T FAME Of PAVING
TAI TiIIn nITu IN
lN l1l1 Ulll ii
TOLD IN STORY

The short block of Church street be-
tween Lee and Jackson streets will be
paved within a few days, the delay
having been caused by the shortage of
material and the railroad car scarcity.
City Engineer Ansley states that the
paving can be completed in three days,
with two weeks allowed then for the
proper drying process.
Lee street was opened yesterday
through Dodson street.-the end of .he
paving begun asst summer at the IN
tersection of Lee and Lamar streets. 1t
is magnificent stretch of paving and
joy for the automobilists, although
frequent complaints are being made be-
cause of the fearful speed at which
some of the cars are being driven. The
police department has this feature in
hand.
The recent paving, with more to be
done on Church and Taylor streets, has
created interest everywhere. 1t is
something new in the art, and for this
reason 1t has made City Engineer Ans
ley and the city government of Ameri-
Gus known far and wide Chairman E.
L. Bell, of the street committee, had
the matter in hand as representative
of the Mayor and City Council.
Publicity is Given.
In current issue OF the Municipal
Journal, of New York. almost two full
pages as the leading article of the issue
were given to story on the paving In
Americus. Several pictures appeared
in the story, including sight OF the
laborers and the machinery at work on
Lee street near the First Methodist
church, and other scenes aong the
route of the work.
The artice in the Journal said
"A new method of finishing concrete
road surface has been adopted by some
Southern cities which eliminates hand
floating from a bridge. The construc-
ton of concrete pavement using this
method is described as follows by j.
E. Ansley, city engineer of Americus,
Georgia, in which city the work was
done.

pave in front of their properties, the

FARMERS Lead
THEY SECURE MOST LEGISLA-
TION AT PIERRE.

Pierre, Feb. 5.-While South Da-
kota has not got into the n~on-partisan
league class, there is more farmer
legislation proposed and under con
sideration than at any former ses-
sion. About the only thing which
stands in the way of several direct
enactments is the state constitution
which has stood in the way of many
proposed movements in past years,
and which the people have several
times refused to change in any way.
The movements so far as the resolu-
ton looking toward the establishment
of the office of state market commits
sioner, the bill for establishing the
rural credits system for the state. and
the resolution for a commission look
ing into NEAR of providing state hail
insurance for the farmers of the
state, these as the principal move
ments along with several Incidental
bills. one Of which passed the house
Saturday by the farmer vote. giving
county boards of equalization the
right TO make reassessments where
il can be shown to them hat there
has been error or unwarranted dis
N township looked at the question
of values from an entirely different
angle than did the assessor in an
other township. Under existing laws
the county board has nc power to
change individual assessments. but
must make any adjustments by dis
tricts of subdivisions as a whole.
which 1t is claimed, leads to just as
unwarranted determinations against
property owners in one direction as
can individual discrimination of as
SCISSORS in another direction.

Howes, of Beadle; Waters, of Hand,
and Reeves, of Brown, led the oppo-
sition to the bill, with Urdahl taking
the brunt of the fight for it. The de
bate brought allegations hat the
support of the bill was based on the
u%tterances of a sensational sheet,
which took up the matter without in
vestigation. The bill was SO drawn,
the charge was made that ii was in
tended to point to Prof. Jones as
plainly as If he had been named in
person. Attempts were made to
amend it to make this direction loss
definitely, all of which were vot I'd
down. On roll call the bill was lost
by a vote of 16 yeas to rs nays.
