The Green Forest tribune., 1903-01-24
AFTER CAPT. HAWLEY'S $5
Sidewalk to Depot May be Com
 plete by tIic State Meeting.

When our good friend, Capt. T. F. Hawley of Eureka Springs, starts over to Green Forest to at tend the state horticultural meet ing he would better put an extra V in his pocket for he may find that the condition upon which he unsoicitedly subscribed five dol lars to apply on the cost of a side walk to the depot has been met. Unless the council falls down in It's avowed purpose, a walk cov- ering the distance from Main street to the railway station will
 have been built by that time.
 Finding that the enforcement of side walk building by proper ty owners by ordinance to be a slow proceeding, owing to statute requirements, the council decided that, since all resident property
 owners on the preferred route are
 willing to build walks at once, it will build the nonresident por- tion at the towns expense and unless such property owners are
 willing to reimburse the town treasury for the expense incurred, in due course of time the cost can
 be levied against the property. If the owners of such lots prefer, tiiey can, of course, build their own walks, and in such an event the one built by the town can be rtaken up and used elsewhere or sold; but the greatest possible economy is being used and it is not probable that any property owner can find a cheaper course than to pay for the walk already
 built. The walks are being laid in sections so that removal will be easy should such a course be
 necessary.
 Beginning at the northwest corner of the Ragland store build ing on Broadway, the walk will run on the south side of Ninth street a distance of 525 feet to the bridge across the east prong |of Yocum. Except the lot upon which this building is situated the ground thus covered belongs, so we understand, to pr. Dawson 5 of Alton, I. T., hence the whole distance is being built by the Flown. Crossing the bridge the ~next 75 feet is owned by Mrs. Dora Bailey, next 150 feet by Mack Bradley and next 150 feet sby Hugh Sample all these being snonresidents of the town the walk will be built for them by 1.-the town. w. L. Robison's s 15O Afront comes next and he promis- { les to build a walk that will meet Ethe requirements at once. A. E. Rogers owns the next 15O feet An(A being a nonresident the
 Ns.vill build another link. John
 I comes next with l50 feet md the work here will be put in lat once by the owner. This Brings us Up to John Buell's Spitce which has a stretch of 45O Fleet, 150 on Ninth and 300 on sSodth Springfield. It is needless to say that his will be put in in sgood shape at once, as he is one of the council men, who has in- Sstituted this sidewalk campaign. Next adjoining BueIl is Jesse French who promises to have a |Walk built by the time the others do. Len White owns tine next .3OO and will do the handsome lthing by building without delay. The remaining 150zfeet in the IAasingame addition is owned by asnonresident and here the coun- 1cl has another job. Crossing over the street the next 453 feet is the property of William Me Kinney. Here Mr. Mckinney has widenea the street at his own and is unwilling to build walk and donate land both. and as the present width isvery desir- able the council thinks 1t the part of wisdom to build this walk i'll consideration of the land.
