QUESTION IS
LIABLE TO Be
REOPENEO
Property Owners in Protest
Against Councils Action
as to Material.

There is Il possibility that the paw
ing question will be brought before
the city council again in view Of the
fact that there is an almost unani-
NOUS movement among the property
owners on DeMers avenue. from Fifth
street to the Northern Pacific tracks,
against the plan of paving awarded
by the council last week.
That the pavement of the street
with concrete base. sandstone cement
filled. will bring the cost of the work
up to "A figure where 1t Is confiscatory,
is the plea of the property owners,
and they will very likely ask the
council to rescind its former action
and allow the contract in accordance
with the request of tho citizens com
mittee. The pavement recommended
al concrete from Fifth street to the
tracks.
Mayor j. j. O'Leary's-e opinion or
the question probably will be forth
coming at the meeting also.
He is in a position to veto the res
olution that was passed by tho coun-
Gil awarding the contract, or he can
disapprovc Of the contract. Either
action would reopen the entire paw
ing question again.
The property owners will cite to
the council an instance Wherein. dur
ing the last few weeks. lots have been
sold for 1925, while the pavement
would cost $500.
