Missouri Avenue People Indignant .
Residents on Missouri avenue and In the
territory Immediately tributary are saying
all kinds OF things about the mayor, city
council and MCGOWAN the curbing contrac-
tor. As soon as the money for the paving
OF Missouri avenue was received Hugh
Murphy who has the contract for paving
was notified, so was MCGOWAN, who has
the contract for the curbing Mr.. Murphy
replied TO his notice by saying that he was
ready TO start the paving just as soon as
the curbing was completed. MCGOWAN
never so much as answered the notices sent
him. hence the complaint Of residents about
the delay in starting this work It was
stated on the streets yesterday that on
Monday night committee of citizens
would request the council to take the curb
ing contract from MCGOWAN and let IL TO
some one who would at least make a start.
What makes the people sore Is the fact
that the money Is available for the inn
provements and that 80 far all efforts to
get MCGOWAN to start the curbing have
failed More than likely MCGOWAN will be
notified next week to make a start or else
the contract for curbing will be taken from
him.
