Of DEBATE AM ON c
MARSE|LLES F ok
WIDE DIVERGENCE OF OPINION
is HEARD ON QUESTION OF
IMPROVING OR NOT TO IN.
PROVE 49, SOME FAVOR DELAY
TILL PRICES TUMBLE.

The principal topic of conversation
amongst our citizens is in regard to
the paving and the coming election in
which the matter of issuing bonds for
the construction OF concrete arch
through the alleys on the west side
OF the stores on Main street from the
junction of Glenn avenue, with Fill.
brown street to the railroad ditch,
north of the c., r. |. 4 p. railroad.
Some OF our citizens believe that
the paving ought to wait until such
time as prices would be lower in ma.
terial aud labor and that in any case
Bluff street be paved first so that
the traffic ovei tie IVY Way would
come straight through the city and
not make two or three turns coming
down Washington street and thence
up Main street and turn again down
through Clark street and up Glenn
avenue to get on to the Ivy Way
again And others believe that this
paving should be done at once and
that Bluff street should wait for
state aid which will be decided at
the next meeting of the legislature,
whether or not we get any assistance
from that source.
As to the concrete arch through the
alley there is no doubt in anybodys
mind that this is an absolute neces-
sity and should be constructed by spe-
cial assessment or by the city voting
the bonds But the whole matter will
be settled by the people at the coming
election.

SLIGHT ADVANCE

Chicago. Sept 2S.-ln accord with
report Of graver prospects Of iishtir =;
at the Dardano,les, wheat showed a
decided tendency toward higher prices
today during the early dealings. Up
turns in Liverpool quotations gave
further emphasis TO bullish sentiment.
The fact that receipts of spring wheat
in this country and in Canada are run
ming about double the totals Of a year
ago failed to act as an offset TO war
talk. The opening, which ranged
from &c to 4c higher, with Deem
Der $105ls to St064 and MAJ Sl09l4
to s10912, was followed by slight re
action and then by a fresh advance.
Corn and oats averaged higher with
wheat. New export business in corn
was noted After opening at i4c oft
to sc advance, December $3.50 to
597fc, the corn market held within
the initial range.
Oats started lsc lower to a like ad-
vance, December 37}sc to 37Ec, and
later scored slight general gains.
