HIGHWAY AFFAIRS
Improvement of City Streets to Come
 Up Again
Council Will Probably Call Special City
 Meeting

At the regular meeting of the con- mon council next Tuesday evening the matter of appropriating money for the repair of certain sections of city streets will come up for consideration and 1t is anticipated that the council will authorize the calling of a special city meeting to see if the city will ap. propfiate the isum of SS0o0 for laying amicile roadway on the following streets and parts of'streets:
 Union Square to connect with the amicite which now extends to Union street, Union street, Elm street from the end of the amicite at May street north to Providence street, and on Providence street from the railroad bridge to Marshal street.
 A petition from residents of the north end of the city asking that improve ments be made in that section, which includes Providence street, will be pre- sented to the council. It has been carefully figured out that if the pro. posed improvements are made it will save the city Sl5OU year in the up- keep of streets and the streets will be better. Instead of an appropriation of S45O0 for the highway department only 5000 will be necessary if the improve ments are made.
 aspeeial city meeting held some months ago to see if the city would improve Union Square and Union street the appropriation was voted down. Nearly all of the residents of the north end of the city voted against the appropriation. It seemed to be the feeling at that time that if another meeting was called and appropriation asked for which would include u im- provement of Providence street the money would be voted.
