SAYS PAVING
ACT IS ILLEGAL
Opinion of City Attorney Re-
ceiyed Concerning Broad
Street and Hall Avenue Jobs

An opinion received by the Board
of Aldermen last night from City
Attorney Leo Goldberger informing
them that their action in introducing
a resolution calling for the paving of
Hall avenue and Broad street was IL
legal will mean that these two paving
propositions will again be brought up
this time separately-as will the
High street and Laurie street jobs,
and it is not unlikely that one or
more of them will receive a sufficient
number of votes to pass, even if
Mayor Frank Dorsey again vetoes the
measures as he did when they were
presented to him in combined form.
AS Attorney Goldberger was asked
to give an opinion on the High street
and Laurie street matter as well as the
Hall avenue and Broad street job, but
did not have it before the board last
night, no action was taken then but
tonight's meeting will probably see
something done. Mr.. >Goldberger
stated orally that the High street and
Laurie street proposition was the same
as that in which he handed in the
opinion, which will mean that they
will also be reacted upon.
AS the members of the board were
divided in their opinion as to which
streets should be paved and which
should not vote large enough to pass
the ordinances over the Mayors veto
was not obtainable. Witch the board
acting separately on each street, how
ever, it is possible that some sort of
a compromise might be reached which
will result in some of these streets in
question being paved.
The most centrally located street
in question is the High street job,
which may be paved from Smith to
Fayette street, distance of two
blocks.
