A resolution introduced by Com- missioner Battey and adopted by a vote of 4 to 1—Commissioner Best dissenting—is expressive of the fact that the city is going ahead with its paving and that the tracks of the rail- way between Main and Thayer streets will -be torn up because the state has not the funds to provide for its share of the paving. Battey’s Ultimatum. Commissioner atte: ultimatum authcrizes the city auditor “to notify the state board of control of the state of North Dakota that the pav- ing contractor is ready to proceed with paving on Main and on Fourth from Main to Thayer and the state is requested to co-operate with the pav- ing contractor in accordance with the franchise concerning the street railway so that the paving may not be delayed.” Commissioner Lest bitterly oppos- ed the adoption of the resolution, claiming that it demanded that the state teary up the tr “I don't believe in 8. sking the state to discontinue the service until it wants to,” said the opposing mem- ber. “Why doesn't the state abide by the franchise, then?” asked Battey. Mayor Lucas and Commissioner Flattey tried to explain a conference in the office of the members of the board of control, but Best would not yield. Best Offers Substitute. ‘Best offered_a reslution which the city auditor could not understand, with the result that both left the chambers for the auditor's office and the resolution was typewritten. The substitute resolution follows: “In lieu of the resolution offered by Commissioner Battey, I propose that Fourth street be paved 18 feet on each side from the curb toward the centre ‘and that Main street be paved between Fourth and Fifth streets 20.fe#t from the curb and to- ward the ‘cehitre of street on either side, in. aceordance with the con- tracts let in Paving District ‘No. 2.” The Best resolution would provide for a-curbing up to the tracks, It DON'T FUSS WITH - MUSTARD PLASTERS! orks Easier, Quicker fithout the Blister There’s ‘no ‘sense in mixing a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, white Musterole. Musterole is made of pure oil of mus- tard and other helpful ingredients, com- bined in the form of a pleasant white ointment. It takes the place of out-of- date mustard plasters, and will not blister. Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, head- ache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it often prevents pneumonia).
