GRAVEL CONCERN CHARGED WITH BRIDGE DELAY

Levi C. Peacock, former county surveyor and now president of the Richmond Gravel company, told the South Side Improvement association last night that his company is ready to dismiss the Evans appeal, as far as he Is Informed. "The Richmond Gravel company is not holding a club over any one in order to obtain concessions. The situation as it exists now is purely a matter of getting the city attorney and our attorney together on an agreement," he said. Wilfred Jessup Is attorney for the Gravel company. Demands Dismissal of Appeal. Peacock made this statement after the Improvement association officers had presented an ultimatum that the appeal be dropped at once if the improvers would withdraw their offer of a lot to satisfy the claim. Evans was awarded $200 damages by the board of works for building of a roadway through his 13-acre tract in

the bottoms. He filed an appeal. To

satisfy his claim and expedite the South O street bridge construction the

Improvement association offered Evans a lot. The roadway Is necess

ary for building of the bridge. This offer was conditional upon withdrawal of the suit,' which will serve to hold up the bridge building. Evans sold his property to the Richmond Gravel company and the purchaster gave evidence of Intent to continue the appeal. Improvement Body Withdraws. The Improvement association will

withdraw its offer, which was con

tinued to the Gravel company, unless the suit is dropped by April 15. President Bavls of the Board of Works replied to alleged charges of Attorney Jessup that the city administration had blocked progress in the compromise. A statement was made that the Gravel company would not dismiss the suit until It was assured that the bridge contractors would purchase gravel from Us tract In the river bottoms. This was denied by Peacock. - The company was accused of "playing a game" to enforce purchase of its gravel. METAL WORKERS GET INCREASE IN WAGES

Even when one is quite normal FHvers look a good deal alike, and Bill was not normal, to say the least Bill hopped into his borrowed car, threw It into high and started out to break the world's speed record for Flivers. .Bill's mad career was checked by the sturdy gates which guard the North Eighth street crossing of the Pennsylvania. These gates tore off a good part of the top of the car but they stopped it and Bill and his borrowed Fliver were firmly wedged under the gates when the police machine arrived. In police court today Pipher received a fine of $50 and costs and was or

dered to pay the owner of the machine he had wrecked $66, an amount necessary to meet the cost of repairing the machine. About a year ago Pipher ran amuck on : Richmond avenue in his trick Fliver.
