this is very favorable time for them
10 ask that the work be undertaken.
The same thing is true regarding
Jackson street.
When paving work is done in a city
the size Of Pendleton the price per
square yard depends very much up
on the amount Of paving to be done.
The paving company is placed to con-
siderable expense in assembling its
crew and equipment. This expense Is
the same whether the paving district
be large or small. So it goes almost
without saying that when pawn!
district Is large a paving company
will do work at lower price pei
square yard than when the district i
small.
The district ordered paved by tn
council comprises u blocks at th'
present dime. Should West Cour
street be paved the number Of block
in the paving district would b
doubled and the price should be low
cred accordingly. The paving 0
