White River had reached a stand
Wednesday morning at £0.9 feet. A
heavy rain at this time would bring a
very disastrous overflow, as the Mis
sissippi is also very high, which would
tend to impede the waters of this
river.
MOVEMENT STARTED TO
PAVE FRONT STREET.
A movement was started Tuesday
afternoon by a number of property
owners on Front Street for the paving
of that thoroughfare. The awful con
dition of our streets has been a con
stant reminder and goad for several
months, urging upon the people the
necessity of some action. Strong
teams with light hauls, miring upon
the principal street of ourbusiness
city has been a daily occurrence for
weeks. Never probably in the history
of the town has the mud been deeper
nor the streets worse, owing to the
frequency of the rains. But even
though these continue, the clouds
StJtsui lu ut? auuvo an<u a
more propitious heaven smiles upon
the future of Newport, if the citizens
will foster by open advocacy and ac
tive encouragement the proposed
movement.
All deplore the conditions that exisl
' and recognize the need of paving
With this opinion in the matter, i
1 number of property owners on From
' Street, consisting of N. B. Wishon
B. B. Bond, Ike Goldman, G. W. Hur
ley, A. D. Bailey, W. R. Thompson
J. M. Jones, J. M. Stayton and L
, Minor, representing J. D. Goldman
. held a meeting Tuesday afternoon a
the oflice of Ike Goldman to conside;
informally some action toward th<
paving of Front Street from Beech t<
I Main, or four blocks.
The estimated cost of macadomizinj
that section of Front Street has beei
roughly made at $12,000, and the as
' sembled property owners were unan
s imously agreed that the paving shouli
} be done, each property owner to stam
the cost of the work in front of hi
? property. The strip of land used fo
? park purposes, lying north of Fron
f Street, owned by the' Iron Mountai
1 Railroad Company under the law an
• the manner in which it was deedec
t cannot be assessed for half the cost c
thiB work, but that company will b
f petitioned to contribute toward th
work in the way of free transportatio
for rock to be need for paving pur
poses. -pn^
Those present jweqre agrefed in that
an ordinance should be presented to
the council, making the property
described an improvement district,
and this matter will probably come up
before the next meeting and acted
upon as speedily as the law will allow.
The county judge has furthermore
promised to declare Second Street
from Beech to Main, Main from Sec
ond to Front and Front from Main to
! the White River ferry a public high
way, thus allowing for further pav
! ing. Mud’s name is to be “mud” in
the Newport of the future.

patch sent to Mr. Berg after the ordi
nance had passed. It said in part:
“I wish you would say to the mayoi
and others who have opposed us fron
principles they believe to be righl
that, as the matter is now settled, w<
