Petition in For Two More Miles
of Streets.
These Will Be Approved Next
Week by Commissioners.
ARE REJECTED.
Because They Did Not Have Re-
quired Number Signatures.
Commissioner Tandy Discusses
Paving Matters in General.

Petitions for nearly two miles of paw
ing Will probably be approved by the
board OF city commissioners next week,
and as many more petitions will have
to be rejected, due to the fact that
the number of signers does not come
up to that required by law which is
one-half of the abutting property own
erS.
1t will be the first of February, how
ever, before the paving contract is let.
These petitions which will be grant
ed" said Commissioner w. G. Tandy,
must be published in the official city
paper six times, and after that is done
20 days must be allowed for protests.
Under these conditions we cannot let
the contract before the first of Feb
ruary.
THE petitions which have come be-
fore the commissioners will probably
be definitely acted upon next week.
This morning 1 have been talking with
the board members and we have de-
cided to let the people have until De-
cember Is to get in their petitions. The
petitions which will be thrown out on
account of a lack of a sufficient num-
Der of signers, may be presented before
that day with the names of the re-
quired number of petitioners attached.
Il have two or three petitions in my
possession which as yet have not gone
before the board"
