DISCUSS COST Of PAVING
CITY COUNCIL HOLDS SPECIAL
.r SESSION FOR 1T.
ARE ONE STEP NEARER PAVING
City Attorney Weatherby Says That az
81 Soon as II Is Definitely Determined
l Where Street Intersection Paving
. Cost Comes From, Things start.


Only the cost OF paving street inter.
sections now stands In the way Of paw.
ing Norfolk avenue from Seventh
street to the Northfork bridge. At q
special session OF the city council last
evening the last of the technical steps
preparatory to paving Norfolk avenue
were taken. When city funds can be
found available for paving the street
intersections the city, according to
City Attorney Weatherby, will be In
position to call for bids on the con-
tract for paving the avenue.
A proposition that the cost of street
intersection paving should be assessed
against the paving districts encoun-
property owners present at the spe-
cial session of the council last even
ing. The meeting Of the council was
held for the purpose OF arranging to
assess the cost of the proposed paving
against adjacent property. To carry
out the requirements of law 1t was
voted that the property in the paving
district should be valued at the sum
of 800 per front foot for the purpose
of the assessment to pay for paving
the district.
The resolutions adopted also pro-
vided that the cost of paving the street
intersections should be paid by the
city. Exactly where this money Is to
come from was not known, but the
mayor and councilmen thought that
the necessary money could be made
available in some way. This task will
probably fall to the lot of the new
city administration.
The rest of the councils time last
evening was consumed in detail mat
tiers connected with the new sewer
system. The special committee of
the council reported that they were
farther than ever from reaching an
agreement with Gust Matchmaker re-
garding the matters under dispute be-
tween Matchmaker and the city. For
the reason that Mr.. Matchmaker re-
fused to put what the council thought
to be a fair price on the dirt neces-
sary to cover the 700 feet of sewer
pipe extending across his land to the
river, that part of the sewer contract
providing for the covering of this part
of exposed pipe at 81 cents per yard
of dirt was ordered Cancelled. Con.
tractor agreed to have the section
stricken from his contract and
thought that the city would save mon
ey by waiting for more opportune
time to have the grading done.
The question as to whether or not
Contractor Herrick had right to ex-
tend private drains into the new sew

cense was brought up but no action
taken. Contractor Herrick is to put
in several house connections with the
