Of PAVING

The council met yesterday after
noon to consider the question of paw
ing in various forms which have not
previously come up for discussion.
The figures of She city engineer were
presented and showed that the total
cost of paving would amount to
S199,972.S4 of which the city's share
would be 65,252.s4. The Denver
& Rio Grande railroad would be re-
sponsible for 81 .56r64 and the City
Street Car Co. s33.159.O0. The fig
ures quoted are on the basis of $25.4O
per front foot and the payment for
the zane is to be made by the prop
ert, owners in ten annual payments
extending over a period of ten years.
This pays in full for the paving
proper. the cutters. lead pipe. curbs
and the sidewalk extended to a width
of 16 feet.
The commissioners met with about
twenty-five business men who were
for the most part, adverse to the idea
of paving at the present time. They
presented their objections and rea-
sons for the same but the council
