TURN DOWN PETITION
ASKING FOR PAVING
OF RICHMOND AVENUE

Forty-five of the seventy-nine resi-
dent property owners of Richmond
avenue, between the Doran bridge and
West Fifth street. today filed remon-
STRANGE against the resolution for the
paving of that section of the street.
The board referred the question to the
city council, which will also have to
decide on the paving of Fort Wayne
avenue from Main to North d streets.
Recently petition, signed by more
residents of Richmond avenue, than
those who signed the remonstrance
submitted today, asked for the paving
of that street from West Fifth street
to West Seventh street. All the sign
ers of this petition resided east of
West Fifth street on Richmond ave-
nue.. The apparent purpose of this
petition was to force an unwelcome
improvement on the property owners
living west of West Fifth street.
The board promptly turned this
petition down, pointing out that be-
cause assessments had been made less
than five years ago for street i'm
Erovement on Richmond avenue, be-
tween West Fifth and Seventh streets,
the board could not legally require
those two blocks paved at this time
Richmond avenue people living east or
West Fifth street then decided to pro-
test against the paving of their part of
the street.
The board today confirmed the reso-
luton for the paving of South Ninth
street from Main to South A streets.
The city agrees to contribute 80 cents
per square yard, exclusive of inter-
sections, for the making of this i'm
prOYement.
