18TH STREET
PAVING IS BLOCKED

more to the nearly seventeen years
during which the street improve
ment has been planned, but never
undertaken.
The works board today decided
not to act on bids for ten days
which automatically sets them
aside. The board then will be faced
with r~eadvertising for bids for the
fourth time in the last few weeks.
Decision against action was made
by the board after a fight between
asphalt and cement interests. A ce-
ment contractor alleged asphalt in
terests had bought" signatures of
persons who signed petitions for the
street to be paved with the ma
terial.
Widening and paving of the re-
mainder of the street east of Capitol
avenue, already let to contractors,
will be continued.

100, 5000 who have exhausted what
meager savings they had with which
to face the depression, the goal has
been set so per cent higher.
Some ills Of the current eco

ment is not one of them. Unem-
ployment is worse than physical

Unless through private efforts

Unless employment is found for
the jobless," said Smith, unless
relief will come to them, they may
be tempted to do that desperate act
that may be more costly to society
in the long run than would a lib

that can afford it to bring that
