STREET IMPROVEMENTS
ON PROGRAM FOR 1923

Plans for next years street i'm
provements already are being formu-
lated by Den Davis, city civil engin-
Ger and street commissioners, accord
ing to a statement Wednesday by Mr.,
Davis.
South Fifth street from Z to H
streets and West Fifth street from
the National road to Richmond ave
nue. are two main thoroughfares
which have needed paving for
years. and they are the first streets
which will receive the attention next
year.
THE streets mentioned are two OF
the most important and heavily trav-
eled thoroughfares in the CITY," said
Mr.. Davis at is costing the city
quite large sum to maintain them in
their present condition. With minor
repairs, the churck holes can not be
kept out The streets need perma-
nent repairs. In certain sections OF
the city the streets can be maintained
by light repairs, and they can be kept
smooth for service, but heavily tray
eled streets should be permanently
paved. 1t is waste OF money to try
to keep them in repair unless perma
nently paved"

GOVERNMENT DECIDES
TO TAKE NO ACTION
ON PACKING MERGER

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-Whether
Armour and company would proceed
with negotiations for acquisition Of
the physical assets OF Morris and COM
pany, one of it's competitors among
the big Five" packing establish
ments following the decision of the
government to take no action on the
proposal at this tine had not been in
dicated today in any further develop
ments in the matter here.
Formal announcement that under
the provisions of the packers and
stockyards act, which he administers,
there appeared to be no occasion for
action by the government on the pro-
posal at this time was made late yes
terday by the secretary of agriculture.
Reached after long study of the pro
posal informally laid before him by J.
Ogden Armour and after conferences
with President Harding and Attorney
General Daugherty who submitted an
opinion made public with the an
nouncement, Secretary Wallace said
his decision was based on the fact
that there was nothing in the afore-
mentioned act which specifically pro
hibits the purchase by one packer Of
the physical assets of another.
The question to be considered, Mr.
Wallace said, in his decision which
also was transmitted to the senate in
response to a resolution of Senator
LaFollette, Republican, Wisconsin,
was whether the proposed purchase
would bring about conditions or ac-
lions which would come within the
| prohibitions of the act There was
no thought at any time in the gov
ernment's consideration of the pro
poeal, he said, of approving such a
| transaction in advance.
The attorney general in his opinion
said the act was essentially a regula-
tory one and that it's provisions did
not contemplate or require that the
question of agriculture should advise
the industry in regard to such a pro
posed transaction in advance of its
i contamination.

Petitions Are Circulated to
Keep Theatres Open on Sunday

ments states that no one shall follow
his usual vocation except in cases of
necessity and for charity. If the law
is inforced it will compel the cigar
stores, drug stores, except for medi-
cine, candy stores, soft drink parlors
and gasoline filling stations to remain
closed on Sunday. People who have
signed the petition point out the I'M
fairness of singing out the motion pic
ture houses and not including the pas
oline stations and cigar stores. They
say that one is no more of violation
of the law than the other and that the
amusement houses afford recreation
for people who cannot afford to own
an automobile.
