REJECTS PROTEST ON
WEST BAY AVE. JOB
COUNCIL CONFIRMS ASSESSMENT
QUESTION MAY GO
INTO COURT.

Five West Bay avenue property
owners who have been protesting to
the city council against assessment of
their property for the recent street
improvement on the ground that they
were exempted from such charges by
the terms of contract made with the
council in 1892 when the right of way
for the street was dedicated, will
have 10 obtain relief through the
courts if they get any, for the council
at its regular meeting Tuesday eve
ming laid the protest on the table and
confirmed the assessment roll for the
Improvement.
The protesting property owners are
E. p. Giles, w. H. Bryan, George H.
Clark, Karl Helenius and f. B. Con-
ner as executor of the E. McReynolds
estate. Their formal protest was pre-
sented this week, as at the last No
vember meeting, by Attorneys Troy &
Sturdevant. In addition, Mr.. Giles,
who was a member of the 1892 coun.
Gil, told of the arrangement made at
that time.
The improvement was made this
summer at total cost of $23,8OO.
The assessment against the property
of those protesting amounts to $4,-
629, or approximately 20 per cent
of the total cost. r.
1t was brought out during consid-
GRAFTON of the question that the plat
and contract had not been filed for
record in the county auditors Office,
and that consequently when the GUS
tomary search of property titles was
made before the project was ordered
the council learned nothing of such
an arrangement: and that the ques-
ton was not raised at the time for
formal protest to the improvement,
but the property owners waited until
the work had been finished and the
time arrived for levying the assess
ments, when after a lengthy search
prompted by them, the plat was final
ly found in the vault in the city clerk S
Office.
The councilmen joined in the state
ment that if they had known any
such arrangement existed, they would
not have ordered the improvement.
Confronted with it now after the work
has been done, they decided the only
thing they could do was to levy the
assessments as usual, and let the mat
ter be threshed out in the courts, as
the city has no money with which it
could pay the disputed assessments.
One change was made in the as
sessment roll, a charge of $302.38
against property owned by Alice l..
Williams being eliminated because of
counter damages, and spread over the
other property in the district.

books" He also cited the fact that
his company had sold tickets at the
rate of 4 1-6 cents all the time since
it has been in business as proof that
we are trying not to squeeze the pub
lie"
He stated that during the past four
months his company had earned a net
profit of only $4,000 on all it's opera
tions. or at the rate of $4,000 a yea.',
which he said would be return of
only l per cent on it's investment of
100000, whereas, he said. it should
earn not less than $4,000 a month.
He told the council he wanted it's
committee to call at the company
Office and go over the company's
books and records, or to take them
whichever it preferred, to get what
ever information it desired before
acting upon the franchise amend
ment
He explained. in closing. that
there are several economies the COM
pany might put into effect rather
than increasing it's fares. and told the
council that it is to study the entire
problem and decide which would be
the best thing to do for the welfare
of the city and the company. that he
desires to have committee from the
council and one from the Chamber of
Commerce consult with the company.

CONSIDER INCREASED
 RATES ON ROAD MATERIAL

Little Rock, Aug. 29.-There were over one hundred present at the called meeting of the Arkansas Good Roads and Drainage Association held yesterday in the hall of the House of Representatives
 Gov. Brough addressed the confer ence, and said that there is now under construction in the state 4506 miles ! of good roads, the legislature having created 168 districts, calling for the Notation of about O,OOO,OOO in bonds Of this amount, approximately $15,- OOO,OOO is tied up by defective acts. While there is some opposition to extra sessions of the legislature, he considered that the emergency war rants it, and he will soon issue call for another extra session to consider remedial road, levee, drainage and school laws. And I am prepared to take the political consequences" said he, a statement that was loudly ap- plauded.
 w. B. Owen, State highway com missioner, who had called the meet ing, stated that is purpose was to con- sider the threatened raise in freight rates on road material, and the short age in cars for the hauling of ma terial, which threatens to handicap very seriously the road building pro- gram of the state.
 A resolution was adopted to appoint committee to negotiate with capl- talists who desire to locate a cement factory in the state, "in order that cement may be obtained cheaper than at the prevailing prices which exist now, which prices we deem exorbi- tant and unjust"
 It was stated that the Northern capitalists have under consideration the establishment of a cement plant near Rocky Comfort, Little River county, where there is limestone deposit that would furnish material for 2,OOO barrels of cement daily for one hundred years.
 Several speakers denounced what they termed the cement trust, claim ing that cement costs $3.29 barrel anywhere in the United States, re- gardless of the haulage, whereas it can be produced and sold at profit for $125 barrel.
 A resolution was adopted calling attention to the great shortage in cars, and the threatened reduction in the number available for the trans portation of road material, which is greatly retarding the road program. The resolution provides that the "railroad administration be requested to take every step necessary to the prompt and efficient furnishing to producers and shippers of sand, stone, gravel, and other road-building ma terials of sufficient number of cars to enable them to make prompt ship ment of the materials needed for the construction of good highways"
 Another resolution was adopted protesting against the proposed radi- cal increase in the rates upon sand, gravel and crushed stone.

Austin. Tex, Nov. 2l.-Quick and

soldier boys who contracted tubercu-

the army may save many lives, as
serted DR.. c. w. Goddard, State

Goddard, land there should be no
delay and no tagging in this golden
opportunity TO do something for the
magnificent young men who Offered
their lives for their country and who
are now afflicted By an immediate
contribution the lives of many Of
these young men will be saved. Many
more will be cured and restored to
their friends and countless others
will be treated so ms not TO spread
tuberculosis among relatives ana
neighbors."
Furthermore, said the State
health officer. "the medical profess
sion stands solidly in the opinion
that quick diagnosis and treatment
will save many patients afflicted with
the great white plague. therefore, il
is our dut yto come to the rescue in
a most generous fashion in the cam
paign which closes on Nov. 26th. !
am happy to say that pledges on the
first day of the drive. Nov. 18th.

this augurs well for the future. We
need every cent of s500.000.00 and

duty This is quickly realized when

eminent will supply ample funds for
our soldiers, giving them
the best medical care and attention
and do all things necessary for them.
There are 1000 Texas soldiers who
