Another Step Toward Pavina.

Mayor Friday hopes next year at
this time to find Norfolk avenue paved
from First street to Seventh. And in
dications are that this hope will ma
terialize.
Another step toward the paving of
the business part of the avenue was
taken afew days ago when the city
council passed an ordinance creating
a sewer district on Norfolk avenue
from First street to Seventh. Bids for
this new sewer, to replace the old sew.
er now draining the street, will be ad
yertised for in the very near future
and the work will be finished this
summer. With this sewer out of the
way, the paving of Norfolk avenue
will be in order.
Many property owners on Norfolk
avenue have been in favor of paving,
but have insisted that a suitable sewer
system should be constructed under
the streets surface before the paving
was undertaken, in order to save cut.
ting up the paving later when the sew
er should be built. This was the view
taken by Mayor Friday and upon TAX.
ing his seat this spring he immediate
ly set about it to create new sewer
district along the street, this being
accomplished by the ordinance Just
passed.
Property Owners Want 1t.
The mayor believes that a very
great majority of the property owners
along the thoroughfare are now in IA
vor of paving and that the matter of
getting signers to a petition will be
easily achieved.
Property owners are more enthusi-
astic over paving now than at any
time in the past, and sentiment may
be said to be overwhelmingly in favor
of this progressive step which, it is
realized, will increase property values
materially.
History shows that city never be-
comes a real city until it begins to
pave it's Streets" said N. A. Rainbolt
the other day. land I am anxious to
see Norfolk avenue paved" This sen.
timent is expressed by a majority OF
the property owners.
Paving Will Spread.
It is likewise universally felt that
| just as soon as Norfolk avenue is
paved, paving will spread over the en-.
tire city. 1t will be like the spread of
the sewer people declare, and will
rapidly spread into the residence sec.
tons.
Such men as Colonel S. s. Cotton
and N. A. Rainbolt even now would be
glad to see paving undertaken on Nor
folk avenue and Koenigstein avenue
in the residence sections. And there
is widespread sentiment favoring the
paving of one street to Norfolk juno
ton as quickly as possible.
The new sewer to be built along
Norfolk avenue will replace the old
system built in 1888 from Fifth street
to the river. The new sewer will be
a part of the sewer system constructed
couple of years ago to the Elkhorn
river, and will be permanent The
plan was laid out by the late Andrew
Rosewater of Omaha. Mayor Friday
favors 14-inch pipes down Norfolk av
enue instead of Pinch, as the Rose
water plans call for.

water suits of the many that have re-

Involves new theories Of water perco-
lation and seepage. the proving OF
which might have a wide bearing on
the appropriation of water and bring
to the notice Of irrIgators generally q
new method of storing water.
The water users of North Ogden and
neighborhood, with old established
rights, have protested against the di-
yerting of the headwaters of Ogden
river to the farm lands of Eden and
the upper valley, claiming priority
right and alleging damages, The Eden
irrigationists have sought to prove
that whatever water, In excess of that
which is theirs by right OF adjudica-
ton, has been applied to their lands,
has been absorbed by the soil, much
as q sponge absorbs water and, after
slowly. seeping through the surface
soil. has reappeared lower down as
springs on the banks Of the streams
of Ogden valley The North Ogden
farmers; through their attorneys and
expert witnesses, are attacking this
contention and as result the issue Is
being fought out In manner which
promises to clear UP disputed points
and make plain the duty of the court.
The outcome of the case vii! be
watched by lrrigationists all over the
West for 1t will not only prove
or disprove new theory of water stor-
age, but in case the Eden farmers are
successful 1t will make possible further
appropriation of water on all the head

streams OF the e1irrigated region.
