MORE PAVING 1EouBLE.
There promises 10 be Il lively legal tilt
over the payment OF some OF the ASSESS
ments for the Colorado street paving
work, which has just been completed
and apparently giyen Subtraction to
meet OF the property owners.
Mr.. James Smith, however, is OF tho
opinion that the work has not been done
according to specifications. and will con-
test payment ior the section in front OF
his property, which is one OF the largest
on tho street. faN l
At last weeks meeting OF the council
Mr.. Smith gave notice that he did not
wish bonds iseued on his property and
there is nothing left for the paving peo-
pie to do but commence proceedings to
collect their money. 1t ia not known
whether or not any more of the property
owners will raise q kick, but Ii Nr,
Smith comes out ahead the whole collec-
tion would be invalid.
A large share of the owners have al
ready paid, however, and would have
no recourse, but how it would affect the
issue OF bonds covering the payments is
matter OF conjecture. The outcome of
thematter will be looked for with much
interest.
