how to do 1t in a week.
But when he tried to teach his

She isn't. But she's like most other

She does II we'll too. In the new

MAKES APPEAL
FOR MORE Time
Liberty Housing Co. Wants
Extension for Laying
Sidewalks
STREET DIRECTORS
HEAR MR.. McCOVERN

George II. McG Govern, president OF
the Liberty Housing Company re-
Quested the Street and Sewer Dlrec-
tors this morning for an extension of
time in grading and laying a side
walk on Maryland avenue from Sew
enth avenue south TO city line along
the front of the company's property.
Mr. McGovern appeared before
the directors in response to a 20-day
notice to have these walks complet-
ed. Mr.. McGovern informed the di-
rectors that owing TO the section
through which the sidewalk Is 10 be
constructed being composed OF a
considerable quantity Of rock and
stone. it would be almost impos-
sib,e for the company to have the
work completed in the specified
time Of 20 days. Mr.. Sparks moved
the notice be complied with.
This brought up a discussion rela-
tive TO the conditions OF the side
walks in this section Of the city.
Director Sparks said he had been
solicited by former City Council
men to have something done with
this especial sidewalk
Mr.. McGovern stated he was more
than pleased to learn where the
complaint came from and said he
would be greatly surprised If the
department should allow spite work
TO cause any injustice to be done
to any property owner.
Mr.. McGovern requested Director
Sparks TO imbody in his motion to
cause immediate paving to be done.
name or names OF the complainant
so that should any civil action or
court case arise over this project II
would be a matter of record. Nc
Govern refused TO divulge the name
he referred to, saying II was up to
the directors TO do the naming, but
he could substantiate his claims
Mr.. McGovern said it had taken
the city three years 10 pave the op- |
posite side of the street and he felt
an extension was due the Liberty I
Housing Company, operators Of the I
Cleveland Heights Cooperation The 1
company, Mr.. McGovern said. was
willing to do the paving and only
desired time.
In his appeal to the directors, Mr..
McGovern pointed out that COM
pany had spent 100000 in response
to President Harding's appeal TO do
as much construction work as pos
sihe to provide work for the un-
employed, while many companies
had totally failed to respond TO the
Presidents appeal. For this reason.
II no other, he said, he felt some
consideration should be given the
in these matters. at this
time. No action was taken on Mr..
Sparks motion.

Mr.. Gray. speaking for the rail-
road company. said that under the
Governments plan of control OF

no money for such improvements as
the erection OF an overhead bridge.
He said he felt the company could
see its way clear 10 do the work In
1924. providing the county would
construct the approaches and bear
half the cost of the bridge This
plan was objected to by Commits
sioner Mccoy. who said he felt the
railroad company should take care
OF its own improvements. the road
way being there before the railroad
tracks. Mr.. Gray said the estimat-
ed cost of the proposed bridge
would be s153.oo0.
Mr.. White said he had under
stood the Railroad Company at one
time had secured estimates for a
bridge at Edgemoor but for some
reason the work was not carried on.
Frank r. Jones, member of the
Levy Court said he favored the
Company bearing one-half the total
cost of the improvements. It was
said by member of the delegation !
hat there are at present eight |
racks at the crossing and the safety
gates are 1876 feet apart.
The Court Commissioners ex-
planned how the county had borne
/ part of the cost OF the Lum-
brook bridge on the B. and o. Rail
'oad. They explained that the
county paid its share because the
'oadWay was changed 10 cross lne
racks.
Mr.. Bradford said he felt the sug-
,estion made by Mr.. Gray was a
rood one. that it was up TO the
county TO do its share.
Some discussion ensued over the
width OF the proposed bridge, en-
