Hampton. May I'm accordance
with the expressed wish of a goodly
number of the property owners con-
cerned, the city council held special
meeting to consider the matter of
street paving. A resolution was pre-
sented, and ordered published, favor
ing the proposed improvement, and 1t
seems to be sure that Hampton will
make a good start in that line this
summer.
The streets proposed to be paved are
the same as heretofore announced,
with the addition of one block west of
the Iowa Central tracks on Fourth
street-ten blocks in all. The material
proposed is the best vitrified paving
brick on a foundation of one and ones
half inches Of sand and five inches Of
concrete, and with cement curbing.
Very little objection has been heard
to the project, and the majority of the
aDuttlnS property OWNERS seem WilllHS!
that the Improvement shall be made.
All realize that Fourth street especial
ly has needed to be in better condition
for years. The council wishes to in
vestigate paving matters somewhat
and accordingly N. w. Beebe, G. e.
Sargent, c. +. Roemer, Chris Simon
son and w. T. Webb went to Des
Moines yesterday morning as such
committee.
Not to be outdone by the city council
in the way of street improvements this
summer, number of those who reside
on Fifth street, east of Main, are urg-
ing quite earnestly that their street,
which is exceptionally wide, be beauti-
fed by park about twenty feet in.
width on either side of the driveway,
and bordered with cement curbing.
If this were done, East Fifth street
would easily be the banner thorough
fare of the city This street is about
eighty two feet wide, SO that ample.
room would be left in the middle for
vehicles.
