PAY TWICE FOR PAVING
PETITION TO BE SUBMITTED TIC
CITY COUNCIL.
South Lawrence Street Property own
ers Claim City Received Too
Much Money and Ask
for Relief.

Has a part of the paving on South
Lawrence Street been paid for twice?'
This will be a live question before
the City Council at it's meeting Tues
day evening.
All of yesterday a petition was cir
culated among the property owners OF
that street, asking that the Council re-
fund to the property owners the mon
eys paid for paving nine feet on the
street which the Montgomery Traction
Company has already paid.
1t will be remembered that under the
city ordinance. street railways are COM
PEELED to pave the space between their
tracks and two feet on either side OF
the tracks. 1t is commended that a.
soon as the street railway took up a
brick to lay their tracks, they were
compelled to pay the city for the paw
ing.
The apparent flaw was first discov-
cred yesterday morning by Mr.. Edgar
Winter. He at once began to circulate
the petition to the Council for relief
| and it was signed by every propert,
owner on the street.
When seen last night, Mr.. Winter
said
1T is apparently an oversight on tho
part of the authorities of the city gov
eminent. If the Traction Company has
paid for this paving, the citizens GER
| tainly should not be compelled to pa.
out their money for the same purpose
1t will be an immense relief to the prop
erty holders, as it will relieve then
from paying for four and one-half fee
along their property"
The petition was turned over to AL
derman Lobman of Ward 3. and 1t will
be presented by him at the next meet
ing of the Council.
