LAR AND OKANOGAN-DEA
BLOW TO NEAR BEER.

Il believe that all the principal
residence and business streets OF
Wenatchee should be put into an
Improvement district and have all
the red tape completed this winter
and contracts let so that actual i'm
provement work can be started
early in the spring." said Mayor
John A. Gellatly at the council meet
ing last night.
Following his suggestion motions
were made authorizing the city at
torney to prepare resolutions declar-
ing 1t to be the intention of the city
council to improve the following
streets: Mission street. from Second
Street North to the city limits or
Stevens street on the south; Okano-
gan avenue from Orondo to Stevens
street: Poplar street from Mission to
Miller The resolution will provide
for the grading, graveling and ce-
ment sidewalking of these streets. 1t
is also planned to pave three blocks
of Mission street.
This is but a starter at what the
council has in view in the street i'm
provement work. 1t is also expected

street, D street, E street, Palouse

council has in view an extensive sys-
tenn of sewers. This system includes
all of the western portion of the city,

Henry Schubert and other citizens
of Garden Home addition appeared
before the council and asked for the
grading of F street between Fifth
and Miller. This improvement would
include about half mile. The resi-
dents do not ask for sidewalking nor
graveling but simply the grading.
Further improvements are contem-
plated for next year, but these resi-
dents think that grading is about
all they can pay for this year. The
matter was referred to the street

on lower Okanogan avenue, between
