PROPERTY OWNERS MAY BE SUED FOR PAVING BILLS II IN BOOSTER TRIP Certain Housewives in ton Said to Object to Their Husbands Paying a Visit to -urich, in Giles County. Forced to Iwrrow $10,000 to pay the contracloi's for some of the paving that has lieen completed the city council nt the regular meeting Thursday night decided to employ a collector to go out among the property owners on the newly-pave'd streets and collect assessments.

FREEMAN J. KYLE, City Engineer. And now Dame Rumor has It certain wives In Princeton are seriously thinking of putting a crimp on that booster trip of business men to be taken next week through Giles, Monroe, Greenbrier and Summers county, that Is, In so far as their husbands are concerned. And why? The schedule shows that the booster trip Is to leave here and pass by way of Lurloh to Penrlrtburg. Therein lies the big secret, RO it is said.

Lurich is located on Mie map as a small country village lying on the south side of New river' in Giles county, about a mile tho state line. Lurich is a watering place for the engines of the Norfolk and Western, which is all to We gcod, if water alone was to be found there. Lurich Is also In the midst or a fine trucking section oif Giles, which Is likewise to Its credit. Lurch, (however, recently been In the limelight In connection with frequent and sundry violations of the Volstead act, the Mapp act and other ten statutes, belli federal and state. It has quietly and unconsciously gathered to Itself a reputation outside its immediate territory of being any tilling but dry town, Volsteadi- cally speaking.

Hence, there are certain ladies In Princeton who are inclined to the hectic belief this little trip of hubbies over into Giles, Monroe and otihor counties is not that Innocent boosting trip placarded and advertised, that Is, for all of Wie men who go. No, there are certain hubbies who have at home a dark sus- plcian the trip is certain to produce a torpid liyjir and throbbing liead on tho return, all because the route lies by Luricll. And there is the further suspicion a part of the argosy will get tired at Luric'li and not be inclined to go further, possibly proposing to cross the river and go over into Monroe representing the business elements of Princeton, while others Oct the entourage will go ahead with t.lie original program. Hence, these certain wjves have now under consideration the question of whether hubby will be permitted to take part in lite booster trip. If Lurich was Just across Wie mountain over in Bland, it would lie so different.

Or if it was not in the line of march or was down in Florida or Just any other place except just where It is, the first gassing and resting place after crossing the state line, there would bo all the difference in t'he world. And so, if Miofull quota of business men as scheduled so on the trip, the roulc must be changed so as.to cross New. by the ferry at Glen Lyn, leaving Lurich on (lie south side, crossing again why) Narrows Is reached some four miles' cast of the tainted town. That route is safe, provided it. is adhered to.
