street improvements to be done
here next season will not be con-
fined to the contemplated new dis
trict in the southeastern part of
the city, as still another district
is likely to be formed in the
western part of the city. This
district, as planned, will take in
Main street from where the ma
lcadam ends, at Eleventh street,
to the west side of Twentieth
street, down Twentieth street two
blocks to Idaho avenue and west
on Idaho avenue to the city linz
its, connecting with the county
road which leads west from the
city.
The property owners on these
streets are enthusiastically in
favor of the Improvement. A
meeting was held last evening at
the residence of John Powell in
the Government TOwnsite, at
which large majority of the res
idcnt property owners were pres
ent. Those present were unan-
imously in favor of the improve
ments and formed a permanent
organization to promote and push
the matter. J. II. Neil was chos-
en- permanent chairman and Ar
thur HillhOuse secretary.
Those present all recognized
ire need of permanent improve
ment on the streets mentioned.
AS was stated at the meeting these
are the most important thorough
fares in the city. They are the
ores by which all of the farmers
west of the city come in and yet
that part of Main street between
, Eleventh street and the brick
yard is probably the worst stretch
If street that can be found in the
county.
The question of the kind Of i'm
? provements to be made was dis
4 sussed at length and those pres
snt were unanimous in deciding
hat the streets mentioned should

liminary steps, pass the neces.

work can be done early and th'
street have time to settle before
q the fall rains start.
