AGAINST PAVING WEST

Garden and Depot in the LIst--con-
tracts Will Be Awarded Probably at

Objections But One Made.

O6lSNSfSbS 49, 80
The board of mayor and aldermen,
at it's special called meeting Friday
night to hear protests on the propOs'
ed paving of several streets in the
city, ordered Garden, Depot and
West Seventh streets paved. Only
one protest was made by the property
owners and that was against the paw
ing of West Seventh street from High
to the corporate limits. The petition
of the property owners on Seventh
street was presented to the board by
H. P. Figuers and it contained a
strong protest against the proposed
plan to pave the street under the
abutting property laws.
The board took vote on the mat
ter and it was unanimous. The con-
tracts for the paving will be awarded
soon and possibly at the next meet
ing of the board in January. The
members of the board expected to
hear a large number of protests from
the citizens last night, but only one
petition was presented to them asking
that the streets not be paved.
{ A few little matters of minor i'm
portance were transacted by the
board. All the affairs for the year
1915 were settled and the board will
begin the new year with no unfnish-
ed business on it's hands Mayor Ded-
man presided at the meeting.
The fire and police commissioners
recommended that the fire depart
ment be decreased from 10 members
to six members and the board adopted
this recommendation, The fire COM
missioners thought that the number
of firemen at the present was too
large and that six firemen could do
just as efficient work as ten members.
Warren Titcomb, of the state pure
, food and drug department, delivered
/ an address to the board in which he
recommended that a meat inspector
be appointed The board took. no ac-
ton on the recommendation because
, it was understood that the United
States government furnished an in
spector to each city which carries on
interstate shipment of meats. The
! board will investigate the matter and
! if the government does not furnish an
, inspector the board will make plans
to appoint an inspector for meats
handled in Columbia.
The members of the board were ex.
pecting protests from the property
owners on Garden and Depot streets,
but not single owner on these two
streets entered protest against the
proposed paving. The residents on
West Seventh street made the plea
to the board that they could not af-
ford the expense of the paving"
The board was surprised at the
protest of the West Seventh street
owners in view of the fact that the
owners on the other two streets were
willing to have their streets paved at
their expense. The board overruled
the objections of the Seventh street
residents without question and the
street will be paved along with Gar
den and Depot streets.

a DIT. METER, a French-Amer-
IN ican from New York. has been
A\ proposed for the military
q = medal and promotion to rank
of lieutenant. He has been
on duty day and night for several
months at Noisy, one of the most I'M
portant military supply and ammuni-
tion stations in France, assisting Col
BeIlenger the military commissioner
of the station at Noisy. His functions
are numerous, but he accomplishes
them all with smile that won't wear
off He has been astonishing several
thousand employees, civilians and SOL
diers by his wonderful stamina and
Hustliug for more than three months.
Adit Netter is well known in the
states as former secretary of the
Geneva White Cross Society and as
sIstant to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley in the
International pure food agitation. The
tirst thing he did on arriving at Noisy
was to build kitchens for the purpose
"t supplying hot soup and nourishing
food to all troops passing through.
More than 100000 soldiers of France
nave been fed by these kitchens. which
are working day and night English
troops passing through Noisy get spe-
cial attention from Adjt. Meter. He
always has tea, toast and crackers
ready for them, also English tobacco
and cigarettes, and even English and
american newspapers. Those who met
Adjt Meter in New York-he was
we'll known figure there-will not be
surprised at the success of his hustlinS
powers, but how he has managed to
do twenty hours work day for three
months is a mystery to all in Paris.
He does not expect to get a rest until
the war is over. In fact. he is the
nearest thing to perpetual motion ever
seen in France.
Although much mystery seems to
surround the personality of Eye Wit

counts have been printed in the press

ber of amateur and professional writ

newspaper man and author.
As a matter of fact, Eye witness
is Col Ernest Dunlop Swinton. d. S.
o.. of the Royal Engineers, assistant
secretary and librarian of the impe-
rial committee of defense. His lmme-
diate family has contributed several
members to the army. two brothers

Swinton made a name for himself in
South Africa, and gathered the ma
terial for several intensely interesting
novels Under the pseudonym of ole

reputation as a writer of military sto-
ries. He is still busy turning out novels
despite his activities at the front.
When the history OF this great war
comes to be written Col. Swinton will
undoubtedly have d large hand in its
shaping.
