for Mr.. Beach.
According 10 the councilman's story.
he secured a meal ticket at breakfast
time from Gene Davis. an employe Of
the cafe, and did not pay for il in ad-
vance. as he had been running an ac-
count. At supper he picked up a cigar
at the stand near the entrance and
remarked that it could be punched on
his meal ticket. Before the crowd that
was there for Sunday night supper the
proprietor became abusive, saying
Beach didn't have any ticket, and that
it hadn', been paid for and the cafe
did not 90 credit business, states the
plaintiff.
Becoming ansered, the restaurant
man picked him up bodily and forcibly
put him out OF the cafe into the street,
is the story the stock powder man
tells.
Difficulty in promptly collecting bills
in the past had led TO the inclusion
Of Mr.. Beach in the pay-in advance
system like other customers. says Mr..
Griffith II. speaking OF the ARRAY. There
was some dispute about the purchasing
OF e cigar and the payment for the
mea, ticket at breakfast time, but the
matter was not taken up, as neither

has had during the past week made it

paved with asphaltic concrete. The
law says that the cost of paving in
front Of the corner lots shall be as
sessed against all, property to the
middle of the block. not exceeding 500
feet.
The protest which has been filed
gives twenty reasons why the assess
ment should not be made in this man
ner. The principal reasons are that
the assessment is in excess OF the ben
efits conferred upon the property by
the paving; that the paving is Of no
special benefit to the property; that
the law is Unconstitutional and that
the city's manner Of arriving at the
percentage is unjust and Illegal.
