That part Of the paving on Twenty
fourth street between Vinton ana
streets is likely to be repaired. 4 not re-
paved, 10 the insistence of the city Of
South Omaha will mean anything. The
street is badly in need Of repair and IS
dangerous, owing to the congestion Of
street car traffic at Twenty-fourth and
Vinton streets.
Neighbors In the vicinity Of Twenty
fourth and A streets have lodged COM
plant with Mayor Hoctor against the
street car company's neglect to clean up
it's tracks after repairing them. The
South Omaha people say the street car
company paved its tracks between
Twenty-fourth and Ninton and that
other public work was done on the streets
by the electric light company. At the end
of the work the street is said to have
been cleaned up as far as tho South
Omaha line on the north, which is the
south line OF Omaha. This caused great
annoyance to South Omaha people living
near Twenty-fourh and \ streets.
Mayor Hoctor said the matter would
be remedied at once. II we cannot get
that section of the street repaired we will
have to relay the present pavement, and
will see that the street IS cleaned by the
rarties responsible for the dirt
