No More Temporary
Pavements To Be Laid.

That no more temporary pavements
shall be put down.
To give the council the authority to
assess for sewer and water connections
from the main pipes TO the property
line. This will cause all connections to
be made before a street is paved and
stop the cutting of streets for the lay
ing of such pipes after they have been
paved
Since the campaign began the coun-
ell has authorized the chief OF con-
struction to employ additional free la
Dor and to let grading work by con-
tract. Captain Clayton says this will
insure a great deal more work being
done, for there have not been enough
convicts to do what was expected Of
the camp.
Also the city and county officials
have agreed that there shall be more
cooperation between the city and
county construction departments. The
heads OF these departments will consult
each other once a month on proposed
work, that there may be no more such
conflicts as have caused friction be-
tween the two departments.
