Absence Of Sidewalks on Minnesota Be-

Risk to West School PnpiIs
EDUCATION OFFICERS
ADDRESS CITY DADS
Superintendent Ramey and President Hayes
Of School Board Say Tragedy is
Imminent al All Times

That several small pupils who are
attending the West school have not
been killed by both speeding and slow
running automobiles is a marvel, was
the assertion made by President J. G..
Mayes of the board of education and
Professor w. f. Ramey superintend-
ent Of public schools at the regular
session of the city council last night.
The imminent peril to life and limb
to which these little tots are daily sub
iected during the school term was
brought out so clearly by the speak
ers that the street and alley commit
tee was instructed to investigate the
matter and decide upon the necessity
for placing sidewalk either on the
north or the south side of Minnesota
avenue between Ninth and Tenth
streets.
The condition of the street. in the
absence of sidewalks, is such that
children have practically no alterna-
tive except to walk in the middle Of
the street and Notwithstanding the dill
igence which is exercised by the prin-
cipal and teachers OF the schools in
conforming with the injunction Of this.

wa.ch over the youngsters, there is
no assurance that at any noon hour or
Immediately succeeding the dismissal
Of school in the afternoon frightful
tragedy might not occur.
Mr. Mayes cited incidents of very
narrow escapes which have come un-
der his observation and one in partic-
ular to which he was one of the par
ties. While driving at very low rate
of speed between Ninth and Tenth
streets several children rushed toward
his ear waving and hailing him in d
happy manner and 1t was only because
he was able to turn the machine into
the curb quickly enough that one or
more of the youngsters was noe eth
er killed or crippled.
He had received many complaints
and expressions Of anxiety on the part
Of parents and was himself witness
to the jeopardy in which pupils Of the
West school are constantly placed
With a sidewalk on either or both
sides OF the street the teachers would
be more successful in keeping their
wards out Of that particular street
made more dangerous by high grade
Superintendent Ramey supplement
ed the statement of Mr.. Mayes and
asked that the council should not wait
until three or four children are killed
before making proper provisions for
their safety.
Councilman Hayes moved that the
matter be referred to the street and
ally committee for immediate atten-
tion
Councilman DuBose suggesed that
until a remedy is applied the children

which this could be done but no solu-

About ten days ago the predatory
animal fund became exhausted, the
state having paid out in bounty over
$40, 600 since March II, 1915 The
bounty is still IN force, but owing to
the money being all used UP, and the
states inability to issue deficiency
warrants or raise a special fund, the
trappcr must hold the vouchers until
the meeting of the next state legisa-
ture in January 1914 The trappers
declare their inability 10 hold the
Vour hers for SO long period, so must
necessarily quit trapping for want of
ready money. The sheep and stock
interests pay the greater part of the
predatory animal tax as they are the
greatest gamers by the extinction of
