and gained the most rushing
yards for that period.

Presented Council
-At a meeting of the City
Council Tuesday night L. R
Boyd and a group of citizens
tesiding adjacent to Fourth Ave-
nue. appeared with reference:,to
a project including the con:
struction of curbs and gutters
on both sides of that street
trom Walnut Street tothe north
City Limits. ———
The State Highway- Commis-
sion is considering the building
of a four lane by-pass from
some j>oint north of the city to
connect with Highway 81
northeast of town. If this pro
jeet is worked put, and the resi-
dents adjacent to Fourth Ave-
nue will build the necessary
curbs and gutters, then the
Highway Commission proposes
to build and pave- a 40 foot
street from Walnut .Street to the
city limits without expense to
the city, except that the city
will have to provide the drain-
age structures:
Mr. Boyd and his group pre-
sented a petition from residents
owning two-thirds of the foot-
age within the area designated,
with promises that they would
pay their pro-rata share of the
cost of tije curb and gutter, and
some of the other residents have
given verbal promises, of their
cooperation. In case, this pro-
ject is worked out, the city will
have to curb and gutter the
block on which the hospital is
built, as well as across the al-
leys.
The City Council authorized
the City Secretary to contact
Engineers of the Highway Com
-mission to secure cost data and
other Information. In connection
with the matter, and report to
the next meeting of the Coun-
cil. - , --
Among other matters, the
Council set November 22, the
next regular meeting night for
a hearing on prevention of the
smoke nuisance created by the
disposal of cotton burrs within
the city limits. Representatives
of Swift and Co , haef^been ask-
ed to appear, and any citizens
who wish to be heard on the
matter are asked to appear al-
so.
