AN ORDINANCE COVERING THIS
IMPROVEMENT TO BE INTRO
DUcED MONDAY NIGHT.
This improvement of Bnnswick's
: Principal Business Streets Will Be
Greatest in city's Hlstory-WiII
Not Have Opposition, 1t is Thought.

City council, at an adjourned meet
Mg to be held on Monday night, will
introduce on first reading, and ordi-
rance which will mark one of the
greatest improvements made In Bruins
wick in recent pears. 1t will pro-
vide for the paving with yitrified brick
SI thirteen blocks in the city, cover
ing the principal business section, in
sMdlng the entire wholesale district.
Council met on Wednesday night for
the purpose of considering this ordi-
nance, but the city attorney had not
completed it, and consequently action
was deferred and the meeting adjourn
ed until Monday night. The streets
to. be paved are as follows:
Gloucester, from Newcastle to Bay,
three blocks.
Monk, from Newcastle to the city
dock, four blocks.
Oglethorpe, from Mansfield to F,
three blocks.
Grant, from Oglethorpe to b, three
blocks.
Property Owners Willing.
Council is not to take action on
shis ordinance without due consider
alton. 1t will be remembered that
some weeks ago Alderman Ludwig in
3foduced an ordinance providing for
. the paving of several business blocks,
which was referred to the proper
sommittee. 1t was then decided that
Before taking action the property
owners should be consulted, and. in
order to see whether or not they
were in sympathy with the progress
1--WE move, letters were sent to every
property owner in the district cover
ed, requesting that they reply to coun-
ell and state just what they thought
about the needed improvement. Later
several other blocks were included
and every property in the thir-
teen blocks mentioned abovev have
been given an opportunity to say
whether or not they desire the i'm
Rrovement.
Practically all of the owners have
replied to the letter sent them by
council, and, with commendable en-
terprise, a large majority of them
have expressed themselves as being
thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement and stated that they were
willing to make the improvement. OF
course there are few property own
ers in the district covered who will
necessarilp suffer by the improvement,
but these, too, fully realize that such
an improvement will enhance the
value of their property, and, while it
will work hardship on them to have
the work done, still it will mean much
10 them in the end.
The ordinance will be placed on
its first reading Monday night and
will be read the second and third
time and adopted at the meeting to be
held Monday night 1t is the inten-
soon as possible, and bids for the
work will likely be advertised for next
month.
With the paving of these thirteen
blocks, together with the paving
placed on Newcastle street during the
past few years, practically Bruins
wicks entire business section will be
pavevd with vitrified brick, as a mat
ter of fact the only important two
blocks which will remain unpaved will
be Gloucester street, from Newcastle
to Union, and it is expected that an
ordinance will be passed providing for
the paving of these four blocks be-
fore the end of the year.
