COST TO THE CITY LIGHT

With the opening of the summer
season and the beginning of the build
ing and construction work of the year,
the board of local improvements IS
considering several improvements in
the way of street paving An effort
will be made, it is hoped to continae
the connecting up of cross streets,
started recently in the lower part IF
consider the Improvement, in partici-
lar. of the avenues between Fifteenth
and Twenty-third streets, and north of
Twelfth avenue.
Would Cost Little.
One strong argument i'll favor Ci
improvements of this character is that
they would mean no burden on the city
treasury. The intersections have al
ready been paved, and consequently
the city's portion of the cost is al
ready paid.
In discussing the situation today. a
professional man pointed out that
while the streets are paved, many 81
them through to the city limits, there
is no loop connecting them south ni
Seventh avenue, Twelfth, Fifteenth
Sixteenth, Seventeenth. Nineteenth
Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-seconC
and Twenty-third streets are all paved
but they are not connected by paving
on any of the avenues south of Sew
enth avenue.
Pave Eleventh Avenue.
1t is suggested that the board of 10
cal improvements investigate the mat
ter of paving Eleventh avenue. from
either Twelfth or Fifteenth street Il
Twenty-third street. If the avenues
were improved from Fifteenth tc
Twenty-third street, there would be nc
intersection for the city to pay for
and there would be but few if any i'm
