Ia. efficacy OF the plan, but few arc
Ic,rosng the bill,
n Salt Lake, whore the streets are
much wider than in other cities, the
"A Of paving street intersections is very

an put ,ne down as very much IN fa-
n- Of the Intersection bin. Any other

se-a-No. ] think the property owners
ave all they can do 10 take care Of
u. paving and improving Of their
acn,sse or course the value OF their
,'opsrty Is Increased, but as far as tho
\ is.1 good derived from the paving the
rnsl OF II goes to other people who
Usually uso the street. I believe the
upense OF improving the intersections
lauld be borne by the city, in fact
cs entire paving is FOR the general
kns6t OF the public and I can see no
,hclld not be charged TO the general
irri.

e.rsonally ] am very much IN favor OF
o, bN il seems the only means by
yhich much of tho desired and needed
l1provements can be made without
psst delay. Many requests for paving
rt being received by the city commits
son which they cannot sl'ant for lack
funds. The people will have to pay
hr ;hc Improvements and If not by di-
nj tax It VIII be by an increase in
as tax levy and then the paving Will
kisly DC done in some part of the city
