Will Be Greatly Increased In
the Near Future.
COUNCIL VOTED FOR IT
The Work Will Begin in a Very Short
Time And Will be Pushed to
an Early Completion.

AS the result of last nights meeting OF
the council the paved area OF Butte Will
be largely increased in the near future,
the council adopting most of the paving
resolutions introduced under the Har-
rington administration. The Harrington
resolutions, which were introduced IN
March, met with some opposition on the
part of property owners of some OF the
proposed improvement districts, n
written protests were filed when the
resolutions creating the proposed i'm
provement districts were introduced, but
Mayor Harrington held that, under the
law the property owners shout appear
before the council in person and make
oral protest. AS there was no oral pro-
tests made the resolutions were adopted.
About this time the old council went out
of existence. With the incoming of the
new council a new set of esOlutlons were
introduced, and referred to the judiciary
committee, which met Wednesday after
noon and heard objections. The commit
