The daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1906-1907, 1906-12-13
STREET PAVING
CAN BE,,D0NE

No idea for improvement ever pro-
posed in this city has met with the
instant favorable response as the
proposition to pave Carson street.
To the howl that property is not
assessed hign enough on Carson
street to stand the expense, there IS
nothing but silurian desire to knock
any Improvement proposed in this
city the same old knock, without
zens of the place will get together
and consider the proposition serious
The work car be done through 4
bond issue without any trouble at
all. The city is Incorporated and can
issue bonds. Even if the straight ass
essment is not high enough, an adj
tional tax small enough to be mere
bagatele if distributed over a period
Of say ten years, the life CT the
bonds. will defray the expense OF the
work without causing any inconvcn-
ience to any property holder in this
city
in many cases, a street improve
ment distric- is extended from the
street on which the work is done. TO
streets triburar, to that street, and #
i came to Il matter of assessment,
where the Jotal at the legal limit Was
TOO low this could be done here.
II seems TIE opinion Of most Il
those who are discussing the PROPOSE
ton that the whole city should bear
i share Of the expense. The improve
ment will benefit the whole city so
the entire property Of the city should
assist in the work. To make this
proposition more attractive. few
hundred dollars could be added TO the
total amout raised, and the side
give Carson City the best streets IN
the state at a small relative cost.
The Appeal is in a position to say
that if the work of paving Carson
street could be ACCOMPLISHED this
spring, the contracts could be let for
very much less than at later period
The Barber Paving company would
move its plant, now in Reno, where
it will remain for some months finish
ing up some work there, and the eA
pense Of moving here would be much
less than from some california point
There is no necessity for Carson
City TO have the experience OF Rene
with her paving work. Reno skimp
ed the work shamefully and WheI
Jne paving failed to show UP to i;
ful efficiency, as it always does whoI
d good Job is lot done, the Reno peo
Die howled loud and long. 1t wa
,ueir own fault Had Inc work beer
put down properly there would haVt
teen 10 fault.
the Appeal Is able to furnish The
trustees with a complete SCI Oh sp9cl
uCaIlUuS ICr piece oil paving INA
has been pronounced one OF tne beo
streets In the world. This street Wa:
aid uve years ago and has cost les:
than $500 for repairs i'll that time
The whole work cost nearly S10O,OoO
a repair bill of less than .oo7o pei
cent per anhun.
Carson City can have just as goot
:, iop on Carson street, from the ram
road crossing or from the top OF th'
nill opposite the old Robt. Nj Clarl
residence. to Petersen's hay yard d
a cost the city can well afford 10 ul
dertake.
Don't let this die for want Of LIT
lie support. The trustees are Wlilln;
to take the proper steps and the pre-
liminary work should be done now
The legal formalitles and limits cal
be arranged, as there is NOTHING
IN THE STATE LAW TO PRENENl
CARSON CITY FROM PAVING ITS
STREETS, WHATEVER THE COST
MY BE.
