THE OTHER SIDE

While R. L S. may be right in hold
ing that ito be properly enjoyed, a
walking tour should be gone upon
alone" Mark Twain also knew the
game. And, in his happiest quiet vein,
Mark Twain declares:
"Now the true charm of pedestrian
ism does not lie in the walking, or in
the scenery, but in the talking. The
walking is good to time the movement
of the tongue by, and to keep the
blood and the brain stirred up and
active; the scenery and the woodsy
smells are good to bear in upon s. man
AN unconscious and unobtruslve charm
and solace to eye and soul and sense;
but the supreme pleasure comes from
the talk. 1t is no matter whether one
talks wisdom or nonsense, the case is
the same, the bulk of the enjoyment
lies in the wagging of the gladsome
jaw and the foppings of the sympa-
UueClC eat.
"And what a motley variety Of sub
jects a couple of people will casually
rake over in the course of days
tramp! There being no constraint, a
change of subject is always in order,
and so body is not likely to keep
pegging away at single topic until it
grows tiresome. We discussed every
thing we knew, during the first fifteen
or twenty minutes, that morning, and
then branched out into the glad, free,
boundless realm of the things we were
not certain about

opinions it is hard to choose. Yet if

do this $4,000 worth of paving, Mr..
Hettinger said Council proposed to
raise the money by bond issue of
$4,000.
Mr.. Hettinger said City Council had
nothing to do with the public schools.
That was up to the Board of Educa-
ton, and the Board of Estimates had
already given the schools $4,000 more
than last year, and he thought the
schools were we'll taken care of, al
though Mr.. Hettinger would like to
have appropriated $4,000 for manual
training.
Mr. Hettinger said that 100000 had
been spent upon a new water plant;
that the Park Commission had spent
$1,000 year for three years. and he
thought it was time to call a halt
there; the sewer plant had cost $7o,-
600, and but $4,000 had been spent on
roads. For the fire department, Mr..
Hettlnger said the Board of Estimates
,had provided $4,000 for an auto chemi-
cal engine and hose wagon truck. II
was required to raise $1,000 for last
years debts.
Mr.. Hettinger then pointed out that
in paving the streets as proposed,
Council would gather up 1890 square
feet of second hand crossing stone and
$500 worth of gutter stone. The city
had been spending $4,000 each year, he
said, upon the streets proposed to be
paved for repairs, and nothing accom-
plished.
"The paving proposition continued
Mr.. Hettinger, twill absolutely make
no raise in the tax rate this year. Did
the Pioneer tell you that? No they
have been telling you that the pave
ment would cost you 100000 and here
is the estimate of the engineer, $685.
000."
! Engineer VIM. S. Bacon interrupted
to say that Mr. Hettinger should not
use these figures as he had but given
moment to them in respone to Mr.
Hettinger's inquiry. His carefully pre-
pared estimate of the original work
was $1,000, which by reason of a
change in his specifications, would be
,, a little less.
Then Mr.. Hettinger said, We'll, we
will call it $4,000, but I am satisfied
it. will be $4,000 less.
"The- Pioneer" he said, had been
talking about assessments" Mr.. Het-
finger had gone over the matter and
said that there were 365. properties or
the streets proposed to be paved. Il
; the assessments were 10 per cent, Mr.
Hettinger figured that it would aver,
age but $14,50 per property, and ther
asked: "Will that break anybody?'
| Mr.. Hettinger then argued that the
i paving would actually increase the
value of the property.
Mr.. j. NJ. Laning expressed the opin.
ZION that Mr.. Hettinger had oversteppet
the bonds of propriety in attacking the
newspaper and Traction Company. bu
President Evans ruled that, Mr.. Het
finger had a right to a vindication.
n Mr.. Laning then challenged the fig
ures of Mr.. Hettinger and declared
THAT the fire department was in de
'plorable condition, with 20, engin,

When it comes to sunfiowers, the

Last year one gigantic plant was

saved themselves a $4,000 or more
bond issue with consequent increase
in tax rates, for paving large area
of city streets. The citizens and tax
payers convince a majority of the
Councilmen that the enterprise was
not warranted and the borrowing of
money for paving was unwise. Fol-

whole matter in which there were
many who expressed opinions, the

The Council chamber was uncom-

night by the citizens and tax payers
of Bridgeton, many of whom live upon
the streets abutting the proposed paw
ing. The City Hall janitor filled the
room with extra chairs, and even then
very many were obliged to stand
The public discussion continued from
8 o'clock until 9.45 o'clock, and the
greatest interest was taken, several

times.

Immediately after the roll call and

President Evans announced that the
people were at this meeting given
more than ordinary freedom and ev-
eryone should have full opportunity to
speak upon the question. He said that
before he would call upon the tax
payers he would recognize Councilman
Hettinger, who had requested the priv
ilege of being the first speaker.
Mr.. Hettinger said that he had re-
quested to be first called upon in order
to make a statement that would set

the opposition to the paving in one
newspaper, later mentioning the Pho

entitled to the actual information con-

changed by the Pioneer to suit the
Traction Company. Mr.. Hettinger
said that the Pioneer had long harped
upon the story that the pavement
would cost 100000. Now, said Mr.
Hettinger, "let me help you get this
situation in hand before you speal
upon the subject. have here a few
figures that are correct"
Mr.. Hettinger then said that the City
Engineer had carefully estimated the
cost of the entire job and the concrete
pavement would cost $4,000. The ex
cavation was to add $4,000 to the. cost
and underdrains would add $4,000 NOR,

Cottonwood Chronical The Peck
Press suspended publication last
week and the cause given was in
sufficient patronage. This is too
bad, as Bro. Ruggles gave that town
a good paper since going there.
However, it is a frequent occurrence
in towns too small to support a pa
per and occasionally occurs in larger
towns where some avaricious printer
thinks the other fellow is making
too much money and ''buts in" only
to go broke a few months later.
No papers should invade the field
of another unless it al see enough
patronage going away from that
town to justify it's locating there,
and even then the newcomer usually
has a hard row to hoe: Political
gangs often advocate the starting
of a paper in opposition territory
to further their own cause, and even
assist the new enterprise financially,
but campaigns only last a few
months at best and then this assis-
lance is withdrawn and the paper
has to look to other sources for its
maintenance.
There are kickers, too, in every
community who are loud in demand
ing another paper because the one
at hand has perhaps incurred their
i'll will but when it comes to these
fellows putting up coin to support
their favorite they r usually con-
spicuous by their absence. Their
fore newspapers should follow the
rule of other business concerns and
look we'll into the needs of a COM
munity before going there to locate.
One good paper in a town is always
better than two poor ones and any
time a town is called on to support
more than it has room for one or
both papers will starve. This holds
good in other lines of business as
we'll as with the newspaper.
