TO WIDEN STREET PAVEMENT.
COUNCIL ACCEDES TO WISHES OF,
CITIZENS ON WASHINGTON
STREET.
Matter is Being Discussed Much and
Petition for Calhoun Street is Be-
ing Circulated.

City Council at meeting last
night by vote of two to one decided
to accede to the wishes of the resi-
dents on Washington street and widen
the pavement on that street to thirty
feet, thus adding an additional six feet
to the twenty-four feet formerly de-
cided on. The meeting was called on
the presentation of petition from
residents of Washington street near
ly all Of whom has signed the pc.
tition. Mayor Jennings went on rec
ord as opposing the widening Of the
pavement, while Councilmen Booth
and Rowland favored acceding to the
wishes of the citizens on the street
Councilman Booth formerly favored
the paving of this street and other
wide streets for thirty foot drive
way, but had been overruled by coun-
cil
After the vote was taken and May
or Jennings found that the other two
members of council opposed him, he
stated that If part of the street was
widened all of it should be- In pur-
suance Of this 1t was decided to push
back the curbing already laid yester-
day on Washington street on one
block, between Liberty and Hampton
Avenue, to a width in line with the
rest of the street. The decision to
widen the street referred to Wash
ingtOn street between Liberty street
and Broad street, as this has been the
only part Of the street which council
has heretofore put on the tentative
paving schedule. h
1t is suggested by one citizen that
the streets around the school green
should be just as wide as possible, as
many public meetings are held on
these grounds and will be held in the
school auditorium in future and on
these occasions many vehicles will be
parked about the square and there
ought t. be plenty of width on the
streets on this square for safety and
convenience.
A petition in reference to Calhoun
street is being circulated and it is
probable that Council will hold a
Injecting to consider this petition be-
fore work progresses on this street
Many o. the residents on the street
| favor widening it to- thirty feet or
more.
I 1t has been suggested by another
CT taen that plan be devised by the
city engineer or some one capable sof
forming such a plan which will decide
on tho width of the pavement on q
street, according to what pavement
will make it most symmetrical. If
this scheme is followed out, he says
the pavement. the parking space and
the sidewalks will all have a proper
tionate space which will give the
street its best appearance. gt
! The matter Of streets and street
paving has received very much at
| tention and discussion of late There
are many who live on narrow streets
who think that the wider streets
should have wider pavcments and
many who think the wider street
pavements should not be made any
wider than the pavoments on the mar
row streets, as the other citizens have
| to pay propOrtionate share of the
cost and it is not fair to make them
pay more for pavemcnts on other
streets than citizens OH the wider
streets pay on their narrow streets.
