The petitioners for the improvement arid the remonstrators lilwl into the city's .!kial chamber, led by a boy carrying a hutfe cartoon displayintr a rather authentic facsimile of the present condition of the street, according to .some of those present.

According to Adam Hunsberner. a prominent resident of the street who has been very active with the petition, not o:.e resident property owner livinp east of Sample st. objected to the improvement and two of the parties who had signed the remonstrance had later signed the petition which was presented at the meeting. This petition, which was circulated to demonstrate the wishes nf the property owners, contained It naim-s. exactly 20 more than the one presented la5t year when the improvement was first asked for.

said that the rad plants of the country are not running on full time and no advances were being considered in rails in the hope of Increasing this item of steel sales. It was the belief of many that the steel market situation was merely an excuse of the street car officials to delay the laying of the pavement, as one man stated that last year the company had threatened to take up their tracks if the improvement was made.
