WANT S5OO.OOO BOND.
issue FOR Streets
Council ApportionS Money
to Wards But Members
Are Dissatisfied
FIGHT OUT THE
QUESTION TONIGHT

City Council at its weekly meeting
tonight in all probability will dis
cuss the advisability of making a
bond issue of $780, 600 for street paw
ing, as agreed upon by the Council
several weeks ago. The plan OF APP
portioning the money to the various
wards, on the basis Of assessed valua-
tion OF real estate I'm the wards. is
opposed by several of the Councilmcn
and at the meeting of the Council
manic body last Thursday night sew
eral Councilmen. declared they we're |
unable to present a list of streets to |
be paved in their wards as they had |
not been allowed enough money.
Councilman McGoldrick. OF the |
Third ward, was one of those whose |
list was not read. He said the paving |
of West Fourth which he included |
in his original list, would require an |
expenditure of $4,000. He said he !
had not been assured that this street !
would be paved. Councilman Haney
also spoke against the proposed dis
bursement of the bond issue, as his
ward, the Tenth. is not allowed suf-
fcient money to do the work required.
As result of the hitch in Council last
week. the Street and Sewer Department
was authorized to prepare a list of
streets TO- be paved from the list that
had been presented to them by the coun
cilmen. This list was made out and
Council, at a committee of the whole =,
last night received it. This list appoi
tions tho improvements according 10 the
assessed valuation of real estate in the
respective wards. The Fifth SEVENTH
and Ninth wards have the largest num-
her of streets on the list.
The First ward is Allotted ten squares, i,
while the Third ward is allowed but
three squares Those who favored the
paving of West Fourth street have urged
that the traction company he made to
move their tracks TO one side, thus al
lowing for the parking of the center OF
the street with grass plots.
