Editor Shawnee News:
Dear Sir:—If you will accord me
space I should like to correct the
impression sought to be created by
an article published in the Herald of
this date relative to the proposed
opening of South Harrison avenue.
The author of the Herald article has
studiously misstated the situation for
the purpose of hindering and If pos-
sible defeating this much needed im
provement. I make this assertion
unhesitatingly for the reason that 1
know what I am talking about,
I have carefully canvassed this
matter with Mr. Clayton and have
explained to him that City Engineer
Brown had twice gone over the
ground with me and in his judgment
from an eye survey the street could
be opened for traffic at a cost of ap
proximately $600, and not $1600 as
the Herald says.
$600 was the estimate given by Mr.
Brown to make the streets passible
and more accessible to heavy traffic
than he heavy sandy road on South
Beard street. Of course to grade and
put South Harrison up in good shape
would cost quite a sum, much more
In fact than the estimate given by
the Solomon on the Herald, whose
inspiraion was drawn from the an-
tagonism of certain west end prop-
erty Interests who fear that rental
and sale values on West Main and
South Beard streets might suffer a

slight shrinkage If that large sccpe of
territory lying east and south should
be permitted to enter Shawnee by
its proper channel of ingress and
egress, viz Harrison avenue, which is
a section line and should have been
opened tx> travel years ago, and as a
legal proposition the city could be
mandamused and required to open
this street and section line. Now as
I stated before Engineer Brown told
me that two wooden bridges could be
built and the necessary grading to
permit of travel could be had at a
cost of $600 If all of the work were
hired done. This leads me to sug-
gest that a considerable saving from
this amount might be had if the city
teams and prisoners were used where
they might be used to much better
advantage than cleaning the streets,
whereas it sometimes occurs that it
requires three city teams, three paid
drivers and a herder to utilize oi
work three prisoners.
An objection is continually ad
vanced against this cheap plan for
opening as outlined by Engineer
Brown on the ground that it might
j invite a damage suit from the owners
of certain property abutting the pro-
posed new thoroughfare. This objec
tion Is however without truth or logic
and is offered solely for the purpose
of bolstering the position of Clayton,
Blakley, et al, and the aforementioned
west end interests,

Paris, Aug. 14.—Reports received
from Tangier today state that a des
perate attack was made on Casab
lanca yesterday by Moors. The
tribesmen were mounted and number-
ed between 4,000 and 5,000. Their
bravery was superb as was also that
of the French troops who drove them
back after hard fighting, it was only
the bravery of the troops that saved
the town from invasion. The troops
were aided by a heavy fire from the
warships. The tribesmen charged
repeatedly, dashing up almost to the
French guns. They were repulsed
with heavy loss of life. The French
losses were Inconsiderable. The
tribesmen had carefully planned their
attack. They first charged in regu
larly drawn fighting lines.
