| In connection with the extra amount
of traffic on the North side because of
! the newly opened Garfield amusement
park, the question is often asked:
s'How much paving in the First
ward 2" A sentiment is also develop
| ing for more paving, although after
! the contract was let to pave Curtis
street the residents brought an injunc-
! ton agains THE improvement.
The amount of paving already done
follows:
North Quincy street, from Norris to
| Fairchild street, 8 blocks; North KAN
sas avenue, from Melan bridge to Gar
| field park, 10 blocks; Central avenue,
from Gordon street to Soldier creek,
blocks; North Jackson street, from
| Norris to St. johnnie blocks; Lau-
rent street, from North jackson to
North Quincy, blocks; Gordon street,
from North Jackson to North Kansas
avenue, 1 block. Total 26 blocks.
This leaves North Madison, North
| Monroe, North Van Buren,, North Har-
rison, North Tyler, North Polk and
North Taylor of the streets running
north and south without any paving.
Of the cross streets, only two blocks
! on Laurent and one on Gordon are
paved as mentioned.
! It has often been asked why not
more paving has been done, but per-
haps the answer is that a great many
/ of the people living on the streets men-
| toned are renters and the property
! owners are not disposed to pay the
| extra taxes which would be required
| by the paving.
