Solid South OF
Council Delays
High Question

Alderman Giesys resolution pro
viding for change in the grade on
High street which. would eliminate
the dip" called for in the present
specifications. was defeated by the
"solid south" side of the council
chamber when the eldermen held
their regular meeting last night.
The vote was six to five. and the
resolution was finally re-referred
to a special committee which was
instructed to get the signatures
from all property owners who de-
sinre the change in grade. The city,
it is understood, will be forced to
stand the expense Of the change,
due. to it's failure to follow the orig
inal plans.
That too many streets are being
graveled, and that the practice
should be discontinued unless the
council wants macadam instead of
paving. was the, view taken last
night by Councilman w. f. Buch-
ner, chairman of the street com
mittee. Several petitions for per-
mission to gravel were read at the
meeting.
'If we grant all these requests
we will have to put on several more
teams and drivers" Mr.. Buchner
said. The new council will simply
have to refuse these requests" The
petitions were referred to the
street committee.
The election of Officers Brown
and Porter, recommended for office
by Chief of Police Welsh, was
postponed by the council which de-
cided the two policemen should,
however, be kept on the payroll.
The city was again requested to
take over the camp grounds by c.
B. Clancy. The grounds. he said,
have been visited by 2S45 cars and
1880 persons who spent $4,000 in
the city and brought approximately
100000 worth of property here,
Two thousand dollars would be the
cost of operating the grounds for
jone year Mr. Clancy believed. No
consideration was given the matter
by the council last night.

Cannot Change
Style of Rail
Crossing Signs

The type of warning signs auth
orized by the legislature of 1912
for use at railroad crossings can
not be changed without additional
legislation authorizing such a
change, according to an opinion
written by Attorney General Van
Wrinkle for the information of the
public service commission. In a
letter requesting the opinion the
commission had pointed out that
it had been confronted with pro-
posal to substitute for the present
signs a new sign of greatly i'm
proved pattern, providing ready
visibility after night.
