HOW ABOUT
THOSE SIDEWALKS?

II the average citizen of Beverly
were to be asked the Stats of the
new sidewalk situation in the town,
it is doubtful if he could supply a
very accurate answer. No one seems
to know just where we stand. A few
weeks ago the matter seemed to come
to climax during the dissention
over the selection of an engineers
bids for engineering services were
asked for and received but just when
the sidewalk majority got to the
point of running the steam roller
over Mr.. Anderson, a sudden halt
was made. The obstacle seemed to
be in form of an old ordinance which
required the sidewalk work to GO
through the street committee and APP
pointed surveyor.
No action has been taken toward
changing this condition nor has any
move been made to go ahead with
the sidewalk work through the spec
flied channels.
So, lacking any information from
those five Councilmen who control
the situation. either by word or ac-
ton, the public has been compelled
to resort to guessing.
Perhaps the most popular guess is
that the coming election is beginning
to receive more attention than here
tofore. Three of the five sidewalk
men of Council are up for reelection.
The public does not look forward to
the expenditure of a quarter of a
million for sidewalks and curbs with
especial enthusiasm. The improve
ment is recognized as necessary but
is nevertheless far from being popu-
lar. So those who are leading off no
doubt feel that this sentiment might
be reflected in the ballot box and SO
the sidewalks proceed on vacation
as it were.
Others think a motive for the de-
lays can be seen in the fact that the
present street committee consists en-
tirely-, of members who are in the
minority on the sidewalk question
and who cannot expect to have the
work placed in their hands.
Still others point to combination
of both the above reasons and believe
that the present sidewalk majority
must reflect its three members whose
terms expire this year in order to
continue in control and enable them
to appoint new street committee
favorable to the sidewalk leaders.
This is all guess and the public
can wait for the information. There
is at least one interesting result from
the recent sidewalk battle in City
Hall-the public, as whole has be-
gun to display greater interest in the
activities of our governing body and
it is certainty, that hereafter, the
motives and activities of all who are
leading off, either for sidewalks or
ON other things of popular interest,
will come under most rigid and mi
croscopic inspection.

And now she had talked John
into letting her buy the big doll
that had been In HarweIl's wir@ow

John had tried to tell her that the

twenty dollars was big sum to spend

Her glance travelled to her dress.

face began to burn as she thought Of

Georgetown Hopes for Game
IT Holy Cross Eleven
Is Dropped
By r. D. THOMAS

With the rumor rampant that
Harvard University plans to drop
Holy Cross from its football
schedule next year, Georgetown is
making a hopeful effort to land a
game with the Crimson member Of
the Big Three.
1t was learned today that the
Blue and Gray had applied for the
game and was watching with keen
interest the development of affairs
at Cambridge.
New England alumni have for
warded the encouraging information
that in the event Holy Cross Is
dropped, another Catholic institu-
ton likely would be booked in it's
place.
Georgetown is said to be willing
to make any possible concession to
gain a date with Harvard. The
Blue and Gray is fighting desperate
ly against stiff competition to ar
range q schedule for next year that
would give 1t an opportunity to
win noticeable place In the foot
ball sun.
Harvard, on the other hand, is
hoping to tighten its task. It was
with this purpose in mind, 1t is
said, that the Crimson planned to
defeat Holy Cross this year and
make it easy to get away from q
troublesome enemy.
But Holy Cross downed the Grim.

may have saved valuable game
