UP TO THE PEOPLE
CITY FATHERS DETERMINE PAW
 ING MUST BE DONE.
After Years of Contention It Ia Decided to Get the Matter Out of the Way of the COun-
 cilmen.

After years of contention, the City Council last night ordained that Perry Street should be paved from Washing ton Street to the city limits. The ma terial to be used to be selected later from the following named materials: Brick, bitulithic, asphalt, granolithic granitoid, mineral rubber or creosoted blocks.
 It was expressed in the Council that the people paying for the paving might do the choosing. but paved the street should be, for the matter had been pending in Council long enough.
 The street paving was first taken up President Gunter made little talk before opening the work, that might pass for a sort of blessing. He said ' that the Council would take up the paving matter first so the good citi- gems present, primed to kick might not lose any of their ginger waiting. But the citizens were not given half chance at Perry Street, that was swept through to an ordained metropolitan state in dignity tempered with dis patch. Then the other streets were tackled and ran the gauntlet as fol- lows:
