the issuance of bonds
for the improvement.
1t is possible, however, that furth-
er complications may delay the paw
ing Improvement in this city. Sever
al of the leading property owners in
the district filed objections to the
benefits as fixed by the board of as
SCISSORS, composed of w. d. Cole, Jr.,
John Hartley and J. A. Pence While
these complaints We're overruled by
the city council, it is possible that
further steps to contest the assess
ments may be made in the courts.
The board received bids for the
paving last June, but the award of
the contract was withheld pending
the supreme court decision. The low
est bidder for the quality of paving
decided upon, vitrified brick on a five
inch concrete base, was about $50 900
and was made by the Nick Peay Con-
structiOn Co. of Little Rock

last night which were caught from a
pond on their farm by Terror. =
pet bull dog. Terror followed the
children to the pond. which is very
shallow, and the water clear enough
to enable one to see the fish swimming
about. Presently he plunged into the
water and gave chase to a two and
one.half pound black perch. which
tiled to elude the dog by diving to the
bottom. Terror's head went under the
water and in a few seconds emerged
with the fish in his mouth. The dog
brought the fish to the bank aud, lay
ing it down at the children's feet, tool

catch was a one pound suntish, which
was also deposited at the children
feet. The dog attempted to go into th'
