Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1900-12-31

Notes Frcm Sunnyside.
On Saturday the citizens OF Sene
ca voted on the question Of issuing
bonds to be used in paving their
principal streets. The proposition
carried by big majority seventy
votes being cast for it and six against
the plan. 1t had been a foregone
conclusion tor some days that it
would carry and what little opposi-
ton there had been to the plan
abandoned their guns and sought
refuge in flight.
The council will take steps at
once to let the contract for the pay
ing and as soon as Spring opens the
paving will be laid. The bonds will
have to be disposed of first but it is
not thought that there will be any
trouble to do this as the town is
growing rapidly and will be much
better from year to year than it is
now.
1t is matter Of congratulation to
everyone that the proposition carried
sand Seneca is going to join Morgan
town in the possession of pavements
that will take her out of the mud to
some extent at least With Beech
hurst paved The University will
probably pave their part of that
street and Morgantown should get
ready to pave the rest of it from
Front street to the University line.
