MAYOR SUGGESTS PLAN
FOR PAVING STREETS
CHARTER COMMISSION ASKED
To PROVIDE FOR IMPROVE
MENT DISTRICTS.
Would Then Re Possible for People
Along Any One ar Two Streets
to Form District for
Paving

The Christmas spirit that Is
abroad in the land this week pre-
vented full attendance at the
Charter commission meeting last
night. but those present enjoyed a
round table talk with reference to
the proposed charter. Mayor T.. b.
Prince and Collector Carroll Todd
were before the commission by in
yitation and Mayor Prince suggest
ed matter that Is of vital import
ance to the city He proposed that.
If same may be legally arranged. a
provision be made in charter al
lowing the formation OF improve
ment districts in the city for the
purpose of voting bonds with which
TO pave the streets. He pointed
out that residents of many Of the
principal streets Of Waxahachie
would welcome a plan under which
it would be possible to pave their
streets. Under this plan it would
be possible to vote bonds and pro-
cure the money with which the city
could take advantage of the close
cash prices for paving and put down
many miles of paving.
With regard to the cost Of paw
ing. Mayor Prince said it would
likely be possible to get contract
as low as s1.35 per square yard.
whereas credit paving has cost as
much as $3.50 per yard. This %
cents on the square yard would
mean a great big saving to the
property owners and at the same
time would enable them to pave the
streets quickly. Twenty-year bonds
could be voted that would give the
people an opportunity to pay for
their paving in installments.
That paving the streets greatly
enhances the value of the property
is not disputed by any one, but the
trouble has always been to get the
property owners to dig up" the
cash with which to do the work
Under the plan it would be possible
TO pave the streets wherever the
people were agreed.

ing diligently to frame charter
