 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson attended last nights meeting and discussed with the members of the commission plans for the improvement of the streets of the city. He said among other things that 1t was about time that something was done about inn proving Stratford avenue from Sea- view avenue to the city line. This at present is a rnacadan street and in pretty poor condition. The mayor was of the opinion that a, wood block pave ment should be laid on Stratford ave nue. He thought however that before any permanent pavement should be laid the street should be Widened two feet on each side. He also stated that in his opinion Water street from Gold en Hill to State street should be re- paved with granite block on a con- crete base.
 It was moved that the request of the Connecticut company to lay granite blocks west from the junction of Fair field avenue and State street to the railroad viaducts be granted It was also moved to notify the Connecticut company to finish it's work on Fair field avenue at once.

 UP TO BURLES0N

Washington, May 24.-The race question was put squarely up to Post master General Burleson, today. in a petition signed by more than 5000 railway mail clerks urging the segre- gation of white and negro employees in the service. It was presented by Rob- ert A. Prather, of Little Rock, Ark. The petitioners asked that the post master general issue an order puttinS the segregation into effect at once.

It is fur ther declared that in some instances the whites are subject to Jurisdiction of negro superiors. A special protest is made in the petition against existing conditions because on long runs mem bers of the two races frequently have to share the same sleeping quarters.

ahtor Garrett, to reduce the appro
priation to 100000 by eliminating the

from Love county, where he has been
for the past week in the business
of the agricultural department. Mr
Graham stated to an Ardmoreite re-
porter shortly after his arrival in
the city that he never saw crop
conditions better anywhere than they
are in Love county this year. Cotton,
the gentleman said, was all planted
and most of it up and the stand seems
to be a good one and uniform. The
same, he says, can be said of corn.
Mr.. Graham also stated that there
will be a large crop of small grain
raised in Love county this year-one
man alone having in over two hun
dred and fifty acres in wheat.
