BROADWAY PAVING PROBLEM tr
Commercial club VIII Make EHort TO
Fix street.


Fix street.
The executive committee Of the CONNER
cial club took a trip yesterday afternoon
to inspect the condition Of lower Broad
way and Avenues r and c west Of the
Illinois Central tracks. The committee ar
rived at the conclusion that the strip be-
tween the paving on Broadway should be
macadamlzed from Thirteenth street to
the approach to the street railway com
panys bridge.
The committee realized that the city and
the abutting property owners are unable
to bear the expense Of the work. and It was
decided to make an effort to raise the
money by popular subscription. The COM
mittee does not believe that sufficient
money could be raised at one time for i'm
proving the entire thoroughfare from Thir-
tenth street to the bridge approach but
is of the opinion that 1t could be accom-
plished in a few years by persistent eff
fort.
In connection with the Improvement OF
Broadway, which is naturally the main
thoroughfare between this city and Omaha,
the committee is of the opinion that aid
could be secured from across the river,
especially from those firms whose wagons
make the trip between the two cities daily,
or at least two or three times a week.
After inspecting Avenues and c, the
committee will urge the city authorities
TO keep In constant use on these dirt
thoroughfares the King road drag. as It
believes that its use will keep these roads
in passable condition under all conditions
Of weather. Just before the recent rain
both avenues had been placed in first-class
condition by the use of the King road
drag, but travel on them during and since
the rain has cut them up again.
