! The Mayor was authorized ii
execute note for $1,000 to the
State Bank and Trust Company
in anticipation of the next ta1

Messrs. NJ. c, Kellogg and W.
I ". Broaddus offered assistance
of teams and men to help put
Orchard street in better shape.
J The former stated that perhaps
30 per cent of the commercial
hauling Of the city is done over
this street. which leads directly
to the freight depot. He feared
someone was going to drown
some day in a duckpond which
is near the corner of Orchard
and Main. 1t developed that a !
car of rock, which was consign- !
ed to the Carey-Reed Co., road
contractors, is available. It'll
seems that the rock arrived tool
late and could not be taken overf
a bridge. The car was shipped
here by Boggs, Burnam & Co !
from Yellow Rock. Sam P. Bur
nam said his firm holds the Ca
Co. for the rock and the
price to them was higher than
the city could buy it. Mr.. Kel-I
ogg said that he would guaran-
tee that the difference was paid
if the city could get the rock and
would have it put on Orchard
street and he and Mr.. Broaddus
promised utmost cooperation.

ing would not only not injurc,
inyone's property or cause dam ,

tend to beautify the premises to {
some extent. Those whose names |
were signed to the protest were
Ben Barnett, A. 7. Lackey, w.
J. Clark, c. B. Taylor, w. P. Adj !
ans and Miss Bessie Dudley. i,

ordinance at adjourned meeting,
md then passed the tax levy or
finance after Hon. w. B. Smith
