WANTS MONEY TO PAVE
STREET INTERSECTIONS

Aid. Littlefeld will introduce reso.
luton. Tuesday night. asking the coun-
ell to ind ways and means OF providing
Tor the paving OF about so street inter.
sections, for which money was not al
lowed by the Board OF Estimates.
ffroller Engle believes the money
may be taken from the contingent
fund, although the corporation coun.
sells ONCE disagrees with him. insist
Ing that, since the item was disallowed
specifically, no other money is avail.
able for the purpose.
Approximately s35000O worth of
paving is being held up as a result of
the failure OF the estimates to allow
the item.
A special meeting OF the board
would not alleviate conditions and. &C.
cording to the corporation council, as
the law provides that the money al.
lowed by the estimates shall be raised
by taxation. Even should a special
meeting be held now Il would be too
late to raise the money In this way.
