C. S. LOWRY'S COMMENT.
Vfhat He Has to Bay About Sun
day's Cave-in.
"That cave in front of my property
on North Main nvenue Sunday
strengthens what T have heretofore
said about the necessity of securing
the mine workings under tho street be
fore a pave is laid." said C. S Lowry
yesterday. Mr. Lowry Is one of the
most active In fighting the proposed
pave until such time ns sewers are
laid and th9 mine workings secured.
"I want a pave on North Main ave
nue and Providence road because I
believe It would be a good thing, but I
don't want it until the preliminary im
provements leading up to it have been
completed. "Wo need a sewer even
worse thnn we do a pave and the board
of health ought to compel Its construc
tion. It can do so If it only takes tho
proper steps. Then the mine workings
which aro close to the surface ought
to be secured or both sewer and pave
will be Irreparably damaged by some
similar cava to that which occurred
Sunday.
"The concrete base would support
the pave over tho cave to the extent
of allowing a horse and wagon or a
