ALTHOUGH the city council has set a
dafe for hearing objections from prop
erty owners TO the proposed filling in of
1GIusoula gulch and making a street out
OF II, Il seems likely that the plan Will
be knocked out in its present form at
any rate without any protest from the
peuperty owners The reason for this Is
that the estimated cost of the work Is
greater per front foot han can legally
be taxed on property for special m
provements. The city engineer has esti-
mated the cost of this work at $3.50 per
'front.' foot. That would be $165 on a
3o-foot lot. The law provides that a
property cannot be assessed for special
improvements to a greater amount man
Is per cent. of the assessed valuation OF
the lot. Many at least of the lots along
Missoula gulch could not be assessed for
the Improvement for this reason.
While the cost Of making a street out
of M~issoula gulch would be great there
IL . general desire hat the improve
ment be made. The property along MIS-
soula guich would be marvelously
HANGED in value and IL is believed that
most of them are favorable to the i'm
provement in spite OF the great cost. The
provision named above would. however,
doubtless knock out the plan In its pres
ent form. II may be possible. however,
for the rovem to be brought about
by the city paying SO per cent. OF the
cost instead of Is per cent. as contem-
plated under the present plan. BY the
city paying SO per cent. OF the total cost,
the share for the property owners to pay
would be reduced to less than % per
cent. Of the value of their lots and thus
would come within the law. In regard
to sewer and grading improvements the
Law u that the city must pay 20 per
cent. Of the cos and may pay as high
a. 20 per cent. of IL. but not more than
that. In all the grading and sewer work
done last year and what has been let
for this year, the city has paid % per
cent. OF the cost. Owing to the import
ance Of having Missoula gulch filled. and
the fact hat II would be a splendid
thing for the city as a whole to have
this unsightly gulch filled up and con-
verted into a fine street. many favor
the city paying a larger proportion OF
the cost OF the improvement than Ii has
paid OF the other improvements In grad
ing and sewers. Unless the city pays 90
per cent. OF the cost, or close to that
proportion, the Improvement of Missoula
eulch will have to be abandoned.
1t is likely that the matter Will be con-
ssdered at to-night's council meeting.
Some change must. 1t is believed, be
r,ade in the plan and the aldermen Will
probably make the change tonight.
