SECOND STREET OR NOTHING
SAYS COUNCILMAN HERMAN
A. e. Gay, A. P. Augustine and Others
Object and Psenieka and q Few
Want It-Herman Thinks That the
Third Ward Needs Paving Moro
Than Others.

AS the result of protest filed
against the paving proposed on South
Second street, and the refusal of Coun-
Gilman Herman TO Vote for any new
paving unless these two blocks were
included, the final ordering of the new
district OF paving was postponed until
an adjourned meeting next Monday
The district proposed was to have in
cluded approximately nine blocks of
concrete paving.
Objection was made by ". E Leech
and A. L. Clark TO the paving proposed
on Park street between Third and
Fourth streets and by Mrs. C. S.
Carothers to the paving proposed on
Fremont between Fourth and Third
streets,-and then {. written objection to
the paving proposed on South Second
street, from Church TO Boone streets.
was filed, signed By the owners of all
the lots except six, one of the six be-
ing 4 nonresident. Theodore Sieg. the
Baptist church and W. H. White be-
ing the only three lot owners in one
block, and Anthony Psenicka and e
kunkle being the only ones in the 9TH
er block who did not sign in objection
to the paving.
The petition OF objection had been
circulated by a. E. Gay and A P. Au-
gustine and contained the names be-
sides their own of Nora Field, Nellie
and Blanche Kuhns. Anna Wiltsey, w
4. Savage, Sarah E. Ford. j. H. Bond,

Wilson and j. A. Pegg.
Councilman Lamb mad Mayor Jones
expressed themselves as being in favor
Of giving paving TO those who wanted
it, as there was already on file a petit
ton for paving on North Second street
from Lincoln north to the end Of the
street signed by rwo-thirds Of the lot
frontage, the owners of which wanted
the paving. Councilman Herman,
however. objected to putting alb Of the
paving IN the Second ward and said
that the Third ward needed paving
more. He said that if people would
object to paving at s1.0s per yard they
would object to it at % cents per yard
and he believed that many Of the prop
erty owners did not understand that
this paving would cost only about SIS
per annum per lot with the first as
sessment payable not before next
spring.
Mr.. Gay" said Herman, fought the
paving in the other ward and if we
wait until men like Gay and Augustine
want it we will wait fifty years"
He then announced that unless these
two blocks were included he would
vote against all of the paving which
would kill it because it would require
unanimous vote to order paving in the
absence Of the consent of the owners
of majority of the frontage.
The mayor and Councilman Lamb
were willing to cut out these two
blocks because they did not connect up
any paving already laid. and would
leave a dead end, but it was finally
voted TO defer the matter until the next
meeting.
At the councils request PROPOSE
ton was submitted by D. W. Norris.
Jr as to a settlement Of the assess
ment for paving proposed upon North
Fifth street. which was received and
put on file to be acted upon at another
meeting. This paving had been includ-
ed in the district paved last year but
owing to the fact that the corner lot
at Jerome and Fifth has an unusual
depth the council feared that an extra
ordinary portion Of the expense would
fall upon the city and the paving was
stopped at a point north Of Jerome
street. If an agreement can be made
with the property owner which is sat
is factory TO the council this paving
will be included in the present district
as proposed.
