Council Awards Paving Contract.

AT a meeting of council Monday
night Messrs. r. E. & E. n.
Beatty of Georgetown were award
ed the contract for 5000 feet of
paving. The paving will be done
on the south side of Main street
from Railroad avenue to Second
avenue and on the cast side of
Railroad avenue from Main to
Harrison streets. The specifica-
tions call for a 10 foot sidewalk
with 4 l inch top dressing and :.
4 inch sub-foundation of crushed
stone. The price submitted by the
Mcssrs. Beatty was Sl.OS for the
first 1000 yards and S1.O5 for the
second thosuand yards. The town
has entered into contract with
the property owners on these
streets TO pay one-half the cost,
provided the property owners
would pay the other half. Coun-
Gil also passed a resolution max
ing the same offer to property
owners from First avenue down
Main street to Fourth Avenue,
and on Railroad avenue from
Main to Harrison streets. When
this work is completed which takes
in practically all of the business
district the same offer will be
made to owLers of property in the
residence section and it is not un-
likely that the paving will be laid
all over town. Council also has
under consideration a proposition
to lay vitrified brick over the street
crossings. When the paving is
completed in the business district
it is probable that the railroad
will pave around the depot and
lay vitrified brick over their cross
ings at Main and Harrison streets.
