Opposition to SarcO.
Opposition is anticipated to the repaving
Of Q street from Twenty seventh to Thirty
third street with sarco In fact, there was
delegation at the meeting OF the council
Thursday night with this avowed purpose.
The street is at present paved with
granite blocks and a number OF the own
ers contend all that is required is that
these blocks should be relaid upon a proper
bed and that the expense OF laying with
sarco would be avoided. Q street il one
of the arteries in the west part Of the

that the new material will not be as dura-
BILE as the relaid granite blocks.

yet been filed, but it is stated they are
ready for filing. With this opposition in
