TO SURVEY MAIN STREET.
Council Takes Paving Action-Sun'
day Lid On Tight-Other Matters.

A spirited meeting of the new city
council was held Tuesday night, at
which several matters of public in
terest were discussed and upon which
action was taken. Chief among these
was the matter of paving Main street.
Definite steps were taken looking to
this much desired end, and an eng1-
neer was employed to survey the
street and estimate the cost of paw
ing the thoroughfare from the rail-
road to the lower corner Of the cot
ton mill, which takes in the entire
length of the business district.
Lieut.. G. D. Ryan, former super
intendent of the electric light plant
of the city, is to make the necessary
survey at once and submit to council
an estimate of the cost. Immediate
ly upon receipt of this information
council will proceed to raise the
money for the work, and it is eX-
pected that actual work will be COM
menced before the end of summer.
The new law, passed by the last leg
islature, has already been enacted by
vote of the citizens of Bamberg in
this city, giving the council author1-
tv to levy an abutting tax to pay for
one-half of the cost of permanent
street paving. The matter of the city
finances has been investigated and it
is believed that no obstacle will be
found barring the city from raising
it's part of the cost of paving.
The council decided to levy dog
tax of 50, beginning July 1, and the
police force has been Instructed to
collect the tax or the dog. After
giving a reasonable time to redeem
the CANNES by paying the tax, the
dogs are to be slain.
The council decided to prohibit
cut outs on automobiles. No siren
or other freak whistles or gongs are
to be allowed, and automobiles must
not be parked more than three feet
from the curbing on Main street.
Instructions were given the police
force to rigidly enforce the law pro-
hibiting the carrying of unlawful pis-
tolls.
Another matter that is of consid-
erable interest was that of Sunday
closing. Council decided to stop all
manner of commercial activities on
the Sabbath day, including soft drink
and fruit stands, cigar or tobacco
selling, Sunday selling of newspapers
or magazines. and the delivery of ice
or meats, etc: In fact, genuine Sun
day blue laws are now effective
throughout the city.
It is planned by the city council,
in regard to the paving of Main
street, to improve the system OF
street lighting in the business dis
trict. It has been suggested, and
meets with the evident approval of
the new council, that attractive lights
will be installed on Main street, all
wires to be put in underground con-
duits, including telephone and tele-
graph wires. This improvement Is
expected to be made with the paving
of the street.
Councilman LaVerne Thomas has
been made superintendent of streets;
B. T. Fielder was elected mayor pro
tem.; E. L. Price, Jr., hall manager,
and L. P. Mcmillan city clerk and
treasurer.

 action by the committee and it is thought examination of witnesses next week may be hastened and no more called.
 WANT HOUSE SUMMONED
 Some members of the committee want Colonel House and others summoned, however. and another committee fight may result.
 Much interest was manifest in the set of reservations shown to senators Iby Mr. Lodge. It was said he did not aggressively advocate their adoption but merely asked the opinion of several senators regarding them. It is under stood they differ in phraseology from those drafted by the seven senators un- der the lead of Senator McNary, repub- lican, Oregon. but that some of the seven were most favorably impressed by them.
 It was suggested as one possibility that the entire reservation group might eventually substitute the reservations fra amed by the republican leader for the McNary draft.
 Mir Lodge has not publicly committed himself, however. in favor of a reserva- tion programme as against the adoption of textual amendments to the treaty.
 One of the many conferences of the day was held late this afternoon at Mr.-Lodge's office and Senator McNary was present.
 It was said to be the first time the two had gone over at length the reserva- tion question. Afterward neither had any announcement to make. senator Hitchcock also talked with Senator Me Nary before going to the White House, and during the day several republican members of the foreign relations com mittee went over together the senate situation.
 Monday the committee will hear Thomas r. Willard. called as an expert or Far Ea stern affairs. and on Wednes- day. unless the White House confer ence is continued, members will ques- tion J. c. Ferguson, another expert, on the situation in the Far East.
