Senator James B. Hickman, who IA
vored the bills at Dover, explained
that he had suggested to William P.
Bancroft that the Baltimore bills"
would be opposed in that they com
pelled owners on paved streets to bear
cost of other street improvements.
Mr.. Hickman said that he thought the
bills as passed. fair, and he would
have to bear his share OF large lot
OF street paving.
Mr.. Adalr said the report that the
city had reached its borrowing limit
was wrong. that the total bond issue
permftted by law had not been
reached and Il never would be. He
said that the Street and Sewer De-
partment at the present time has more
borrowed money lying in bank draw
ing two per cent. interest, for which
the city was paying four per cent,
than the department ever had for
street Improvements. He said II the
law was signed, Il would be attacked
in the courts and all street pavins
now under way or projected, would
be tied up
