cdcd that the proposed street imprEvc-

seven blocks OF concrete pavement,
with concrete curbing. Tho walkwny
will be four feet wide. and will have
n grass plot on either side extending
to tho curling.
The pavement Will be laid on Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth
Streets. The approximate cost of such

nc used extensively here. It is con-
sidered to be the most economical

n great advantage. In many or the

thorouGhfares are paved in this man
