CHANGE MATERIAL
FOR CITY PAVING
Petition Is Presented to the Council
Discuss X. r. Crossings and
Raising Teachers Pay

That the paving contracted for and
that which is now under course of con-
struction in the city, is unsatisfactory
and will not prove durable, is the con-
census of opinion of the citizens of
Greenwood as expressed in petition
which was brought before the City
Council at it's meeting here on last
Tuesday night. The members of the
Council discussed the petition at leng-
tn with M. G.. Hornaday of the Horn
aday Construction Co., who was let
the contract.
Owing to the unusually heavy rains
which have occurred here this winter,
the paving failed to properly settle
to change the material being used
stating that the soil here was not ad-
apted to this material. Mr.. Hornaday
stated that although he had already
ordered the material contracted for
that the change in the paving could
be arranged. The Council voted to use
the best material obtainable for the
city streets and the same will be con-
structed of a concrete base with an
asphalt surface. The change in the
pavings plans will cost approximately
fifty per cent more than was first
contemplated, but it is believed that
in the long run the more expensive
material will prove economical and
will be more lasting and satisfactory.
DISCUSS r. r. CROSSINGS.
The Chamber of Commerce presen-
ted a petition to the Council asking
that action be taken at once in re-
gard to the crossings of Southern
Railroad in Greenwood. These cross
ings are in deplorable condition, ac-
cording to the petition and should be
repaired at once. The Chamber Of
Commerce also called attention to the
fact that the railroad cars are parked
close to sidewalks near the crossings
and the view of pedestrians or motor
lists is hidden from approaching trains.
The members of the Council agreed
at once to take up the matter with
the railroad and the 'flying switch
ing" in the yards and across the pub
lie crossings will be prohibited.
MAY RAISE TEACHERS PAY.
A committee of ladies appeared in
person before the Council and discuss
ed with the members the matter of
raising the salaries of the teachers
in the Greenwood public schools. This
matter has been considered by the
Council for some time and although
no action was taken Tuesday night 1T
is believed the desired result will be
accomplished within the near future.
