More OF the sham battle maneuvers
practiced by the city council last week
are in prospect for this evenings alder
manic session il any of the members
have the temerity to touch upon the
question of street appropriations. The
line of cleavage among the aldermen is
pretty well divided between the members
who suspect favoritism and extravaganza
in spending street money and those who
scoff at any reflection on the thriftiness
of the street or water committees. Street
and water money furnish a sensitive
topic and if the city fathers are bent on
attending strictly to business probably
they will relegate that topic TO the rear.
It is expected that the city engineer will
have a report on the proposed resurvey
of Pike street and if desirable candi-
date has been found the mayor may APP
point a city physician. 1t develops that
no one bid on the paving project and any
and all plans for improving South Main
street have been shelved until spring.

On the contrary, relatives of the soldier
