WILLIAMS REPORTS FUNDS
DONATED TO AID BELC|ANS

schools and in what the school tries
to do than the larger schools, County
superintendent Williams said today in
making a report of the Lincoln fund
donations.
A school taught by John Morland in
Webster township averaged ten cents
for each pupil. There are thirteen
pupils in the room. In the school
taught by Mary Stills in Washington

pupil, the Franklin township school

feet north and south of the street, ask
ed who was responsible for initiating
the proceedings for paving North A
street, calling attention to the fact
that the Improvement had never been
petitioned for.
Mayor Takes Blame.
He was interrupted by Mayor Rob-
bins after he had said North A was not
business street but was instead a
"hallowed' thoroughfare because so
many churches were located on 1t.
81 take the responsibility for Initial
ing these proceedings. said Mayor
Robbins. "At first | was against the
proposed bond issue to meet the city's
share of the permanent Improvement
program but not one citizen champion
ed my cause so naturally reached the
conclusion that the people of Rich
mond desired these various improve
ments. When l advised the board to
initiate proceedings for the proposed
improvements I believed l was re-
spending to public demand"
Makes First Protest.
John Foley said this was the first
time he had entered complaint
against any action on the part of the
city in thirty-three years but he was
now convinced some one was trying
to hand the property owners Of North
A street gold brick" He said these
property owners did not want the
street paved and they were looking to
council for fair play. He said a
macadam roadway would cost only a
third what a brick street would and
the difference in the cost would main
tain the macadam roadway for years
TO come.
Dr. J. NJ. Wamp,er did not oppose
the permanent Improvement of the
street but urged cement roadway if
the street was to be improved. He
said that examples of concrete road
way in the north part of the city were
not fair examples of the excellence Of
such paving. A good example, he said,
was that section of South Nineteenth
street in the Reeveston addition.
After the meeting practically every
councilman expressed determination to
stand pat on the policy of permanently
improving number of the principal
streets of the city. They said they
had anticipated vigorous opposition
from the first and were prepared for
1t.
Three councilmen laughingly stated
that they had been threatened with
political determination if they support
ed the Improvement program.
