r1enr MAIN srREEr PAVING.
Citizens Petitioned.--Comcil Passed
observation-disclosures Asking With
drawals from Petition and Formal
Protest is Being Filed.

From present indications those cit
fzens favoring the paving of Main
street from Fifth to Seventeenth av-
enues, and the city council. will not
find the task bed of roses, for al
ready the anti-paving sentiment is
beginning to crystallize, and there is
little doubt that formal protest will
be filed during the fifteen days fol-
lowing the last publication of Resolu-
tion No. 161. now running.
A number of citizens, whom It is
believed own a majority of the prop
erty by area fronting the street, fill
ed with the council petition asking
for the Improvement OF the street by
paving. and the city council at an
adjourned meeting Tuesday OF this
week. passed Resolution No. 161 de-
claring the intention to pave Main
street and ordering the city engineer
10 prepare plans and specifications.
The resolution is. being published for
six days in the Democrat, after which
those opposing the paving have fif-
4 teen days in which to protest.
1t appears that some of those pc
titioning for the paving did so with
the understanding that it was to cost
them $500 per front foot, and fol-
lowing the presentation of the petit
tion to the council, some of them got
the idea that It would cost about
twice that much and as result an
other petition was presented asking
that the names Of the signers be
Withdrawn from any former petition
in favor of paving.
OF those signing the petition for
the paving, only two names appear
on the petition against it. viz: A. G.
Risner and B. G.. Brown.
Persons interested in the. paving
of the street are positive in their be-
lief that the paving enthusiasts have
more than a majority Of the prop
erty on the street. that will favor the
improvement at all odds. Persons
opposed to improvements are like
wise positive in their belief that
there are enough of them to knock 1t
out. and there you are. 1t remains
to be seen, when the protests are
formally filed and the total property
owned by the protestants IS figured
Up.
As a general proposition one of the
first necessities to the building OF a
real live American city is paved
streets. and this paper believes that
the streets of this city should be paw
ed, especially those streets which are
heavily travelled as is Main street.
The law, however, gives the major.
ity of the property owners the pow
er to pave or not pave, and most all
fair minded citizens are willing to
abide by the decision of the majority.

If all the dogs in Oklahoma were

then could be unmuzzled without
