A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The decslon OF Judge Cole III the paving
case creates very serious situation. The point
on which the decision rests for the moment Ia
precarious II the court should finally decide
that 1t Is OF sufficient substance to build per-
manent injunction upon. It Is difficult to fore
cast the fun extent OF the damage inflicted
upon Tulsa the final limit of the disastrous
litigation which would certainly follow
1t appears certain that every foot OF paving
already laid In the city is subject To the objoc-
tion raised in tho at bar and which founda-
tions the courts temporary restraining order.
Which argues that all OF the legal authorities
who have passed on the various aspects OF paw
ing matters in this city since the adoption Of
the charter in 1909 were incompetent.
This is a view OF the matter that one accepts
very grudgingly. because the value OF the paw
ing scrip, issued during all these years depended
altogether the legality OF all proceedings,
and these proceedings had the benefit OF care
full examination by the ablost attorneys In this
state and elsewhere. Therefore 1t Is felt that
ample room exists for Judge Cole to be mis-
taken in the gesture he has made and that on
further and more mature consideration he will
discover his mistake and rectify IT,
OF course until the issue il finally adJudicat-
ed public improvements must cease. II is per-
fecty absurd to think of proceeding under that
Interpretation OF the charter offered by the
plaintiffs in the Irving place case and tempo
rariy sustained by the court. we say this with
out prejudice to their cause OF action For II
that construction OF the charter provision Is at
tempted and public hearing held In advance
OF the completion OF given piece of work all
parties concerned would be proceeding in the
dark. II would be simply case OF accepting
the engineers estimate as flual--u practice
which would inevitably result in far greater dis
satisfaction than the hitherto accepted prac-
tice, and which would open the way 10 excess
profits OF the most indefensible nature
It IS perfectly clear to The world that the
nuh of this entire paving and sewer matter
rests, not on any preliminary estimate such as

action. but the actual measurements ana

cases cited wherein the final measurements and

low the engineers estimates Had such cngl-

and do not realize but that we have
always seen them that way.
But once in while an early i'm
precision which has held throughout
the years is suddenly brought In

When I was little girl we used
to make a visit every summer 10 our
gra andfather, who lived on farm.
When we arrived at the prosperous
county seat we were met by an old
negro driving the hack.
Did you ever ride In a hack? All,
you have missed something OF life!
1t was n sign OF aristocracy in the
country. II was the Rolls Royce OF
the day
Our trunks and baggage were
thrown into a wagon behind, and
we piled into the hack. piled Is
right, for the family was large, in
keeping with the fashion of the
times, and then we started on our
l2-mile ride to the farm, which took
nearly half a day old Ring met us
way down the road barking his
head off in hospitable delight, and
as we turned off the main road, up
the drive of cedars the big white
