Proposed Improvement of
Alley on OSuth Side.

A successful demonstration in force
by demonstrators against the paving
of North Seventh street, from A street
to Ft. Wayne avenue. headed by a
phalanX of widows who are resident
property owners on that street, took
place before the board of public works
this morning. Eighteen of the thirty
resident property owners remonstrat-
ed and the remOnstrance will be sus-
tanned.
President Bavis informed the re-
mOnstratOrs that if the street was not
paved it could not be macadamized be-
cause this would be useless ex-
pense because of the heavy traffic the
street is constantly subjected to. Mrs.
Fosler, speaking for the widows, pro-
tested on this ruling, however, and
said she thought the street should be
thoroughly repaired at least once a
year because there was such heavy
travel on it. Mr. Bavis made no fur
ther attempt to continue his argu-
lay of money a permanent improve
ment was desired. There were too
many women for one mere man to
reason with.
Mrs. Fosler explained to the board
that several of the widows had been
taxed right and left in recent years
and had almost reached the limit of
their resources. She said, however,
if the city was determined to pave
the street she wanted it made uni
form the entire distance, substituting
brick for the cement roadway In
front of the residence of ex-mayor W.
W. Zimmerman, which was put down
by a concrete company as a SAM

RIGHTS OF VOTING
EXPLAINED BY DRYS
Drys Will be Content to See
Vets Observe the Law as
1t Is Written.

A statement was given out at the
dry headquarters today setting forth
the qualifications of voters at the To-
cal option election on March "a. II
is explained that the payment or non
payment of poll tax has nothing TO do
with a mans ability TO vote. The sole
qualifications are that a man must de-
clare this as his place of residence.
must have been a resident of the state
of Indiana for six months. a resident
of the township for sixty days and OF
the precinct thirty days Immediately
preceding the election. and III a for
eigner must be naturalized according
to the statutes governing naturaliza-
tion. The question as to whether q
man has paid his poll tax OF not has
nothing to do with the question of his
ability to vote.
The statement further SAYS that
some of the vets appear to be par;ic-
ularly anxious to misrepresent the law
to dry voters. but that the drys will
be content to see that the vets OBJ
serve the law as it is written. and
that they do not overstep its require
ments by illegal voting.
