"Yoa bet," answered Trustee
Aiken, with voice Of thunder "All

ing pleasantly.
Cement sidewalks came in for q
share Of the attention Of the trustees
George Eastman and Paddy Gum
announced their intention TO build
cement walks along their block on
Tomichi Avenue, and they wanted to
know what arrangement had been
made by the property owners further
west. Trustee Trine stated that
VIM Strunk intended building walks
in front of his lots east of his busi-
ness place, and Trustee Trine also
stated that the owner of property
west Of him, he believed, would i'm
prove along these lines. He himself,
he stated, WAS willing to pay for the
crossings down as far as the railroad
track.
The matter Of allowing ID. T. Sapp
to build q six foot walk in front Of
bis property on Virginia avenue, just
off Main street, was brought up
again for the steenth time The
ordinance provides that twelve-foot
walks shall be built for one block
each side of Main street. Trustee
Endner favored conceding to Mr.
Sapp, his point, but he was unable
TO convince the trustees of the
wisdom of his counsel. So, as the
matter stands, if Mr.. Sapp builds a
walk, it will have to be twelve feet
wide, or the town authorities will
object. The sons of DIR. Dunkel,
who died recently, will be asked to
improve their lot on the corner Of
Main and Virginia avenue, 30 as to
inspire others in that neighborhood
to similar laudible purpose. 1t is
more than likely that as soon as the
weather favors, much work will be
done in laying cement walks by onr
good citizens, and that very soon
thereafter the la Neta to Normal
walk will he a reality.
