Orr stri ct want their street p:iT ed and have accordingly filed a p? tition with the paving commission a .Kin/ that the street lie paved. The commissioners will discuss the ques tion ut their next meeting. Mayor Codfrey stated yesterday that until more money was available, which will probably be when thc next tax assess monts ore made up. t ) commission wllj be unable to order any more pav ing work. The petition reads as follows: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Anderson county. The undersigned respectfully sub mit the following: First, it is a Self evident proposition that it is the purpose of the commis sion to extend paving on such streets in the city of Anderson us are nuh Jected to thc heaviest tralllc and tha most travel. Scond, we submit that East Orr street is one of the main urterlcs of the city. First, because it afforufl the direct travel to and from tin* eastern part of the city. Second, this is the street that leads to Midway, Bcaverdam. White Plains. Whlteflold, Wlllianreton, Pelrer, and other com munities?- section i which contribute largely to the city*', welfare as evi denced by tho vast amount of travel between these communities and the city of Anderson. In the third place, a large percentage of the cotton, to tho cotton platform and standard warehouse and from these points to the various mills, is hauled on this fJioroughfare. The largest lumber concern in the city is also located on this street and contributes Ita con stant and heavy traffic Finally, this street serves as thc National High wa ylietv.eea northern and southern cities via Anderson, S. C. In conclusion we would inn up the facts that the traffic is heavier on this street than on any other street except Main and the posslblo exception of West 'Market, and that the automobile travel Is equal tp that of any other street In tho city. We therefore insist that thc com mission do give tho petitions .of the real estate owners on this street, due consideration at the proper time. Mrs. S. D. Brownloo. ThoB. F. Hill. II. S. Hill. O. N.
