MOVEMENT
FOR SIDEWALKS
7. E. EngIehart and Others
Getting Agreements Signed
BY Residents.

Vn6fe is very ucCiuou AhO'OhhOhl
on foot for very substantial improve
ments on Canadian avenue.
Contracts for good brick sidewalks
are being let and an unbroken line Of
sidewalk from the court house west
for blocks Is now soon to be realty.
T. K. Englehart and Others have taken
up the matter and are pushing it as
rapidly as possible and are wonder
fully encouraged at the prospect.
Every one, except one or two, who
owns realestate on either side Of Can
adian avenue seems eager to put in
this walk, provided the rest will.
Mr.. Englehart has procured prop
osition from a home man who Is a
good sidewalk builder and the enire
lob has been figured on and the cost
to each individual who puts in the
walk is consequently very much re-
duced.
The mayor and one or two OF coun-
cilmen have been iterviewed as to put
ting in the in the crossings in the
streets and alleys and promised to use
their influence. toward getting them
built if the property owners will only
put In the walks.
1t is hoped that the proposed walk
will be run as far west as Davis Hill's
residence on Adair street before July
1905.
The move is the kind that will start
the Improvement fad" off on the
right foot. Let there be one unbroken
line Of sidewalk put through in Vi
nita, and the convenience and en-
hancement in value Of realestate along
that street will be so certainly real
lied that the rest OF the people In
town will be more apt to order their
telephones taken out Of their houses
and places of business than they will
to refuse to to build a good sidewalk
In front Of their home or vacant lot.
Speak word In favor Of this move.
Help it along. Let the ones interested
in this know that you are just waiting
and watching to see the result Of their
initial move.
Public sentiment positively ex-
pressed just now is what the pro-
moters Of this little move are very
in need Of.
The ones who have already put in
their walks along this street are
Henry Miller, w. r. McGeorge, DR..
Pinquard, A. L. Churchill, John Ham
ilton and w. II. Darrough. Those
who have not but who are expected to
let a contract soon to build nice
brick or cement walk TO complete the
line are Mr.. Raymond, DIR. Owens,
Dr. Chapman, the Chouteau estate,
John c. Gray, f. L. Burckhalter and
w. K. Halsell.
