The petition for the repaving of kan
sas avenue was approved last night by
the city council.
The report of James McCabe, city en-
gineer, showed an excess Of 6S4 feet
of the necessary majority.
Throwing out every doubtful sigma
ture there would still be 500 feet more
than is necessary, said McCabe. sI
have examined the petition very care
fully and there is no question but what
It fulflls1ss1I requirements
The petition was presented to a spec
iaI meeting sof-the streets and walks
committee Immediately preceding the
council meeting. The committee ap-
proved the petition without demurring
and recommended to the council that it

without comment, accepting the recon-
mendation of the committee
The paving resolution was passed
soon after and the city clerk instructed

charteraact the paving resolution must
