BEATING THE
PEOPLE To IT

II certain members of City Council
can have their way, they will jam the
proposed paving ordinance through.
giving scant courtesy to the people.
and without any regard for the legal
aspect.
A special meeting of City Council
mas been called for tonight, and in
complete plans for the paving pro-
vided by engineer William S. Bacon
VIII be presented, and approved by
Council. Then notice of intention
to consider the ordinance will be pre-
sented and the City Clerk directed to
advertise it in the News, tomorrow,
notifying the public it can be head on
Tuesday night next On Tuesday
night the paving ordinance is to be
introduced and if the necessary four
votes can be secured, will be jammed
through on two readings, and one
week later passed upon it's final read
ing
While the law provides that a no.
tice of intention must be publicly ad-
vertised for at least fourteen days in
order that the people will have ample
notice of an unusual burden to be
placed upon them, Council will rely,
according to present plans, upon a five
days. notice. Of course, this pro-
gram, if adhered to, will prevent the
sale of the proposed bond issue, but
it is understood that some Of the
Councilmen are favorable to giving
out the contract before the bonds are
actually paid for.
An expensive and unfortunate legal
snarl is awaiting the Bridgeton City
Council, and is certain to follow if
the present program is forced by the
Councilmen.

COUNCIL HEARS
MANY PROTEST
Don't Want Paving as
Proposed.
WAS INFORMAL,
Mix-up in Some Way Concerning
a Call for Council
Meeting.

'' ONhNiiHueH last ulSnI were at
City Hall, some of them thinking a
meeting was to be held. Those in the
chamber were President John Evans,
Henry A. Hettinger, John NJ. Laning,
William T. Laning and George Gar
wood. After these gentlemen had as
sembled it was discovered there had
not been call made, and no legal
meeting could be held.
A little items in one of the papers
this week stated that there would be
a meeting and Council would hear
from those who wanted to speak upon
the paving project.
There were some fifteen or twenty
persons present. If this number rep
resents the public sentiment then the
citizens are unanimously opposed to
the paving proposition, for every
voice raised was in protest, and not
a single person outside of Council
spoke in favor of burdening the town
with the big bond issue.
Justice of the Peace Samuel NJ. Hail.
of North Laurel Street, said that he
had hesitated in speaking as he had
been informed that Councilman Fox
had said that Council would not be
dictated to by outsiders. Mr.. Hall has
large property interests on North
Laurel street, and he said he was op-
posed to the proposed paving scheme
for three reasons. First, the people
were not in position to be further
burdened with increasing taxes, sec
ond, because Bridgeton was not at
this time in position to take on a big
bond issue, and third, a good gravel
road was preferable to hard paved
residential streets.
Theodore Edwards said he did not
live on the line of the proposed paw.
ing, but he was opposed to the gen
eral scheme as proposed, as it would
prove an unnecessary burden upon
the taxpayers.
Councilman { Hettinger explained
that the Pioneer was wrong in its
estimate of the proposed paving cost
that Council had gone over the mat
ter very carefully and the expense
1yo,,1J ~o+ oxaoo5 nA0
Another member of City Council ex-
pressed the opinion that the cost oi
paved streets, would be but little more
than built gravel roads, taking the
work done on the East Lake dam as
a comparison.
East Commerce Street residents
and taxpayers present were Thomas
H. Bowen, Peter P. Phillips, Roland
Hemsley, Edgar Barnes and George
Hitchner. All of these home owners
were opposed to the paving of East
Commerce Street and so expressed
themselves to the Council. ~-~s -
Mr.. Hitchner said his taxes were
now a burden and that there was nc
reason why further burden should be
added with paving, thereby increasing
the taxes to a considerable extent.
Thomas H. Bowen argued against
the paving of residential streets with
hard material, and said that he did
not want it in front of his residence
even if it cost nothing. There were
brief protests from Edgar J. Barnes
Roland Hemsley and Scott Hitchner
1t is understood that Council will
again be at Council chamber tonight
and hear any one who desires to say
anything, and at the meeting on Tues
day night will take up the notice Of
intention proposing the paving.

WHAT WOMEN DID AT SAN FRANCISCO

Among the important measures adopted at the San Francisco con vention of the National Council of Women Voters, in session July Sth, 9th and 10th, was the pledge of support to Mrs. Carrie chapman Catt when she campaigns in the state of New York for womans suffrage this autumn. Mrs. DeVoe will go east early in the autumn
 to give Mrs. Catt her personal aid. Together they will tour the state

It is proposed that the Mexican intervention, if one sha'l be decided upon, will be through concerted action on the part of practically all of the other American nations. Naturally the bulk of the work and cost will fall on the United States, but the responsibility will be joint.
 It is not believed that an inva- sion of Mexico will be necessary even in case of a refusal on the part of the various leaders to CO., operate in the formation of respon- sible government. It is thought that the occupation of Vera Cruz will be sufficient to show that the con- cert of American nations have de- termiued to put an end to disorder In Mexico. and that accomplished that the people of Mexico will do the rest.
