 Councilman Ashley, of the cOm-
 |, tteo on public works and public property, brought up the matter of . the construction and repair of sidewalks. He said that he would like to get an expression of opinion
 from the rest of the council as to the proper places to commence the work ] There was no question, he said, of |:he necessity of the work being
 done, but there might be as to the ! nest important place to start in
 order to accommodate the greater Imlmber of people. It was his opin- . ion that all work done should be ig a first class manner, and the sidewalks built of uniform width and . ~radc. He thought the initial work 1 should be on State street, as there ] is more travel upon that street than any other, with possibly the eXcep- . tiou of Broadway.
 l Councilman Ashley said he had Hist of the property owners on state . street, which had been prepared by . Town Marshal Page, but that he had Inc, approached any of them yet on . rho sidewalk question for tho req sen that he wanted to get the con- . rurreuce of the council before he . went ahead. He said that he thought .jaaJ a main arterial sidewalk should IL, built at once and that any other work in the line of sidewalks could be dona in sections or in whole as tmfyh. be deemed best when the . work Is ordered.
 By request the committee was . granted further time and instructed . s3 canvas the property owners along the line of the proposed im- . provemeut and see what they are willing to do in the matter.
