Just another few weeks, and after a
few more Spanish "mananas" and
Hyde Park avenue will undoubtedly
be paved. The councils, after long and
tedious delays many considered neces-
sary. have at last passed the necessary
legislation and an ordinance orovid-
ing for the paving" ETC., is now law.
The pave was first broached nearly
three years ago. but owing to some
technicalty received a decided set
back. A little over year later it was
taken up again and slowly, yet surely,
the matter advanced until it has
reached it's present happy and deserved
state To Messrs. Morse and Jones, of
the West Side board of trade streets
and bridges committee, is due a heap
ing measure of credit.
These gentlemen have labored dill
gently and increasingly toward the ac-
complishment of the desired purpose.
They are property owners and broad
minded citizens, and above all things
would not lend their aid or counsel to
any undertaking unless assured of its
real necessity and rightfulness. They
have always urged and .rightfully that
West Scranton is a most desirable res
be made attractive.
To this end improvements that in
tensify the health and natural beauty
of section must be instituted as fast
as necessity demanded, and the return
warranted the outlay. OF course there
were many who opposed the pave for
various reasons, and all this and much
more had to be contended with. The
la OF nd NO, HI l.
on the pave movement was made Just
before final reading. Several property
| owners filed petition before councils
setting forth that a new sewer was
necessity ere pave was laid.
The special part of the street affect
| ed was the block lying between Wash
burn and Jackson streets. Their claim
was that the sewer was almost made
quate for present necessities. The
councils temporarily acceded to their
requests so far as to have an investi-
cation made. The city engineer, street
commissioner anu several counCilmen
went over the ground. Their report
was that in their opinion the pave
could safely be laid under present ex-
isting conditions.
At present one sewer basin carries
| off the water shed of nearly six blocks
| In its vicinity. This, too, of mostly a
| dirt street. After the pave is laid,
there will be four sewer basins instead
| of one. and although the rush of sur
| face water into the sewer may be
quicker, still it will have a flushing
| instead of a blocking tendency, and
| no refuse other than ordinarily accum-
| ulates on pave will be washed into
| the sewer.
Though one wrong will not equalize
| another, nor will several small evils
be any better than one great one, vet
| several small rights may be depended
upon to eliminate one crying evil. The
pave will be laid. 1t will be of vitri-
fled brick, with proper curbing, cross
ings and cornerings. The sidewalks
viii be uniformly graded, and before
next winter sets in, if we ever get
one, after such hot weather as this, no
finer street, in proportion to it's location
and usage, will exist anywhere in the
| city. The pave will extend from Di-
vision street north to Lafayette street,
about six blocks.
