zsss along the line Of the work subscribed

Will have to receive another msjority.vose,
The discussion on the question was LONG
and wear'some, especially on the PROPOSE.
ron to pave the east side OF the street. Il
was surprising the favor with which il Was
received. The members appeared to lose
slghtot the fact that in case tha. Was or.
oered the street could not be properly
graded, and that the street car company
you'd not be compelled to pave at ali. Dr.
Jepson fought vigorously against it: he
produced figures showing the condition OF
the streets and alleys in the Frs. ward
aud made the assertion that with the or.
ception Of alleys Cand B, there ye,e not
800 yards OF street or alley in the ward

voted as they did.
