Brick Sidewalks.

The city council of Brookhayen are
considering the plan adopted by the
board of Aldermen OF jackson, Miss,
for laying simultaneously brick side
walks all over the city. To enable all
property owners who are able to, or
who do not wish to incur the expense
of building sidewalks at present, bonds
will be issued to cover cost of laying
walks and so arranged that a small
monthly or yearly tax be levied to pay
for the bonds and interest in twenty
years. Owners of property would have
the right to put down the side walks
at their own expense, If preferred, and
thus would not be taxed therefor.
Where brick sidewalks are already laid,
owners would not be required to lay
new ones. By this method nice new
sidewalks can be laid at once all over
town, at a minimum outlay to the
