The City Trustees Decide to Have
Good Payments
viii Use Asphaltum Over a Crushed Rock
Foundation-Functons and Events
In Society


trustees met last night to hear the report
of the committee of investigation that was
appointed to decide as to the kind of
pavement to be used A large number of
property owners were present to hear
what the report would be. W. II. Spur
geon handed his report to the clerk,
signed by W. II. Sturgeon, c. E. French,
John McFadden and George W. Minter.
The report was read by the clerk, which
was to the effect that the committee had
concluded that asphaltum pavement was
the best, and recommended a good rock
foundation with an asphalt top, and II
the property owners did not think they
could stand the expense all at once they
could put down the rock foundation and
at some future time they could put on the
asphaltum The report was placed on lille.
A petition was then read, signed by II.
Neill, s. Hill & Son, W. s. Bartlett w. b.
Hervey and T. Billings, all property own
ers on Fourth street. between Bush street
and Sturgeon street, asking the board to
order Fourth street paved between Bush
and Spurgeon streets, with porphyry rock
macadam. The petition was granted and
committee of three property owners
were ordered to report to the board at the
next meeting the specifications for said
pavement. This was an unexpected
change in the decision of the property
owners in regard to material, as quite a
number were in favor of red gravel and
cement clay. This is the starter that will
be the cause of having the whole of Fourth
street paved from Rose street to the
Santa Fe railroad, before the good work
stops and perhaps few blocks on Main
street, each side OF Fourth.
1t will take six weeks or two months to
get the legal part of the work done in
order to begin paving.
