be warranted in ordering side walks
laid on the streets leading east and
west from Main street-say Lincoln,
Washington, Kansas, First and Second
avenues, at least one block each way
from Main street. The cost to proper
ty owners would not be great, and the
increased value such improvements
would put on their property, would
more than pay them. Everyone will
admit that the sidewalks on Main
street have enhanced the value of real
estate on that street at least ten per
