Mail Tribune 100, Nov. 27, 1915 The following news item was drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Nov. 27, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Nov. 27, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Nov. 27, 1915 WANT CITY PAY THIRD OF ASHLAND'S PAYING DEBT Over 200 citizens have petitioned the council to have the municipality assume one-third of the paving expense by the general tax. They are also asking that a proposition to this effect be submitted at the forthcoming city election in December. Property owners assumed $225,000 of the paving expense and the city almost $50,000 for intersections. If the city assumes one-third of the property owners' assessments in addition to the intersections, it will be taking over one-half of the total expense, some of which the council deems excessive. Bancroft obligations outstanding on paving accounts amount to $290,000, less about $10,000 cash on hand. Some of the council think the problem might possibly be handled without a bond issue and urged thorough consideration of the matter in all its bases before being committed to a definite line of policy. The council has referred the question to city attorney Moore for an opinion and in the meantime, Messrs. Ware, Cunningham and Werth of the council are consulting with Messrs. Lamakin, Banta and McCallister, a citizens committee which presented the original resolution in behalf of property owners who consider themselves unduly burdened by reason of the heavy assessments. ETHEL BARRYMORE COMING TO THE PAGE The brilliant dramatic actress and stage star, Ethel Barrymore, will be seen in the screen production "The Final Judgment," a gripping and engrossing story of the love of three men for the same woman, in which the versatile dramatist George Scarborough has treated the theme with unusual cleverness. By a reversal of the usual procedure presentation of the screen version precedes that of the stage production, which inaugurates a new order of things in stage and screen arrangements. Never before has a play by a recognized dramatist been seen in pictures before it was given to the speaking stage.
