MONEY RAISED FOR
STREETIMP MPROVEM ENT

move has been started to raise
money BY subscription from farmers
lodges and others who use west Wepp
street frequently in order to relieve
the burden which the proposed i'm
provement of that thoroughfare would
place upon number of poor proper
tv owners The matter was brought
up before the council last evening but
it was decided to let the Commercial
club take the initiative in the matter
in order that the city itself should not
be officially involved.
Councilman Cole stated that he had
talked with a number of farmers who
enter the city by way of Webb street
and that almost without exception
they evidenced readiness to contrib
ute from $50 to 500. each and he esti-
mated that between $1,000 and $500
could he raised in this manner.
Mayor Matlock stated that he had
been advocating such move for the
past six months and stood willing to
donate 500 for such purpose. How
ever. he declared the city attorney had
advised him against involving the city
i'm any way officially in such move
for fear lest such action should form
an irregularity of procedure. There
fore. the mayor stated that the mem
bers of the council could take it up
personally with the Commercial club.
Considerable discussion was indulg-
ed in. one member of the council de-
claring he felt sure that every lodge
in the city would contribute inasmuch
as all travel to the cemetery was over
this street.
However, in order that such finan-
cial assistance should reach only those
who merit it, it is proposed to appoint
committee of three disinterested
citizens to determine upon whom the
burden of paving falls most heavily.
There are many people willing to
contribute for this purpose" Mayor
Matlock said, IF they are assured
that their money will help the poor
people in paying their assessments but
they do not feel like helping those
who need no help. | will give 500
but l do not want it to be applied on
Baumgardner's assessment for he is
able to pay his own. I mention Baum
gardner because he has brought suit
against us"

clared himself satisfied today there
will be no attempt to embarrass him

should be sufficient to convince ia
pan that her interests will be protect

further conferences with Ambassador
