AGAINST CURB|yC
Meet With City Council and Protest
Against the curbing Of Boise St.
Prefer Widening OF Sidewalk, Gut
tering and Crawling or Paving.

The meeting of the city council on
last Monday evening was attended
by nearly every man owning proper
~ abutting on Boise street. The
council had given notice for all prop
erty owners on this street to appear
and give their reasons why Boise
street should not be curbed. After
much discussion a poll taken of
those present showed sixten against
curbing and none for it. They were
all however in favor OF street i'm
proyement and of doing something
as starter with Boise street from
the Commercial hotel to the Moss
Mercantile Company building.
Some f1vored widening the ado
walks to twelve or sixteen Ieet but
4ltel much discussion it was point
cd out that this would necesstate
,ne moving OF the light ana telephone
yoies, or the sidewalk extension with
NE poles in the sidewalk would
20 oi no use.
Inc discussion tended 10 show
mat the majority present were IN
.ayor OF a WIDE street as al pres
mt ana thar some plan SHOULD be
ADOPTED whereby Uniform gutteriAg
could be put in ana then the street.
Improvement either in the form OF
rushed stone rolled in or gravel
pat on. The general argument iav-
ring the wide street was taken be.
ause OF the firm belief that 1t will
ye only a short time until an inter
drban line will run through this city
nd this coming true with two tracks
"A the center OF the street taking up
.ourteen feet from center to center
and four feet more for ties would
cave with the street at its present.
Width just about enough room for
eamsters with wagons to pass each
ther on either side of the tracks.
The impression left by the prop
srty holders was that they would
lssist and be willing to improve the
jtreet in any feasible way with the
exception that they were against
urbing and parking the business
streets but many of them approved
of the plan on the residence streets.
