To PAVE Or NOT To PAVE
PROBLEM BEFORE TRUSTEES
But Last Nights Meeting Indicates
That Members Favor Proposition
and Will Go On With 1t Unless
Legal Obstacles Present Them
selves

illegal for the city to proceed with
the work
Mr.. Chartz was followed by Mr..
Meyers, who presented petition
from the protestants and claimed it
represented majority of property
owners.
James G. Sweeney followed and
made a strong talk for paving, say
ing that a majority of the people
within the paving area demanded the
work done and that il would be done
despite the objection Of those whom
he designated as mossbacks and nom
residents. Mr.. Sweeney drifted lit
tie into personalities during the course
of his remarks and when he conclud-
ed George Meyers again arose and
retorted in the same strain.
This continued for some little time
when Mayor Macdonald got up and
made a few conciliatory remarks and
this had the effect of cooling things
off little and the waters again be-
gan running smoothly.
Wilson Brougher then spoke in
favor of the paving ana as the heav-
lest property owner and taxpayer on
Carson street he was listened to with
lot of attention His talk was right
to the point and when he concluded
it was apparent that what he had said
had created an impression in favor of
the work.
Taking up the legal aspect of the,
case Mr.. Sweeney again took the floor
and stated that the statutes of 1911
gave the city trustees full power in
the premises and they could proceed
with the work despite all petitions,
though he claimed that the petitions
he had presented represented major
ity of the frontage, and following the
statement of Mr.. Chartz that ne
would fight the matter for the pro-
testants through the courts, he said
he would tender his services free
to the trustees if litigation followed
favorable action by the board.
All pickering having ceased by this
time and Mr.. Chartz having with
drawn the remark that is our busi-
ness" when Mr.. Brougher asked him
why his clients opposed paving and
explained that there were many
things, besides hard times which
entered into the matter and COM
PEELED his clients to take the position
they had, Mr.. ellison took the floor
and went into the proposition from
start to finish. He explained the
necessity for the pavement, the work
the trustees had done and the pro-
misses they had received from the
public utilities corporations that they
would practically obey the mandates
of the trustees and remove all OBJ
structions that stood in the way of
proper paving. Mr.. Gilson's talkwas
an earnest plea for progression, and
when he concluded it was apparent
that several who had come to the
with the determination Of
paving had begun to waver
and were about ready to join the
ranks of the progressives. In fact
afetr the meeting, two of the oppo-
nents announced that they were ready
to sign any new petition which had
paving for its purpose.
Mr. Gilson's address practically end
ed all argument in the matter and Mr..
Hurley arose and moved the adop-
ton Of the committee report and the
specifications as prepared Dy En-
gineer Kirk. The question was put

Kentucky War ON Ilitcracy,

10 eliminate illiteracy. An iIliteTaCy
commission has been appointed, and

says the Christian Science Monitor.
Moonlight schools have proved re.
markably effective in educating per-
sons past usual school age. In one
county these schools have reduced the
number of illiterates from i.l52 70 %.
Il is reported.
The striking development Of the
moonlight school in Rowan county
that section OF Kentucky which has
so greatly reduced its iliteracy in
period of only three years, was
brought about by the devoted work
OF Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart.
