SOUTH STREET TO Be PAVED
Plans and Specifications Approved,
and Declaratory Resolution
Passed Setting May Is, AS
Date for demonstrating.

The City Council met in regular
session Monday night. the most i'm
pOrtant business done being the or
dering of water pipe to make extei-
sions, and advancing the matter Of
paving South street.
The Water Works Committee
presented the needs of the city re-
garding some needed extensions of
water mains if the property of citi
zens was to be reached by the fire
department in case of fire. 1t was
shown that aside from the extension
asked for by the Commercial club
that the Miehle factory may have
water, there were other points in
the city where water mains were
just as badly needed, and should be
given attention. 1t was shown that
the region of the city lying north of
east Caro- street across the Blam
bridge, and over In what is COM
monlv known as "Johnstown' is
wholly unsupplied. That the region
west of Pearl street was occupied
by many houses which could not be
reached by the present lines eff
fectively, and an extension on
Nursery street was recommended.
Also the territory west of Third
street, along Jefferson, and south of
Jefferson was badly supplied. After
this being shown to the members of
the Council. an order was made en-
powering the Chairman Of the
Water Works committee to 1nter-
mine what was necessary of fittings,
etc., and at once order a quantity of
pipe and fire hydrants to make the
most pressing extensions, and as
possible all of these extensions will
be made.
Also the pipe was ordered bought
to run the water to Oak Hill ceme-
tery. The new waiting room will
be supplied with water, and hy-
drants will be placed in the
grounds, where people may get
water for plants, and for drinking
purposes.
The plans and specifications,
with the profile for the paving of
South street from Walnut street
west to the city limits, was present
ed by the proper committee, and on
resolution the plans were accepted.
The next step was the declaratory
resolution, setting out the necessity
for making this improvement, and
setting a time when remonstranee
NAV be made. May 13 was the day
designated, and publication of legal
notice was ordered made. At that
time should there be remonstrancs
against the improvement being made
sufficiently strong, the work will
have to be abandoned. 1t is now
mn to the people along the line to
cav if they want it or not. If they
protest the Council cannot pave it
and If a large percent of the peo'
ple do want it, the work will be
put through.
