among the residents of Washington

of the property owners OF that street

The petition, its clauses and require
ments were carefully gone over by
the property owners present, and eN-
planned by II. X. McCollum of the
McQuatters Plumbing company.
The petition calls for paving the
street as far north as Fifth aveune.
All property owners present were
heartily In favor of paving the street
and expressed themselves as so be-
ing In fact they We're enthusia site
over the prospect.
when the paving Is carried ON as
far as Fifth avenue. 1t is probable
that the property owners north OF
that avenue will sign up the petition
To have the street paved in front OF
their homes. \ petition circulated
some time ago to have the street
paved to eleventh avenue was signed
by almost all the property owners,
only few refusing to sign it and
it is thought all can be- induced 70

the farmers. The great agricultural
advancement of the United states
within the past twenty years has
been due In very large measure to

other things which they are willing
