ARRANGE PAVING
PROGRAM MARCH )
Central Bluff Association De-
cides to Invite Owners to
Take Part in Meeting.

Whether the people on the bluff
want paving of a number of streets to
be undertaken this year Will be de-
cided at the next monthly meeting Of
the Central Bluff Improvement asso-
citation. This was decided last night,
when for the second time formal &C
ton was postponed TO get fuller ex-
preston from the people. The next
meeting will be held March ..
Many favor paving now and many do
not. City Engineer Lyle Payton ind
Commissioner Clark G. Anderson were
at the meeting Friday night and OK
planned the advantages of doing large
amount of work at one time, both be-
cause more favorable terms from con-
tractors can be secured and because
when all the streets in a given dis
trict are paved II is much easier TO
keep the surface free from dirt. The
engineer said the paving would prob
ably cost about the same as paving
had cost elsewhere in other years,
which has been from 81 to $3.50 per
running foot.
Il was decided to add several streets
to those already suggested for consid-
Grafton at the next meeting. These
include Seventeenth street from Sew
enteenth 10 Eighteenth-and-one-h
