Paving Question
People S; Clark
win Give Taxpayers Opportunity to
Express Wishes; Three Routes
Through City Suggested

The question OF paving the streets
of Falion will be left to the people
for final decision. according to the
agreement reached at a regular
meeting OF the city council Tuesday
night.
Mayor Clarke proposed that pc
titions be circulated among the peo-
pie to determine the number that
desire payements and the streets
that they wish to be paved. 1t was
finally decided, however, to publish
notice OF a meeting to be held, prob
ably ia February, to decide the
question. At that meeting property
owners may appear before the coun-
ell and offer objections to the bond
issue that would be necessary to
construct the payements.
Three plans for the pavements
were suggested by the Mayor. One
calls for pavement on Williams ave-
nue. to the court house thence on

and east on Saltwater avenue to

for paving on Maine street from the
court house north on Maine street
to Saltwater avenue and east on
saltwater avenue to the city limits.
The third plan is for construction of
pavement on Maine street from the
court house north to Saltwater ave-
nue..
Nothing was decided at the meet
ing as to which program would be
recommended by the council. 1t
was suggested that the pavement
from Maine street to the city limits
be built ON Richardson avenue.
The city engineer was authorized

Bad Road Condition
Principal McCracken Announces New
Plans for Next Semester; to En-

tones the younger folks are rejoicing
in the fact that the unusual weather
has excused them from school for
another week.
Due to the bad conditions of the
roads it is impossible for the buses,
bringing the out of town students to
the grammar schools, to run. Prin-
cipal j. j. Beatty of the grammar
schools sent out the word Monday
that there would be no school for
Monday.
The Churchill county high school.
however, resumed work yesterday
with complete enrolment except
a few students living on ranches
who were unable TO attend.
The present semester for the
grammar schools and the high
schools will end Friday the goth Of
this month and the new semester
will start January %. Principal

ment at the high school will be in
creased by approximately thirty-two
students, graduating from the gram
mar schools making total of more
than two hundred students. AS a
result, he said, it will be necessary
to employ a new teacher. Several
