SOUTH END PAVING
again UNDER fire
Sahosky to Ask Council for
Committee Of Inquiry

Investigation OF the South Main
street paving job to determine
whether the state highway depart
ment or the board of public works
is to pay for the portion leading up
10 the Towers gasoline station will
be recommended by Councilman
Samuel Sablotsky at tonights COM
mon council meeting. He will ask
that a committee of five members
be authorized TO conduct the probe.
Sablotsky claims the state high
way department contradicted the
statement made by the board OF
public works that the city is rot
paying for the work. Sablotsky
charges that the board of public
works did the job without author
ization.
Alderman Frank Zapatka acting
for a group of property owners in
the fifth ward will recommend that
a strip of land so feet wide and $50
in length. now owned by Peter
Poplowski. be taken by condemna-
ton proceedings for highway pur-
poses. The land is located in the
swanson estate tract and its seizure
will complete two highways now
ending In pocket streets. Alderman
Zapatka feels, he stated today. the
Improvement which will be made
possible by this work warrants the
seizure.
Councilman Sablotsky will submit
resolutions to have baseball dia-
monds constructed in Willow Brock
park and to have the board Of fl
nance and taxation make provision
for a golf course.

reached a point where a million was

cared nothing for social life and
rarely accepted ivitations to fash

time Mr.. Armour5s fortune was at

the currencies of Europe also
plunged down in value. The result
was that American packers lost ire
