WHAT OF WEST COURT?

East Alta street seems in line for
paving even though a majority OF
property owners demonstrated against
paving under the district assessment
plan. The owners of property a5ut-
ting on Alta street show a desire to
pay for the Improvement themselves
and this being the caseNit will be re-
nlarkable if the work is not ordered
in accordance with their wishes.
When property owners along a street
desire to have their street paved and
are willing to pay for the work then
assuredly their wishes should be
granted.
Now it is possible property owners
on West Court street may show zeal
for improvement equal to that of their
Alta street brethren. Their street
needs paving as badly as does Alta
and even more so. Most of the travel
to the Roundup park is on West
Court 1t will be creditable to the
living on the side streets. Those peo-
ing and parking will also make that
street better from a residence stand
point Paving will make it a trim,
neat looking street and there will be
no clouds of dust from the travel to
and from the Roundup park.
1t so happens that on West Court
as we'll as on East Alta the majority
Of the demonstrators were parties
living on the side street Those peo-
pie felt they were paying too heavy
percentage of the paving cost, Many
people think they had good grounds
for their feelings.

has been set aside it will be interest
