CITY COMMIssIONERs MEET.
Consider Street Paving, Resting
Benches, News Stands, Etc.

81 Z
The paving OF Sixth avenue, clear
ing Main street of all benches, news
stands; preparing for the city deeds
covering advertised property for taxes,
and safety gates at the depot, were
among the questions discussed by the
city commissioners Thursday night.
]. R. Hill headed a delegation of pro
perty owners on Sixth avenue. urging
the Importance of paving this street.
1t had been estimated that it could be
paved from Main to Justice street for
$4,000. A petition signed by the ma
jority of the property owners was fl
ed week previous. The board decid-
ed to take the proper steps toward
paving the street. 1t is likely that the
avenue will be paved beyond Justice
street as S. ]. Harris stated that seven
out of ten property owners had signed
a petition to extend the improvement
John L. Orr vas granted a permit to
erect a nine-room house on Willow
street
The board discussed at some length
the question of permitting news stands
on two corners of the street near the
postoffice and placing of benches along
Main street for the accommodation of
the YEARLY ones, for which subscrip-
ton had been raised by DR.. L. B.
Morse. The board took the view that
the benches would prove more OF a
nuisance than luxury or accommo-
dation to the class of people for whose
comfort they would be placed; that
they would be occupied by negroes,
loafers, Migrants, hangers-ons, foul
mouthed and tobacco-spitting bril-
gades, hence they decided to clear the
street of benches now resting thereon
and not permit new ones Installed.
Commissioner Freeze reported that
Capt. J. w. Bailey had assured him
that the Southern railway would haVN
a fagman at the depot crossing, be-
shining June 1, thereby obviating the
necessity of safety-gates. The board
decided that such protection OF the
public would be inadequate and that
it would be we'll to advise the state
corporation commission that the city
desires hearing on the matter.
The city attorney will be instructed
to make the proper procedure toward
deciding to the city property bid in
1T tax sales during the past two years.
