There has been much trouble experi-
enced in carrying ont this resolution OF
the Council In the first place II was
impossible to make the extension beyond
Allison Avenue $40 feet wide and in or
der 90 make Il as much as 100 II was
necessary 10 make the alleys in the rear
Of the property on both sides fifteen feet
instead Of twenty feet wide This was
readily agreed TO. but when il came %
making a l3o-foot street look as Vide as
l4'-toot thoroughfare there was "a wide
difference Of opinion among those inter
ested. The proposition Of the CITY Engl-
neer 70 make the sidewalks only seven
fett wide. SO as 10 make the middle Of
the extension as wide as the eastern sec
ton OF Monument Avenue. did not meet
the views Of p majority OF the property
owners. who wanted the sidewalks 20 be
twelve feet wide. as on the eastern part.
and no agreement was reached during the /
lifetime Of The old Council At "a recent /
meeting of the Committee on Streets IL /
was decided to take the matter up al the /
next meeting and settle the question one
way or the other. Accordinglv. q meet
