evidence enough to the average thinking, law-abiding, decent citizen

ing Speers reign a Is mayor several years ago he spent a mint of mon
ey' out he put Denver On the map, and he took it out of the cross
series and put 1t INTO the city class. just because the

does considerable street grading each year and at a great cost while

REALTY OWNERS ASK
TO PAY .F0R.P !. !. A ! | J;
City is Asked to Lay Con.
crete Road on the East
Side.

James A. Meredith, representing
several petitioners OF the East Side
near the Fair grounds have asked the
city to lay with concrete $500 feet OF
Morgantown avenue from Holly ave.
nue. at the residence of DR.. ]. A. Ora,
ham, to the corporation limits. This
work will cost 81 linear foot and the
Improvement has been approved by all
members Of the city commission.
The street is now densely covered
with traffic most of the time, It being
the road from the city to the Fair
Ground. The part of Morgantown av.
enue from the DR.. Graham residence
to the corporation limits is one of the
very poorest within a radious OF FIVE
miles from the court house. Besides
being full Of deep ruts, It is on a grade
around dangerous curve. The street
really needs some sort Of repair. the
city commissioners think, and 1t is
more than likely that they will ar.
range to provide it's one third of the
cost, which is necessary before the
work can start.
The total cost for the concrete laid
will be $4,000, the price being quot.
ed at So for linear foot for width
OF "a feet.
Property owners along this tract
will be willing, so most Of them have
informed the city, to pay two dollars
for their foot frontage.
