PAVING PROPOSITION
HITS ANOTHER SNAG

The matter of paving in the busi-
ness ection Of Clovis seems to have
hit another snag. The contract to
put down the pavement was let a
few weeks ago to the Rice -Babcock
Company of Amarillo. The paving
companies usually accept the bonds
for the payment Of their work and
to make sure everything was legal,
these men employed Patton & Hatch
to pass on the legality Of the pro-
cedure up until The time the contract
was let. The attorneys advised the
paving company that certain property
owners had not been properly notified
Of the paving assessment and at a
meeting Of the City Council Monday
night il was decided that the legal de-
fects would have to be remedied.
City Attorney W, A, Gillenwater
informed the News this week that
steps will be taken at once to repass
the paving ordinance and properly
notify property owners, but it would
require at least thirty days time.
New bids will be asked for and the
contract relet as the old contract
with the -Babcock will not hold
good.

r. M. HALL HAS BIRTHDAY

On last Thursday, July 10th, R. NJ.
Hall had birthday and it leaked out
that he was on that date AZ years of
age. On the morning Of this auspicous
day, Mr.. Hall breezed forth from his
home down into the city with the air
and suppleness of a "two-year-old"
The noon hour came and he was still
feeling fine and hurriedly made his
way homeward with visions looming
up before him Of sitting down with
his charming wife to a quiet, home
prepared meal. But when he entered
the front door his feathers began to
droop for there before him was a
large company Of people who had
heard of the occasion and had come
forth to help him celebrate. He knew
he had ordered nothing especially
from the grocer and he bagan to won
der how he was going to feed all
those hungry mouths. But his eyes
grew happy and as large as saucers
when he went into the kitchen and
found that all who had come had brot
plate and all the necessary articles
with which to eat and baskets Of good
eats, plenty for themselves and all
those who might come.
II was all a complete surprise to
Mr.. Hall, but as he puts it, "it was
the most agreeable surprise he has
had since his wife surprised him by
marrying him."
The noon hour came and plates
were spread for Messrs. Ted P. Holi-
field, H. M. Smith, ]. R. Carver, John

parted wishing Mr.. Hall and his good

gas which developed a pressure vari-
ously estimated at from 100000

derrick as soon as the pipe was clear.
Mud and water continued for some
minutes to shoot into a fine spray
through the derrick. The pocket was
touched at slightly less than 400
feet. --~ ~&
Several citizens interested in the
company were around the we'll when
the gas came in, and they arrived
in the city late IN the afternoon COW
cred with mud and sand, where the
falling spray had rained upon them.
The roaring of the escaping gas can
be heard more than a mile, witnesses
reported.-Amarillo Daily News.
The company's we'll is located
south Of Amarillo in the Palo Duro
canyon and indicates there are good
oil indications on the plains. Some
