Even with the contract for the paving Of

surance that the paving will be completed.
or even started this year AT the next meet
ing Of the council bids for the bonds must
be advertised for and this will take four
teen days. This will bring the opening of
bids into the first part of September Then
II the bonds are sold the purchasers will
nave at least twenty days to sign a con-
tract. After this will come the Autograph
Ing OF the bonds and the signing Of the
same by the mayor and city clerk. When
the bonds arc signed and deposited the
money will be forthcoming and not until
then. BY this time It will be somewhere
along In October and with frost the work
may be delayed. Parks johnson & Parks
secured the contract. One of the members
OF tais firm said last evening that it would
take at least a month to get material on
the ground for the commencement Of the
work. He further stated that there was
no chance of the paving being started until
the money is assured. This means that the
bonds will have to be sold and the pro-
ceeds deposited IN bank in South Omaha
before any effort will be made to secure
material or employ men for the work
In his estimate City Engineer Beal figures
that the pavement will cost about $4,000,
but the bid Of the Parks company cuts
this some and the bonds to be issued will
not amount 10 over $4,000. People residing
here appear TO be anxious to have the
street paved and the feeling is that the
work be started as soon as possible.
