Applegate has a jewelers. store. He

The city council is considering the
question of organizing the city into paw
ing districts for the purpose OF issuing
bonds and paving the sidewalks OF the
city in cement. The question is one
not thoroughly understood by the peo-
pie and much misleading information
has been given by some who oppose the
movement. No district can be paved
until majority Of the sidewalk frontage
has signed the petition, and then the
cost is apportioned to the lots in proper
ton to the frontage, and not the valua'
ton az some have claimed. A man with
a corner lot will have to pay for his en-
tire frontage, but in signing the petition
he has that much greater voice. The
bonds are not made payable until 20
years, but lot owner has the privilege
of paying off his amount at any time
The rate OF interest is low and the taxes
against even corner lots will not be &c
very much greater than the amount re-
quired to keep up a cinder walk. Al
any rate the property owners have the
matter IN their own hands and can take
it or turn it down as they choose.
