This was the adotion of resolution that the city attorney be requested to at once pre- pare charter amendment providing for general paving scheme covering the following points: First auth ority to pave either by contract or by the city authorities any or all of the streets of the city with such material as the boards may designate. Second author ity to issue bonds to pay for said sur vey. Third, that the boards in any scheme of paving shall give preference to the streets heretofore designated in the charter amendment which has al- ready been adopted. Fourth, all other necessary power to be given the boards as will enable them to continue the scheme of paving entered upon until all the streets necessary to be paved shall have been dealt with. It is thought this scheme may result in a satisfactory adjustment of the differ ences that have so long existed
