MILAN AVENUE CURB ■
QUESTION SETTLED
THIRTY PROPERTY OWNERS SIQN
FOR STONE CURBING WHEN
PETITIONED.
There were six happy councllmen,
one happy mayor and one happy clerk
Monday night when the council adjourned with the satisfaction that
everything of Importance concerning
the paving of Milan avenue had been
settled. The meeting was called to
settle the curb question on Milan avenue, which had confronted them for
several weeks.
At a previous meeting, the council
made the suggestion to the representatives of the stone companies that
they circulate a petition on Milan avenue, asking for stone curbing, and in
that way they could make their decision according to the wish of the people. The petition was handed in and
read by the clerk. Thirty property
owners on Milan avenue signed for
stone curbing and as a result the
council will make arrangements with
the Ohio Engineerlng*companv.>-"

As  AmherBt  Is  the  sana    9°*
ter of the  world, any othe    .rtJeof
curbing would have been unadvisable,
according to statements made by several members of the council.
The curbing will be 4 In. by 18 in.,
which is practically the same as that
laid on several of the other streets In
town. Several residents objected to a
four-Inch curb and asked for a five-
inch curb. This could not be granted,
however, as the council's funds would
be Insufficient to pay for a larger size
curbing.

matter of hiring an Inspector
for the work was a duty left to the
engineers by the council. As the engineers take all the responsibility for
the work done on the paving, the
council deemed It wise to place the
matter In their hands.
To make the matter satisfactory to
both the engineers and the council, a
lengthy discussion was held concerning who was to be appointed for the
Job.
The engineers Interviewed each of
the three applicants and found that all
three were qualified for the job, excepting that Mr. Bruce had had several more years of experience. Based

good man for the job.

ASSESSIN6 ORDINANCE
PASSED BY COUNCIL
ROAD     IMPROVEMENT,     SEWAGE
AND PAVING EXTENSIVELY     DISCUSSED
The assessing ordinance for the paving of Milan avenue, based upon the
$30,000 property bond issue, wss
passed by the council Monday night
The total number of linear feet to bs
paved is 6,78371, and the average
cost per foot is 14 33391. The ordinance provides for a cash payment
within thirty days after the passing of
the assessing ordinance or by the
eighteen semi-annual installment plan.
Including Interest at six per cent
At a previous meeting of the council, the engineers were requested to
make an estimate as to the coat of
Improving Klyria avenue. They set
the price at approximately $5,300, providing a tar-bound macadam road be
put In. The council feel that the road
needs Improvement, but nothing Is
certain, whether or not they have sufficient funds to back the project. They
did not drop the matter but will leave
it  for  further discussion.
K B. Aldrlch, of Milan avenue, was
present at the meeting in regard to
putting in sewer connections for the
two lots, east of his present residence.
One of these lots Is below the road
level and he asked if It would be possible for him to get dirt to fill in this
lot from the paving. The council
granted hlm this privilege. Mr. Aldrlch stated that although he would
fill In the east lot It would still be too
low to obtain proper drainage from tbe
lot into the sewer us the sewer pipes
ut that point In the road are only three
feet below the surface of the road. The
council and Mr. Aldrlch agreed to
let the engineers lay out the best possible manner iu which to put ln the
sewer connections, without further
discussion.

Why Not a "Kiwanis" Club?
Why Is Amherst unable to boast of   and they have backed many beneficial   business  men'* association?
R. R. Johnson of Rocky River spent
the weekend in Amherst with friends.
a Kiwanis club? For the tin-pie rea- movements and Elyrla Klwanlant
son that one has not as yet been j know only the benefits derived from
formed! And why should It be that! the Kiwanis slogan, "We Build." Lorain hat a club and Berea has a elub,
and in fact, there Is a club everywhere.
Now, why it it impossible for Amhertt
to have a club?
The trouble lies in the fact that
"could-be Klwanlant" only THINK
that it la impossible when in reality It
Is just aa pottible for Amhertt at It
It in any other town or city.
Tha Amhertt Butlnett Men't association hat a membership of approximately tlxty (90) members, and why
could they not become "sixty Kiwani-
ans" instead of sixty members of ths
Amhertt it without ons?
Perhaps a satisfactory answer to
the above question Is that Amherat is
not fully acquainted with Kiwanis and
the duty of Klwanlant.
At the present time there sre Kiwanis clubs sll ovsr the country, In
practically every town snd every city.
Even our neighbors bosst of the best
olubs In ths atate and yet Amherst
hss not grsspsd ths (dss from them
snd ss s result have not benefited by
the work of Kiwanis.
For example, Elyrla hss s live club
An Amhertt Kiwanit club could
function the aame at the bualneaa
men't attoclation, with the addition of
a little more enjoyment and being
able to get back of bigger things with
the aid of othtr Kiwania clubs who
are always ready to extend a helping
hand.
Just think of the many thlnga that
an Amherat club could do that would
make others "tit up and take notice."
The project needa but somebody to
start It, and who it he going to be?
Let us have hope that HE shows up
pretty soon and starts the ball rolling
for a big Kiwanis club and a bunch of
live-wire  Kiwanians.

LOOK WHAT IS COMING!
Amhertt is to have something wonderful; yet, even better than that —
magnificent!
That it, we think to, but don't know
for ture.
Vou see, it it thit way. The other
night the mayor waa telling a certain
man about torn* kind of a aign which
will be uput under the flag which ia located between two potts at the corner of Milan avenue and Main atreet.
As he was telling thia man, aeveral
other men came up and listened attentively, and when the mayor had
finished everybody let out a big
"Hooray"  or  something   like  that.
That "hooray" started something,
and, come to find out, the Business
Men't atsociation have ordered o big
electric sign which it to be hare by
the latter part of next week, or that
it, we hope to.
Thit new tign it going to be 12 feet
long and 7 feet wide (pretty big for a
little townl), but the word "Amhsrst"
will be written across tht front of it,
In 75 electric lights, which accounts
for the nectttity of tuch a large aign.
Oh, yetl and right under the word
"Amhertt" will be tix other word*—
"The Sandstone Center of the World."
We bet that everybody, when they
come to Amhertt, will take notice ef
that aign, that is, if it gets here alright.
Left hope ao.
