STREETS.

Acts Under Which Petitions are Cir.
culatcd and Providing for Taxation
OF Abutting Property for Payment
OF Costs of Street improvements
Majority of ErcchOldcrs Will Have
to Sign Before Bonds Can be Issued.
The petitions to be circulated
among the ireehOlders of the city of
Sumter ordering an election on the
question of paving streets and side
walks by the issue of bonds by the
city have beeA prepared and will be
circulated about the city in the next
few days. These petitions must be
signed by q majority Of the free
holders Of the city before an election
can be ordered and the question will
have to then be passed on favorablv
by the electors Of the town before
city council has authority to issue
the bonds not to exceed $25O,OOO for
paving streets and sidewalks in the
city. AS the matter has come up in
various ways several times previous
ly and the citizens of Sumter have on
each occasion expressed their approv-
al of the measures and shown their
desire to have the streets paved in
this matter. it is probable that it will
be easy to secure the requisite num-
Der of names of freeholders and that
the voters will approve the measure at
the polls. as they did a year ago
when 1t was voted on in the general
election.
The act under which the petitions
are being circulated is as follows with
amendment relating to Sumter and
Chester:

originally assessed, or, of the last
owner who had his name substituted
as above provided.
Sec. Z. In case of the sale by the
owner of a portion of a lot, against

The government and people of the
United States look to the imperial
