COUNCILMEN
ASK FOR TOO
MANY STREETS

Although the ordinance providing for
bond issue OF $3.50 OO0 for curbino. grad.
ing and street paving has been approved
by'Alayor Howell, City Council is at log
gcrheads over the list OF streets to be
paved At the meeting of Council as a
committee Of the whole last night, the
subject was discussed, but as several OF
the members expressed themselves as
ready TO fight for the paving Of streets
in their wards it was decided to delay
action.
It had been intended TO bring the
street paving matter before Council to-
night, but as there is considerable oppo-
sition from some of the members to re-
duce the number of streets to be paved
in their wards, it will be necessary to
arrange for another meeting of Council
to discuss the question. When the ques
tion was brought up last night several
of the members thought the subject
should be reserved for a special meeting
of Council This opinion was shared
by many and a special meeting of Coun-
Gil most likely will be held one night
next week.
According to those who attended the
conference last night, the money TO be
available for the work will not be su1i-
cient 10 do all the work mapped out by
the councilmen and some of the streets
will have TO be left unpaved until tho
new list of streets to be paved is lin.
ished.

makes a total of 219 new members
after a four days sail and but six
days more of the allotted time set for
