A NEW STREET MAY BE GUT
 IN CITY
Petition Is Out For Thorough fare From 0. K, St, to Top of Youngblood Hill on Line of Present Trail.

A committed, composed of a mem Der of the Chamber of Commerce, l.. c. Shattuck and B. Caretto will to- day begin to canvas owners of prop erty along the trial leading from O. K. street at the Review office to Youngblood Hill with view to se- curing the unanimous consent of those owners 70 the widening of the present trail and make thereof a practical thoroughfare.
 J. E. Thompson. chairman of the committee on better streets of the Chamber of Commerce. and B. Caretto, one of the principle property owners in the district where the proposed i'm proyements are planned. yesterday in terviewed several property owners along the trail and those consulted are unanimous in their approval of the scheme.
 The plan is to make the present trail broad thoroughfare, suitable for the passage of teams, and practical entrance to the North Chihuahua Hill district for the fire department. It calls for the elimination of many dwelling houses, or at least their re- movaI in part from the line mapped out by the committee at the head of the proposed move.
 That resident property owners In the line of the proposed street will aceuiesce in the movement is little doubted by those who have the scheme at heart. Its benefit to the district men, toned cannot be measured in dollars T. ., condition han has ever existed in any portion of the hill districts in the city.
 The plan 10 widen and improve Chi huahua Hill trail is but the forerun- Fner of other like moves that will be put under way as soon as the present one it put through and its benefits realized by property owners in other coHgested parts of the city.
 The names of as many owners as favor the proposition will be obtained as quickly as possible and the petition will be submitted 10 the city council without delay. It is hoped that the city will see fit to take up the matter favorably.
 When the proceedings have reached this stage, the next step will be to condemn property over the new right of way. placing a fair price on the same and getting titles to ir in the name O. the city.
 This work will entail much work and q long period of time will neces- sar;ly be consumed in it's completion. The appraisal of property will have to follow the action of the city and set tlement arranged with the present owners. @
 TE all probability the plan of the city will be to first survey the roadway, condemn property necessary TO the work and arrive at satisfactory prices for the property so taken over. To off set tho burden of cost that will natur ally fall upon the city. those in the immediate district most benefited by the improvement wiI be taxed in pro- pert ion to tho benefit derived by them.
 The proposed roadway will be prac- t!caIIv straieht and will cut through scores of lots upon which dwellings new stand This will necessitate the removal or partial razing of many dwellings and this point alone will De the hardest to overcome in the circuIa- ton of the petition.
 The committee from the ChZmber of Commerce having the work in hand is composed Of J. E. Thompson, chair man: Gaien F. Humbert and ". E. Kelly.
