and have proved that poultry raising
in this section pays handsomely.

IT'S TIME TO ACT
Citizens Should Make Known to Coun-
Gil Their Wishes on Material
to Pave the Streets

w o'~ NtC DtACCNS
The Star is informed that the coun-
ell is to soon have the opportunity to
sell the $4,000 bond issue for i'm
provements.
At the time, a year ago, that the
citizens voted these bonds it was the
prevailing opinion that a coat of as
phalt from three-quarters of an inch
to two inches would be the proper
material for paving our streets. The
plans and specifications were publish
ed, so no one can claim ignorance on
the subject.
Since then, however, it has been
learned that asphalt laid elsewhere
has broken under the strain put on it,
and many of our citizens have ex-
pressed themselves as unwilling to
have such a thin surfacing put down
It's the Stars opinion (backed by
lega lopinion) that the election did
not bind the council to use any partic-
ular material on the streets, or the
thickness to which it should be laid
There has been a resolution passed
but that can be rescinded. 1t is also
the Stars opinion that the council
will accede to the wishes on the sub,
ject of the citizens, provided it knows
what said wishes are.
The Star would advise all citizens
who wish change in pavement plans
to attend the meeting of the council
tomorrow night, express their ideas
and reasons therefor. If they do not
they need blame nobody but them
selves if another s150.O00 in money il
wasted
Personally, we do not believe the
proposed thin pavement win stand the
wear Of traffic.

Steel Corporation at the end Of March.
Bookings on that date stood at 1884,
765 tons. the lowest since September,
1919. The decline in new business
has been continuous since July, 1920.
The salaricd force Of the American
Smelling and Refining Company will
receive q 20 per cent cut in pay, and
wages of laboring classes between 80
and 40 per cent. effective June /, it
was learned Off tally tonight.
Fifteen hundred members OF the ex
ecutive force, whose annual salaries
total $3,750,000, are affected by the 20
per cen. decrease. Approximately 49,
900 wage earners are affected by the
larger decrease, which, it was said, was
based on the high wages paid during
the war emergency.
The 20 per cent reduction will be
applicable, it was said, to "cvcry one,

that the present reduction represents
the third announced since the ending
Of the war.
One Of the arguments put forth by
the Steel Corporation for maintaining
prices during recent months when the
independents were slashing right and
left was that the cost of living had
not been reduced sufficient to warrant
cut in wages, which, it is believed,
will follow the present reduction in
prices. Drastic wage cuts already have
been made at the plants of the leading
Independent steel companies.
Price cutting by the independents
was begun last November when the
Jones G. Laughin Steel Company
brought it's quotations down to the
Industries Board level. Other com
panies soon followed suit, with the re-
suit that they were soon underselling
the Steel Corporation. This has result
ed in influencing buyers to hold aloof
in the belief that the Steel Corpora
ton would take tho step announced
yesterday
The effect Of the falling off in bust
ness in the iron and steel industry
was reflected in the statement of un-
filled orders on the books of the
