they have framed for this year, but the protests
of the affected property owners must not be
needed to the exclusion of the city's best inter-
ests. In fact, both board and council In consid-
ering remonstrances against proposed street I'm
provements should be governed almost exclusive
~ by the interest of the city as whole in these
improvements.
If, in the boards opinion, proper maintenance
Of the streets listed for permanent Improvement
requires that they be paved, then the board
should stand squarely by it's guns for such i'm
provements. If the proposed improvements are
demonstrated out of it's jurisdiction the board
should have no hesitancy in ordering the i'm
provements taken before council for final de-
cision. Council in turn should consider the inn
provements from the same broad viewpoint, and
n1anded the paving Of the streets In question it
should order them paved. 49,
With the possible exception of North Six
tenth street the Palladium believes that the per-
manent street improvements contemplated by
the board and council should have been made sew
eral years ago because these streets all in the
central business district of the city. To continue
the policy Of keeping them in repair by macadana-
izng them is an indefensible waste of public
funds.
With labor plentiful and the cost Of materials
at the lowest rates in years the Palladium be-
lieves that there is no time like the present to
provide the contemplated improvements.
The Palladium has no intention Of urging a
policy which would work hardships on property
owners, but it does not believe the improvements
contemplated by the city government will impose
hardships. It is safe to predict that year after
they have been provided none will value them
more highly nor will be more pleased that they
have been provided than the property owners
assessed for them

Pave the Streetsl

Under tho laws Of tho state there is but one
way . city can provide permanently improved
streets, pro-rating the cost Of each street i'm
provemsnt between the city and the abutting
property owners.
For some unexplainable reason the average
property owner can be depended upon to vigor-
ously oppose any public improvement effecting
him. no matter how much the improvement in
question enhances the value of his property He
would not hesitate to invest 500 in improving
his house or barn, but II he is asked to contrib
ute the same amount toward paving the street
on which his home is located he is more apt than
not to call down all the curses of high heaven
upon the city government which proposes the
'iniquity," suggesting that another street on
which he owns no property is much more in need
Of paving In other words, if the average prop
erty owner had his way on public improvements
We would still have corduroy roads and sewer
systems would be merely dreams Of theorists.
This Is . human element the board of public
works and the city council must anticipate in
putting through the public Improvement policy
