ORDINANCE TO PAVE
RECTOR ST. DOWNED.
Continued from Unit page,
Mr. Soamau that Mr. Garretson could
not get the majority of the property
owners of the block in question to
sign that he was willing to forfeit the
$25 if ho did. Mr. Seaman declared
‘hat tho Warren company tmd nothing
to do with the transaction.
Lawyer John W. Bookman, who said
he represented Patrick White & Sons;
rrened against the ordinance as it
stood on the ground that it barred
•n upetition. He declared that also
long as the city at large was to pay
mo-third tho cost of tho pavement,
that aldermen had a right to amend
the ordinance regnrdless of what tho
property owners along tho thorough
fare petitioned for.
Alderman-at-Large Eckert stated
that the city attorney had presented a
written opinion in which the ordi
nance in question must cither be pass
ed as it is or rejected. It could not
bo amended.
Walter Thompsou, Alfred H. Crow
11 and Patrick Oonvcry all epoke inj
favor of the pavement. A representa
tive of the Warren Company made a;
few remarks ill which he said his
company did not wish to cram their
pavoment down tho thronts of the
people here. Mr. Ecaort pointed ont
that if the price asked by tho Warren
company was considered too high by
the aldermen they cocld reject the.
bids.
After the vote was taken it was de
clared by some that tho defeat of the |
nrdinanoe ended all pavement on
Rector street.

loose, forming a docp rulHo nt the
elbow. The skirt is circular, with
tho exception of the front width and
deep yoke, which aro cut in one piece.

SORE LUNGS 1
When your lungs are sore and inflamed from coughing,
Is the time when the germs of PNEUMONIA, PLEURISY
and CONSUMPTION find lodgment and multiply.
FOLEY'S I
HONEY AND TAR
stops the cough, heals and strengthens the lungs. It con
tains no harsh expectorants that strain and irritate the
lungs, or opiates that cause constipation, a condition that
retards recovery from a cold. FOLEY’S HONEY AND
TAR is a safe and never failing remedy for all throat and
lung troubles.
The Doctors Said He Had Consumption-A Marvelous Cure.
L. M. Ruggles, Reasoner, Iowa, writes: “The doctors said I had con
sumption and 1 got no better until I used FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR.
It helped me right from the start and stopped the spitting of blood and the
pain in my lungs and today I am sound and well.
