idea of how other cities look at the
paving proposition.
The Puyallup (Ore) Republican
says:
H. T. Shredder, of Boise, Ida, visit
, ed his brother, C. J. Schroeder, this
week. Mr.. Schroeder spent all the
time at his disposal looking over
/ Puyallup and he is enthusiastic over
the prospects for development Com
menting on the proposed street i'm
provement, Mr.. Schroeder said:
Nothing can be done that will ad-
vance the city's interests like paving
some of the streets and making
things look like business. That's
what changed Boise from a small
town to a city of 10000. A few
years ago there were only 10000 or
10000 people and the growth did
not start until the property owners
began to do something in the way of
street improvements. Puyallup will
have the same experience. Paving
one street means paving another and
it will not be long before all the
main thoroughfares through the town
are paved.
Il am sure the people of Puyallup
will be satisfied with the bitulithic
pavement A lot of this pavement was
laid in Boise three years ago and it
is not yet showing any signs of wear.
Boise people are we'll pleased with it,"
Mr.. Schroeder is in the grain and
livestock business in Boise.
The Umpqua, Ore, News says:
That the citizens of Roseberg are
more than pleased with paved streets
could not be better evidenced than by
the latest move, that of circulating a
petition to pave Mill street from the
intersection of Mosher street to the
intersection of Short street, dis
lance of five blocks.
Jos. Micelli one of the pavement
boosters, offers 5000 as a premium,
while City Attorney Micelli, offers a
like premius of $780, aside from pay
ing his proportionment of the cost.
Mr. Marcelli states that a majority
of the property owners are anxious
to have the streets improved, and he
anticipates little difficulty in bring
ing the project to a naturalization.
1t is said that property owners in
other sections of the city are also
considering the advisability of petit
tioning for paved streets, realizing
as they do that such improvements
are essential in bringing town to
the front.
The Lewiston Tribune has the fol-
lowing:
THE paving of Lewiston's streets
is the best investment the city and
property owners can make and as a
property owner on East Main street
beyond the present paving district, 1
hope the council will talks such action
as will secure for us the pavement of
that thoroughfare before winter sets
ill.," said A. ]. Stuart, of Westlake
yesterday. Mr.. Stuart has been a resi-
dent of the mountain country for the
past several years and last year COM
menced making investments in Lew
iston and Charleston.
Il acquired property on East Main
street during the past year." continu-
ed Mr. Stuart, land feel that the adj
vance in property values will be in
excess of the cost of the pavement as
soon as the work is completed. One
of the drawbacks to Lewiston has been
the condition of the streets during the
winter. This locality has been gen.
orally advertised as a winter resort
and people from all sections of the
United States have visited Lewiston
during the winter time to find the
streets a sea of mud
Because of the absence of drainage
this street condition has existed after
weeks of dry weather and it has not
been uncommon to pass through Lew
iston's streets when the walks were
dry, and warm, pleasant weather over
Hedu, DuI demand IOr rubber boots
when it came to crossing the streets
| have watched these conditions for
| several years and belive l am making
no mistake when l state the actual
value of property will be increased
to an amount greater than the cost
of the pavement as soon as that i'm
provement is completed. That is the
reason | am interested in the pave
ment of East Main street. The growth
of the city is now started that way.
During the winter there will be many
visitors to Lewiston and wherever the
paved streets are to be found, there
will be the demand for property in
vestments."
