Will Try to Adjust
the Fairgrounds Road
Paving Controversy

! Now 60 get down to business. The
committee of business men who sup
ported the amendments through to
victory, is not now to disband, at the
very threshold of a larger field of
endeavor, and plans are being made to-
day for a reconsideration and read
iustment of the fairgrounds paving
muddle. 1t is believed that this blot
on the city's record was responsible
for the vote of Ward 5, the only
ward which returned majority
against the amendments. Members of
the committee Of business men who
backed the amendments, met this morn
ing and plans are being made to meet
the property holders of North Salem,
and especially along the Fairgrounds
lroad in n meeting at which the propo-
sition Of settling the question fairly
TO the city and property holders will
| be arranged.
The question of how much the city
should assess the abutting property in
/ this section of the city was taken up
this morning by several prominent men
on the committee, and with the discov-
cry of 4 fund which was made up of
donations, when the paving was laid,
from many men of Salem, to the
amount Vt $500, or more, it is believed
basis can be found for an amieable
adjustment.
Announcements will be made in a
day or so concerning the meeting which
will be held in North Salem to con-
slider the proposition.
