HOPES TO SELL
SHELBY BONDS
ON SOUTH Side
Hack to 'PeddIe' Issue for
Paving Among Interested
Citizens.

Oren S. Hack, works board presi-
dent, today planned to "peddle" the
$4,000 Shelby st. improvement
bonds to south side citizens, who
are urging the paving project.
South side residents have fought
for this improvement for months.
Now the project is at standstill
because we have no bidders for the
bond issue. I have been advised
that south side leaders are anxious
to acquire the bonds, passing them
out on to a family" Hack declared.
1.-THE contract has been let and
the board of works is anxious to go
ahead with the improvement. Traf-
f1c is avoiding the use of Shelby be-
tween Troy and Madison AYES. as
result of the delay.
Bank Fears Suit
The works board and county
commissioners awarded the $4,000
contract to Abel Brothers under the
connecting link law.
A $4,000 bond issue to pay the
citys share of the costs was passed
a month ago by city council, but
no bids were received by City Con-
troller Sterling r. Holt
A trust company had agreed to
buy the bonds, but the law firm Of
Noel, Hickam, Boyd & Armstrong,
attorneys for the bank, declined to
approve the legality Of the issue be-
cause of objections raised by the
Interstate Public Service Company,
it was said. The bank felt it would
be running a chance" of a lawsuit
to test the case if they purchased
the bonds.
William P. Evans, traction COM
pany attorney, raised the question
of the improvement under the con-
Meeting link law, citing the Supreme
Court decision on Baltimore Ave.
The question was whether the i'm
provement could be ordered under
the connecting link statute which
provides the county and city join
in the paving.
Tratcion Company Opposed
TIL traction company fought the
improvement because of the heavy
expense entailed in laying new
track. The contract provided that
the traction company lay new track
and a concrete base, the city and
county laying the three-inch con-
crete top between the track.
Assistant City Attorney Smiley N.
Chambers, Corporation Council
John w. Hoffman and Frank Noll,
Abel Brothers attorney, recently
conferred with Evans in an effort to
smooth out" the objections.
Evans said the traction company
is not opposed to the improvement |
but does not desire to lay new
tracks.
South side business 7 \ and civic
organizations have fought for the
improvement for two years, finally
settling on the present plan.

arms and get the rhythm of swim
ming.
Make the body move with the
arms, keeping the feet still. A
windmills movement is a good
thing to have in mind Throw the
left arm out, turning the head TO
one side and breathing as you do
it. Then as it goes down and back,
revolve the other arm in the same
way.
Keep them alternating until your
whole body feels the swing of the
music. This is an excellent exer-
else for circulation, for litheness.
But more than that, it is invaluable
for giving you the easy motion that
is the essence Of good swimming.
For swimming has behind it the
same theory as the dance. 1t should
be an outlet for the music in one.
And unless it is rhythmic, it can
not be perfect swimming.

Coast in Answering
G. O. P. Challenge.
BY RAY TUCKER

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-With
Republican leaders of the Far West
emphasizing Tammany Hall as a
leading campaign issue, Mayor
Walker of New York is taking the
offensive against that organizations
critics during his visit to California
New York's mayor -at-large, has
been reticent in discussing Governor
Smith because the latter has not
been notified officially of his nominal
ton, but the travelling ambassador
has euIogized not only Tammany,
but the man most often associated
with the wigwam, the late Charles
F. Murphy, former Democratic die
tator of the metropolis.
1T was Mr. Murphy" Walker told
a group at the Bohemian Club, who
inaugurated the era of reform that
produced such outstanding men as
Governor Smith, Senator Wagner
and James A. Foley. 1t was Mr..
Murphy who gave the impetus that
led to the new Tammany.
If it had not been for his vision
and progressive ideas Governor
Smith might never have had the
opportunity to make New York one
Of the most forward looking States
in the Union"
1t was a bod piece of strategy,
for out here the "defamers of Tam
many" link Murphy's name with
those Of Tweed and Croker and the
assault on Smith will picture him
as their direct descendant.
The crowd who listened to the
New Yorker cheered him loud and
long, possibly due to the fact they
