More Brick Paving Wanted.

A petition has been circulated among
the property owners of the block in
which are located the Grand opera
house and Ben Bears store, Block /,
requesting the city council to order
the alley in the rear of these stores
paved with brick, and it has met with
the approval and signature of nearly
all of the property owners This alley
has been one of the eye-sores of the
city for years, and all are of the opinion
that the best thing to do with it is to
pave it with brick, which will add
materially to the value of the abutt-
ing property, and remove a filthy alley
from the principal part of the city.
And also, we believe that Court and
River streets should be paved each one
block south.
