 Some three weeks since the residents ot Welton street received printed notifca tions informing them that either stone or concrete walk with the required grade and curb must be under preparation by September 1.

A few have spoken to us and would like to call a meeting of all the property owners on the street and let the contract for the curb and walk to one party.

The walk must be laid within the prescribed time or the road commis- sioners will see that the work is done and in either case the holders of property on the streets must foot the bills.
