Plan Of PAVING
FOR LUsITANA

In consideration OF the fact that the
territory is assuming the larger part
OF the cost of improvements on Lu'
sitana street and following a request
from Charles r. Forbes of the public
works department that change in
specification for the street be made,
the board of supervisors voted last
night to rescind the old Lusitana i'm,
provement ordnance
Following the vote, new resolu-
ticn. in accordance with plans of the
public works department, was intro,
dueed and past Under it the territory
assumes 50 per cent of the cost and
the remaining cost is divided about
equally between property owners and
the city and county OF the cost OF
actual work the city and county is sup
posed to pay but 10 per cent but with
the purchase OF land to widen the
street. this expenditure will be in
creased.
The main change in the specifiea-
tons is from bitulithic to Warrenite.
it being maintained that the latter
paving will serve the same purpose as
the former at considerably less cost
to the citizens Of Lusitana street,
most of whom are of limited means.

LarSen'S New Measure Meets
But Little Objection When
Given First Reading

Supervisor Larsen's new "dfmming
ordinance passed its first reading last
night with a smoothness and alacrity
that was good to see after the numer.
Gus delays that had perplexed the su.
peryisor in his effort to pass his for.
mer measure.
For one brief moment il seemed as
IL the new ordinance were going to
meet with rough going. for Supervisor
Homer arose, Directing to the word
reasonable" in clause that provided
for lights OF reasonable brightness.
Stiffness settled down over the meet
ing and Mr.. Larsen groaned audibly
as he rose to explain.
THE word reasonable he said,
SIS part Of the wording of the reg
ular ordinance II has served this
long, and | see no reason why 1t
should not continue to serve. Further.
more that has nothing to do with my
resolution"
This explanation, together with a
statement by Supervisor Arnold that
he thought the new ordinance q good
enc, quieted the chairman OF the po-
lice committee.
AS matter of formal procedure.
the famous .sdimming' ordinance
which had been the pride of Mr.. Lar
sens heart in other days. was tabled.
and a vote was taken which passed
the new ordinance on its first reading.
The only difference between the old
one and the new is that the new law
provides that lights may be dimmed
by the use of frosted globes as well
as by ground glass. In the early days
of the dimming question. Supervisor
Larsen was a stick1er for the first
method only.

ASK owners To- |
BUILD SIDEWALKS
AT own EXPENSE

Al resolution introduced last night
by Supervisor Robert Single Of the
roads committee, provides that work
be at once begun in the laying Of side
walks OF full width on the four sides
OF Central Grammar School square.
The resolution, while finding no dit.
ficuky in passing the board. served as
the starting point for general discus
sion concerning sidewalk lines, and
the laying of them within the fire linn
its. Mr. Single stated that he be-
iieyed II possible to go ahead at once
with d request to citizens within the
fire limit district to lay their side
walks. He said that he believed at
least 9G per cent of such citizens
would respond willingly.
Those who do not thus respond
could be compelled to do 50 as soon
as sidewalks were laid, but ii was Mr..
Shingles idea that the work could be
expedited by issuing such request
at once.
The public press has advocated in
editorials" said Mr.. Shingle, that we
begin at the central parts of the town
and work out. rather than begin work
in some outlying district, and / be-
lieve the press is perfectly right in
the matter. IL we wait to establish
grades in the fire limit district, the
matter must needs suffer months and
months of delay
Mr.. Single said that a resolution
covering the request would be pre-
scented at the next meeting of the
board. A general discussion by the
other supervisors eyinced the fact that
they were willing for him to go ahead
with it.
