CITY LIKE CONCRETE STREETS.
Sioux City Has Twenty One Miles Of
Cement Paved Roads.

Sioux City Has Twenty One Miles d
Cement Paved Roads.
Sioux City. Nov. THAT city Off,
Gals are convinced Of the success OF
concrete as pavement is indicated by
the annual paving map. which shows
that twenty-one miles Of that kind of
paving now L. in use in Sioux City. The
map Is being prepared in the office
Of the city engineer and will be ready
for reference when the party Of Chi
cago men come here for an inspection
next week.
The map will show that Sioux City
at the present has nearly forty-five
miles Of paving. scattered over rather
a wide area. In addition to the twen-
ty-one miles Of concrete, there are nine
and q half miles Of asphalt paving,
nine miles Of brick paving. one and a
fraction miles Of wood block paving.
four and a fraction miles Of sarcolithic
paving and about one-twenty-fifth Of q
mile Of sandstone paving.
OF the total amount Of paving, fully
one half has been laid in the last two
years. The outlay has amounted to
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars. with
the property owners paying the cost.
It il estimated that seven miles Of paw
ing-practically Of concrete-has been
added during the past year. Prov'd-
Ing that paving 10 ordered In accord
ance with petitions now being circu-
lated. fully ten miles more Of paved
streets win be added next year. The
average for the past three years has
been seven miles.
The agitation for concrete pavement
was started by Jonathan w. Brown
during his term az councilman. Few
cities had tried It as street surfacing,
and its use here was more or less of
an experiment. It's use has saved
abutting property owners many thou
SANDS Of dollars and Its cheapness is
the cause OF much Of the paving &C
tivity.

and no part Of the money has been
used. A deadlock between officials IL
the cause.
The appropriation appeared as an
item in the appropriation FOR the state
university. Originally 1t was a separate
Dill, which was killed Then the legis-
lature appropriated a nice sum to help
in heading Off epidemics among hogs
and, other animals. Someone In the
legislature thought 1t wouldn't look
we'll to spend so much for animals and
not have n cent available for human
beings in case Of an epidemic. So the
item was slipped In, at the most con-
venlent place, which just then was in
the state university appropriation.
Originally the "epidemiologist." or
specialist to go around and head of
epidemics. was to be a part OF the state
board of health force. 1t was evident
ly In the mind Of the legislators to at
tach him to the germ catching labora
tory at the state university which Is
officially part of the state board OF
health. on the theory there was some
connection between the two. But that
laboratory can not make use Of an
epidemiologist and the state university
really hasn't any 1Ob ne can be set to
working at, and the money Is not in the

Probably 1t will be fixed up that
someone will be appointed who will
work Jointly for the university and

Thursday morning before Justice But

OF Frank A. Belina, who has been
around Dixie some, was charged with
taking an automobile without permits
sion and damaging 1t when 1t turned

claims he did not take the car but that
Leo Miholcke, an employee OF the gar
age, took it and he went along. Mi

being separated by perforated line.
