The principal topic discuss-
ed at the chamber of com-
merce meeting Monday night
was the proposed paving pro-
gram for Timpson. Mayor
Hairston and other members of
the eouneil were in attendance,
land stated that they had dis-
cussed a proposition whereby
the business section of the city
could be paved and later the
paving could be extended to
the residential section as the
property owners desired the
improvement. Mayor Hairs-
ton stated that the improve-
ments could.be made without
additional taxes through
the plan of the city
paying one-third of the cost
and the property owner pay-
ing two-thirds. After much
discussion it was decided to
call another meeting at a*
early date *t which time the
city council will have com-
plete data and nccurate figures
as to the cost of the work,
blocks tp be paved, etc. The
matter was presented last
night in order to get the
movement before the proper
ty owners, and it was pointed
out that the greatest improve-
ment made in other towns,
was always referred to as
their paved streets.
Different committees made
good reports showing that
they are active with their
duties.

meeting. Shelby county

100 members at $10.00 each,
and the county has been ask
ed to raise this
