WILSON LEAVES
STATE WORRIES
TO SECRETARY
Starts on Vacation at Cornish
as Reply From Germany
Not Expected Within Two
Weeks.

WASHINGTON, June "a With
President Wilson away for two
weeks rest, the international situa-
ton presented a more reassuring
aspect today and the departure of the
President was construed to mean
that official Washington does not ex-
pect immediate developments in the
German and Mexican situations
President Wilson, however, left his
now secretary of state, Robert Lam
sing. at the helm and the executive
himself will be in instant Geographic
touch with the White House and state
department.
The fact that the President has ar
ranged a vacation at Cornish indicates
that the German reply to the Ameri-
can note is not expected within two
weeks. 1t was suggested originally
that this reply would be forthcoming
before the end of the present week,
but these predictions now appear not
to have been well founded.

WORKS BOARD APPROVES
TWO ASSESSMENT ROLLS

Modesty of John McMinn and Chas.
Marlatt, members of the board of pub
lie works, in the absence of Alfred
Bavis, president of the board, was
the most unusual feature of the ses-
sion today. After calling the meeting
Mr.. Marlatt informed City Clerk
Bescher that Mr. McMinn was
acting as president pro tenn. Mr.. Nc
Mimi declined the honor with true
Gastonian courtesy. After passing the
office back and forth for some minutes
the board received bids for city adver-
Using and passed on assessment rolls
with Mr.. Marlatt presiding.
Approval was given the primary as
sessment roll for the paving and the
storm sewer on North Ninth street
between Main and A streets. The to-
tol cost of the improvement was S5,.
1851, of which $2,19O.1O was born
by property owners and $2.99S.41 by
the city. OF the city's share $334.64
was transferred to the North A street
fund on account of the incomplete in
tersection which will be laid in as
phalt. The cost per lineal foot as fig-
ured by Clerk Bescher ranged from
$293 to $500, the variation being due
to the different widths of the street.
Sign Assessment Roll.
Members of the board signed the
final assessment roll for curbs and gut
tiers on North Twenty-first street be-
tween Main and E streets. For the
improvement the city paid $539.03 and
the property owners $1.341.5O, making
a total cost of S1,SsO.53. Final approx
al of the Williams street assessment
roll for curbs cutters and sidewalks
showed a total cost of $1,331.52, divid-

OPENS OPPORTUNITY

Any charitable organization which
cares to undertake concert to raise
funds will find the opportunity wait
ing for it at the Commercial club
