HARDINC'S ADDITION
WANTS SIDEWALKS.
Property Owners In Hardings Ad-
dition Ask The City Council
To Create a Sidewalk Dis
trict In That Section
of Town.

Of Town.
A petition of the majority Of the
property owners in Roe & Harding's
att;tion, Harding's addition, and part
of Harding's subdivision to Canon
City was laid before the city council
last Monday night asking that a side
walk district be created in that part of
town which will enable them to take
advantage of the provisions of the
state statutes for the construction Of
concrete sidewalks.
Mr. Harding, who is the largest
landed proprietor in that part of the
city, was the prime mover in the enter
prise. and it was mainly through his
public spiritedness that the matter was
carried out. The action of the proper
ty owners alluded to is most COM
mendable, and will doubtless be in
fuential in causing the residents of
other sections Of the city to petition
the council for similar legislation. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets, alleys and bridges and the
city attorney for consideration with the
request that they report their recon-
mendations at the next regular meet
ing.

council on behalf Of C. r. C. Dye and
asked for a reduction Of water rates for
the Strathmore hotel. The matter was
referred to the water committee for
investigation.
A petition, signed by seventy-five
citizens, was presented TO the council
asking that the streets sand alleys lbe
cleared Of all boulders and other OBJ
structions. The petition was referred
to the proper committee with the re-
quest that report be made ut the
next meeting. Complaint has been
rife for some time regarding the con-
dition OF the .treets and alleys and the
petition referred to was the outgrowth
of that dissatisfaction. 1t is alleged
by those in . position to know some
thing about the state Of affairs that the
streess aad alleys are in more neg
lected condition now from the causes
mentioned than for many months

council and its execution is a matter of
the utmost interest to the people liv-
ing in the vicinity.
