 Protest Cutting Streets s-Resolu- tions protesting against cutting newly made permanent streets will be passed by the Kiwanis club of Ensley at its meeting Thursday, if James Dupuy and others can persuade the club to take such action. He said Monday that the practice of digging into the hard surface road soon after they are paved was wrong. Mir. Dupuy said that he protested against the practice tc the city engineers office Monday and he intended to follow the complaint with resolutions before the Kiwanis club Thursday. The statement from Mir. Dupuy, which was published Sun day, regarding the trenches being dug into the new Eighth avenue road for various utility lines, was discussed widely in Ensley Monday. Over 100 men who spoke to Mir. Dupuy about the practice said that it was utterly wrong and should not be permitted.
