AUDITING PAVING
LAW AGAIN IS URGED
Subject Will Come Up To-
night at Meeting of
Property Owners
SIMILAR BILL WAS
OPPOSED YEARS AGO

A meeting for the discussion Of
some reasonable way IN which
the city streets may be paved
without taxing one section OF the
city higher than another and also
without the necessity OF issuing bonds
for the purpose, will be be held tonight
in the office of Mayor James +. Price.
Many Of the city officials will be pres
ent and IL is expected that William
p Bancroft, who has given the prob
lem much attention, will present
way IN which the matter may be ad
yanced satisfactorily 10 all.
Brokers familiar with the financial
status of the city and its present bond
issues declare that It would be next
10 impossible to float another bond
issue at this time, for the city has
about reached its limit.
Years ago an effort was made TO
pass an abutting property law but
West Fourth street res. dents objected
to being compelled to pay for the cost
of paving such wide street where.
as other property owners had only to
pave a street half the width
The main ground for another OBJ
lection to the forms of this law, as al
ready suggested, has been that while
the streets already paved have been
paid for from the common fund, the
now nqN ing would have to be paid for
out of the pockets of the property
owners. while all the people of the
city had a common use of the streets.
1t is understood that tentative plans
for new manner of assessing prop
erty owners is being arranged and
will be discussed at the meeting this
evening This plan as far as could
be ascertained. stipulates that where
the streets have already been paved
ouf of the common fund for this pur.
pose. then those who own property
on such streets shall pay for the paw
ne already done Where new paving
is to be done the owners of the prop.
critics along the street will pay for it,
But in no case shall the owners be
| forced to pay for more paving than
tho width of an average street in the
city. In this way the objection con.
/ corning the W 9TH of West Fourth
J street which caused the old law to be
repealed, will be dore away with.
AS IS the case in all such bills in
other cities il would provide than am.
pie time would be allowed the owners
In which to pay for the streets. and
! IN each case the sum paid would be
small The price to be paid for the
paving as a whole would be set by the
/ Street and Sewer Department, but the
actual assessment would be done by
Board Of Assessment. Where
there are car tracks or other munich
pal corporations who do their own
paving, this would be deducted from
the total cost, and allowance would
be made in event of q street wider
than usual.
In all probability this is the bill
that will be discussed at the meeting
tonight, and in time no doubt will be
presented to the General Assembly. Il
such a bill is not passed, it is main
aimed then It viii be necessary "a
pass some other bill 10 remedy exist
| Ag circumstances, if Wilmington is
to have its paving done and if it is
to be paid for in an equitable manner
