CITY PLANS SECTION .
OF STREET PAVING
Authorize Purchase of Car of Oil, for
" Streets. " , ..;
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
had a very busy meeting last Tues
day night. The most important per
haps of all the propositioria discussed
was street improvements. First of
all Mr. Walker Kerr offered a motion
to buy a car of oil for the streets.
The trouble of having a scarifier
out of pocket was suggested. The
machine belonging to Union City is
now at Tiptonville, headed oft by
high waters. Before oiling some cf
streets need to be resurfaced, but the
motion finally prevailed to order the
oil and the street committee was so
instructed.
Mr. Hopper, chairman of the street
committee, suggested that the city
should take somo steps towards gen
eral street construction and he pro
posed that bonds be issued covering
the city's floating debt, the balance
to be used in street work.
Finally Mr. Tittsworth got a mo
tion before the house to issue bonds
for permanent street improvements,
$50,000 altogether in serial bonds,
maturing in thirty years, proceeds of
which to be used exclusively in per
manent street construction in Union
City, on the property-abutment plan,
cost divided by three, each citizen
residing on the street to be improved
to pay one-third of cost of same.
After some discussion Mr. White
made a motion In lieu that the mo
tion to issue street bonds be carried
over for two weeks, resulting in a tie
vote, Mayor Woosley using his pre
rogative in deferring the question
until the next meeting. . ! '
Mr. Tittsworth proposed that the
city take advantage of the surveys
already made and first, finding the
approximate cost lay out certain sec
tions to be improved and, then have
the improvements done under the
supervision of the local street de
partment, thus probably saving a
considerable amount of money that
would otherwise be paid to outsiders
for a contract. He seems to have
an idea of conserving our resources
with all the economy possible, and
this is very creditable indeed,.
A representative of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal was present,
with petition for an appropriation
for advertising in a trade edition of
that paper This was for $100 to be
applied onr a page for Union City and
Obion County. The board cross-fired
for awhile and then decided that it
had no authority to invest funds
from the city treasury in advertising,
a very wise conclusion.
An ordinance was passed providing
that street vehicles take to the curb
when the fire whistle sounds and
that vehicles also keep out of the
way of the fire truck, specifying
limit for front and rear clearance.
W. D.. Williams was employed as
park caretaker for the present year.
Mr. Tittsworth reported, that the
floating debt of $28,000 had been re
duced to $9,500 with' a 'balance in
bank of $9,600.
The Mayor made a statement to
the effect that the action of the board
on the 12th Inst., allowing him $50
per month for extra services f dr. Feb
ruary and March and one half of
January was appreciated, but that it
was his desire that such action be re
scinded. . Discussion ensued, the
members favorable to the extra, pay
stating that they felt within their
rights in such action. Probably, says
one the motion should have been
for extraordinary services instead of
ex-officio services. Finally Mr. Titts
worth taking the chair, the motion
to rescind prevailed.
