PAVING BILL Vetoed

FOR OWN PAVING.

The bill providing that the cities
of the class in which Madison be
longs shall pay for paving street in
tersections from their general funds.
was vetoed by GOV. Norbeck late
yesterday, according TO advices re
eeiyed today.
The bill was introduced in the late
Legislature and passed without a
great deal of consideration. The
solons copied the law of Iowa and
Minnesota, and considering that it
was satisfactory in those states. and
that it had formerly been in effect
in this state. they passed il in a more
or less perfunctory manner
When the intent and purport Of
the law became known in Madison
and other cities in which great i'm
provements are in the way Of being
developed. public spirited men pro
tested Immediately and vigorously
The governor was evidently some
what surprised at the sudden and
decided antagonism, and for a time
it was impossible to forecast the fate
of the bill, or the effect it would
have on development of city streets
in small cities. Gov. Norbeck stud
led the question carefully. apparent
ly, and. at almost the last possible
hour, exercised his power of veto.
Nobody questioned the equity and
justice of the bill providing for the
whole city improving the intersee-
tons of streets; that was a matter
left without argument. But bust
ness men, men with the welfare and
development of the city at heart, and
men with vision into the future
they all saw hat it would be impos-
sible to make certain elements OF
cities see the benefits accruing from
development, and il would follow
that If they were blind to these ben
efits, they never would vote the pub
lie money-money that they would
eventually have to pay-for such i'm
provements. The results would be
that paving would be halted at the
street

d&A S.-Major General John ]
IN Pershing, commander of the
g first American expedition
| ary force to France, arrived in Eng
| land today, accompanied by his staff
He reported pleasant trip and ex
pressed the utmost astonishment that
the news OF his departure had been
SO successfully suppressed.
II thought the whole world knew
about my leaving the United States,
he declared.
The America army chief and his
staff were given a tremendous ova-
ton on their arrival. A special train
was in waiting for the party. It was
due to arrive In London at 800
o'clock this afternoon.
Eve are very glad to be the stand
ard bearers OF our country in this
great war for civilization" General
Pershing asserted. "To land on Brit
ish soil and receive such a welcome
is very significant-and very deeply
appreciated.
1--WE expect soon to be playing our
7art-and I hope it will lbe very
large part on the western front"
Pershing and his staff worked hard
all the way across, preparing plans
for their work in France.
Included In Pershing's party was
his staff and detachments of engi-
neers and nurses. Distinguished
British army and navy officers met
them here with the warmest welcome,
the voyage over from America WIS an
uneventful one. No submarines were
encountered and no mine seen. The
weather was good and the sea smooth.
American destroyers conveyed the
ship all the way. They were joined
by flotilla of British destroyers at
a point a hundred miles off the
Irish coast.
The ship on which the Americans
arrived was given a noisy welcome in
the harbor.
When 1t docked a guard of honor
lined up on the landing stage includ-
ing high British army and navy Off
GERS. They stood rigid at salute as
the Star Spangled Banner was played
and as Pershfng descended the gang
plank He formally Inspected a group
of British soldiers who were in the
receiving party-stoppfng to chat a
with one guardsman on
whose sleeve he had noticed stripes
he had been twice wounded.
Pershing wanted to know the why
and wherefore of the stripes and of
the wounds.
Then the American general and
his staff returned aboard ship, lining
up on the deck in salute as the band
played God Save the King.
After all these formal ceremonies,
General Pershing received q large
