Adoption of resolutions endorsin,
the present paving program il
Filler. and urging all owners o
property on Main street to do all il
their power To speedily bring il TO 1
alization. was one OF the impor
tant actions taken at "A meeting ol
the Filler Commercial club Tuesday
evening.
Preceding the adoption OF the res.
olutions, a general discussion was
had on the merits of the proposed
improvement. Sentiment was unan-
imous in voicing approval OF the prof.
ect
w. ID. Gillis. village clerk, en-
phasized some important points in
regard to the paving question.
With the ten-year payment plan,
paving will be comparatively mex
pensive TO property owners" he
said. The estimated cost of paving
Main street is approximately $780,
600. This makes the assessment
against 25-foot lost about $3.50, to
be paid in ten equal payments, or SIS
year, with the first payment com
ing a year after installation OF the
much needed Improvement
1t seems unreasonable that OBJ
lection can be made to undue ex-
pense, when the cost is so low.
Another important factor is the
fact that nearly half of the $4,000
would be spent right here in Filler
on labor, which in turn would re-
dound TO the benefit OF the town
in general. doing much to relieve the
apparent financial stringency.
Filler is the trade center OF a wide
area, and must keep pace with the
advances made I'm street and road i'm
provements of neighboring towns,
else we will live to regret il. With
the completion of the state highway |
leading TO the town on both sides |
traffic will be directed around the !
village unless streets are put in con |
dition equal to that OF country roads |
Filters streets have wonderful
possibilities; they can be made beau

attractive that retired farmers and
others will not Immediately make

A. Employees.

Breaking open a G.. F. e. A. freight
car and piling a quantity of merchan-
disc on a flat car, preparatory to

and police and sheriff's office were
notified by the employees. The at
tempted robbery was staged last night
between 10 and II o'clock.
The car was brought into Pensacola
yesterday and was loaded with mis-
cellaneous merchandise. Among the
goods taken out of the car was a
quantity of blankets, comforts and
other articles, including so pairs of
shoes consigned to Forscheimer- The
merchandise was all taken to the yard

worth of shoes found TO be missing
after checking up.
The train crew, in switching cars
past the merchandise car, noticed the
goods piled on nearby flat car and
soon discovered the broken car. In
the search several members of the
crew heard the would-be burglars
talking. To avoid giving the alarm
other cars were switched while one
of the members teIephnned the Off

call and investigated the robbery. Up
