VOTERS TO DECIDE
WIDTH OF STREETS
Question of Improvement VIII
Come Up Thru Initiated
Ordinance

An initiated ordinance to establish
the minimum width of the city streets
between the curbs at 40 feet has been
presented to the city commission.
The circulating of the petition ini-
tiating this ordinance will in due time
bring before the voters of the city the
question of whether the residence
streets are to be kept at their present
width of forty feet, or whether they
are to be narrowed to "a or 28 as the
city commission desires and as the
majority of the property owners desire
in each case where the question has so
far come up.
If the majority of Morris citizens
want wide streets. they ought to have
them," said a prominent citizens yes
terday, "but they ought not to decide
for wide streets until they study the
question. I can remember how long
it took US to decide that we ought to
have sewer system here, and every
improvement has always had opposi-
tion at first, and then after it was
made everyone was pleased. The
narrow street is an improvement in
line with what other cities are doing.
The travelled part can be kept up bet
ter and cheaper, and the part that is
not travelled is in grassy boulevard
instead of a weedy street."
