TO Get First-Hand information
on Paving Matters

AT an important meeting of the paw
ing commissioners held last night in
the Office of Chairman Z. r. Horton
q number of matters pertaining TO
the issuance of bonds not exceeding
100000 for street paving and plans
for the improving OF the streets were
discussed.
The meeting was mire in the nature
of preliminary discussion of several
important matters that will have to
be decided upon before steps actual
ly connected with the paving are
taken. One of the matters considered
by the board was that of employing
an expert consulting engineer, man
who Is thoroughly familiar with paw
ing matters and who has had years
of experience, TO represent the city
and see that the paving contractors
come UP to the letter of their contract
with the city. The commission is of
the opinion that IL would be folly to
attempt to lay pavings In Anderson
without the advice of a competent en-
gineer on paving matters. but took
TO definite steps toward closing, a
deal with an engineer. although Mr..
Gilbert c.. White, an expert engineer
of Charlotte, appeared before them
and made proposition.
Will Investigate.
The commissioners decided tc go to
Greenyille and Spartanburg next Fri
day for the purpose of consulting
persons in those cities who have
charge of street paving in the re-
spective cities. and getting first hand
from them information that will be
invaluable in carrying on the work
here.
As to Bonds
With reference tc the nature OF the
bonds, the commission adopted re-
solution requesting city council to
call for bids on bonds of 80. 40 and
SO years date AID bearing interest
at 4, 1-2 and psr cent
The commission also decided to
give to the Southern Public Utilities
company in regard to their part of the
paving which is to be done.
Petitions In Shape.
The commission Instructed its at
torney. MIR. G.. Cullen Sullivan. to
draw up suitable petitions for proper
! ty owners to use in petitioning the
| commission for street paving These
petitions will be printed Immediately
and will he in the hands OF commits
