Of property owners who have the right
to demonstrate, have filed formal pro-
test with the city clerk against the
resolution adopted by the board re-
Gently for the paving Of North A
street, from Fifth street to Sixteenth
street.
The demonstrators assert that the
proposed improvement would work an
unusual hardship on them. They point
to the fact that the majority of proper
ties on North A street have frontages
on streets running north and south,
and for that reason they would be
assessed on the average of from 165
to $50 feet instead Of the usual forty
or fifty feet.
Asks Macadam Road.
IA substantial macadam roadway, the
entire cost Of which the city would
have to assume, is the improvement
the demonstrators ask for. In their
remonstrance they assert that this
street has not been macadamized for
21 years but Notwithstanding this fact
the street remained in good condition
until just a few years ago.
They assert that four or five years
ago when cement curbs and cutters
were placed on North A street the city
officials promised to macadamize the
street. and they ask that this promise
be fulfilled this year. They say that
If the street is we'll macadamized it
will remain in good condition for a
number of years because the street
is not subjected to heavy traffic. The
demonstrators also assert that If the
street is not paved they are willing to
be assessed for cement sidewalks.
North A street property owners are
the only ones who have filed remon-
stance against the city's program for
the permanent improvement of nearly
all the macadam streets in the central
business district. 1t was anticipated
that North Sixteenth street property
owners would. enter q vigorous protest
against the proposed paving of that
street, but so far as can be ascertain
ed no remonstrance has yet been cir.
culated among the property owners on
that street.
Property owners on South Ninth
street, from Main to South A are. as
a whole, we'll satisfied with the pro
posal to improve that part of the
street.

this conflict hangs the fate OF the
present campaign for the mastery Of

General Won Mackenzen, one of the

Mackenzen has locked with the Rus
slams in a death grip Of which feroci-

Field Marshal Won Hindeburg
planned to cause a withdrawal of the
new Russian forces from their ad-

also to lessen the Russian pressure
against the Austro-German forces in
