PeIla Studying Paving.

| Des Moines, Jan. 6-Thirteen city
officials and business men of Pella,
Iowa, spent yesterday in Des Moines
studying pavements in order to en-
able them to select the best paving
material for the improvement of the
main streets of Pella.
The party was composed of six
councilmen and seven business men.
The councilmen were: Jacob Blend
er, George Verify, T. Plette, John Van
derbloog, William Butts and J. 5.
Wilson. The business men were:
A. T. Kline, William Ronnehorst, M.
Vanderlinden, Murray Cox, Art Van
Rocket and Harry Keables. The
delegation declares the trip is not a
junket at the expense of the Pella
taxpayers. Every man paid his own
expenses. A year ago they visited
Marshalltown and Davenport on the
same mission.
The Pella city council plans to lay
fifteen blocks of pavement, the first
permanent Improvement of streets to
be attempted. Parts of Main, Frank
| lin, Washington and Broadway
streets are to be paved. Next Friday
the council must determine the ma
terial to be used. The contract will
include about $4,000 square yards OF
paving which at the average price
will run the cost of the Improvement
IuD to about 100000.
