Mayor Now Holds
 Warrenite Is Not
 Permanent Paving

Rowing to pGwerfu1 public senti- ment, formulated and focused by the Farmer, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson has abandoned the purpose to assess resi- dentiaI property for Warrenite pave nent, and has addressed a message to the Common Council, asking it to make no assessments.
 The imm ediate result of this action will be a benefit to property owners on Fairfield avenue and Connecticut avenue, but the precedent will cover all residential streets hereafter paw ed.
 The Farmer has repeatedly shown that there is neither reason nor jus tice in assessing abutting property for pavement, which is put down for the benefit of the whole city and all its traffic.
 The mayor. up to this time, has aban- doned the policy of assessing half the cost of pavement against the abutting property, only so far as the pave ment called Warrenite is concern ed.
 The attempt to pave many residen- tiaI streets with this pavement, on a plan which included the assessment of residences was greeted with storm of indignation and a cyclone of objec- ton, to which Mayor Wilson has now yielded.
 In his message Mayor Wilson says in part:
 ''F'urthermore, the comprehensive plan to improve the condition of our streets, such as the present administration has in mind, as evidenced by the recent public hearings held in reference to the laying of bituminous macadam pavement in different sections of the city, involves the property of many of our small taxpayers to whom a pavement assessment would prove a burden.
 For these two reasons therefore, I believe that bftuminous nacadam con struction which supersedes the old water-bound type, for which no as- sessment has ever been laid in our city, although ample authority there fore exists in our charter, should be laid without expense to abutting prop erty owners. \
 ''I would therefore recommend to your honora b1e body that no assess ment be levied against abutting prop erty owners where biturhinous mac adam pavement is now or may be laid hereafter.''
