FILE OBJECTION
TO new PAVING.
Property Owners Along
East Main Street are not
Ready as Yet
ASK THAT WORK BE
DELAYED ONE YEAR
Demand Treatment Similar
to That Accorded Resi-
dents Of Court.

Objections to paving contemplated
by the city officials continue in evi.
dence. At yesterdays meeting OF that
body, a petition signed by Matt Mier
and others residing In the affected
territory, was presented to the body
asking that the proposed paving on
East Main street between College and
Birch streets be delayed until 1914.
The reasons advanced by the prop
erty owners are based on the alleged
poverty OF the signers. They state that
they are not as we'll fixed, financially,
as the owners on Court street, and
that, since the Court street work Is not
to be done, why should theirs?
The Main street paving is PRACTICAL
" new, they say, and would last for
several years with some repair work.
Also, there Is difference of opinion
among the owners Of the frontage 40
to the kind OF paving that should be
done
II the paving Is postponed until after
January l, 1914, residents of the dis
trict beyond the limit of the paving,
who will be affected by the improve
ment, Will have to pay part OF the
| cost. says the petition Should the
work be done now. the cost falls on
the abutting property owners alone.
After listening to the complaints Of
the petitioners, the council ordered
that the formal application be re-
ceived and placed on file for future
reference. No date was set for pub
lie hearing Of the matter.

be of the temporary kind.
Discussing these orders. City Clerk
Byrne this morning stated that there
is considerable confusion as to the
meaning Of temporary paving and that
Of permanent construction.
"The temporary paving is put on all
streets where the grade has not been
established" said Mr.. Byrne. In q
number of cases It Is planned to raise
Tor lower the street level. Under those
circumstances the city puts in tenn
porary paving. for which they are ac-s
countable and which they must main

cost of the property holders"

The chief difficulty in negotiating
