REVENUE BOARD
 MAY RECONSIDER RECENT ACTION . :
Majority Of Members Be. lieved Ready To Pave
 All First Avenue 1,

Members of the board of revenue are begipning to weaken in their attitude towards the First avenue improvement program, city officials declared Thurs day. s
 { Prospects were bright, they said, that at least two of the board members who flatly refused to pave more than 15 feet on each side of the car tracks. al. though they previously had agreed to pave the entire width of the avenue, wonld shortly issue statements saying they are ready to reconsider their ac- ten. ~
 City Commission President D. E. Mo Lendon's statement Wednesday, assert ing that a majority of the members of the incoming revenue board would pave the entire width of the thoroughfare, appeared to be having it's effect on pres ent board members. East Lake citizens Are active and have brought much pres sure to bear. Before the indignation meeting in East Lake next Tuesday night, President McLenden and other officials look for the board to recant. i S. R. Batson, who has been elected a member of the incoming board, Thurs day corroborated McLendon's statement that the new board would "carry out the complete agreement" and pave the avenue it's entire width. While he spoke only for himself, he said he knew the attitude of a majority of his col leagues.
 Lacey Edmondson is the only mem- bes of the present board who will stay in office next year--and he is 6ne of the members whom officials predict will shortly vote to reconsider the action recently taken.
