Dean, Mitchell and Lowry favored the resolution and Mayor Mc­ Lean voted in the affirmative on the tie vote. < ' Member Ross lead the opposition and in an impassioned speech de­ clared that/he would never vote for the change until,the school board had made good its promise.

Just how the matter will terminate is a question as the three members are not inclined to vote for a change until the school board improves the street. It-will take a two-thirds vote before council can pass the ordinance. Solicitor Smith informed council that Judge Harian under the law could va­ cate an- alley but had no authority to' establish one. The same petition call­ ing for both made such an act illegal and any taxpayer could object but the Judge thought it best for the school board to make an effort at compromise with the village and par­ ties interested in the suit..

The weather,’conditions this past winter has made More road improve­ ment necessary than usual. • This means th a t traveler* will no t get to- use the customary roads Most of the summer, The Jamestown and Xenia pike will be rebuilt and work Btarted m a few weeks thus cutting off travel that way to Xenia, Then East Main street in that city will be paved.. The only road from th is section to Xehia will be the Columbus pike. Hie Ggdarville township trustees have worked this road to; East Point school house until it is in very fair condi­ tion considering what it. was during the winter. From the school house to Wilberforce the road is almost im­ passible even a t this time due to the great holes. For some reason the Xenia township trustees have not loked after that section of the road for two( years now. The county com­ missioners or county surveyor should see tha t some improvement is made before the other roads are closed for the summer. The Cedarville - township trustees have arranged for gravel macadam on the Yellow Springs road and this work will be started as soon as teams are availably. East Liverpool voted wet by 474.
