Since the heavy rains the attention OF
the people has been called very forcibly
to the need OF more paved streets. There
was a scheme set on foot Saturday to
pave Twenty-third street from street
on the north TO either N or Q street on
the south Those who are interested in
seeing this street paved assert that the
cost would not amount to n great deal as
the street proper has been narrowed by
ordinance to thirty feet in width.
Under the new charter. It is said, this
pavement can be laid by vote OF the
council, the mayer concurrlng. One-third
OF the cost to be taxed to the abutting
property and two-thirds TO the city at
large. With asphalt pavem mt selling at 81
a square yard, the cost Of paving in front
OF a sixty-foot lot would be $780, At this
rate the cost to the abutting property own
ers would be s67. and the city would be
| called upon to pay the balance.
This question of paving Twenty-third
street is to be brought up in the council at
| an early date in order that those who
| favor the plan and those who are opposed
| may have an opportunity of expressing
their opinions.
Thirtieth street, from Q street south to
Y street. is to be paved this summer with
vitrified brick. AS with Twenty-third
street, the width of Thrtieth street has
been reduced to thirty feet and 1t is pos
itlvely stated that there will be no oppo-
sition to the paving, as there is great
deal Of travel on the street both summer
and winter.
| When the paving fever catches the peo-
| ple IL is expected that the council will be
| called upon to act upon large number of
| petitions. Some means may be devised
/ for the paving of Railroad avenue TO the
county line. This is a matter OF great i'm
portance and will doubtless be taken up
| by the proper oficials within the next
week or two.
