Ed BOARD OF LOCAL IMPROVE
MENTS TODAY.

A resolution calling for re-paving
the north loop" district was adopted
this morning by the Board of Local
improvements and the day for public
hearing set for March 90 at 10 o.
clock.
The resolution provides Tor continu
ing the pavement to the Rock Island
tracks, on Columbus and La Sale
streets The estimated cost will be
$4S $3.50, the court costs will be w.
91492, bringing the total estimated

The pavement, under the resolution
shall be of vtriiied brick with con-
crete base of three inches in thick
ness The resolution was voted on
with favor by three members OF the
board Secretary Farnsw0rth, Com
missioner Campbell and Mayor Brad
ford, Commissioner Helffrich voted
against the proposition and gave his
yreas0ns for so doing.
Commissioner Helffrich contenied
that the resolution should not be
adopted because of the fact that nine
tyfive per cent, of the property own
ers had requested him to stand only
| for a resurfacing job Further, he
said tina, the outlying territory, north
OF the Illinois & Michioan canal ought
Commissioner Hclifrich spoke at
( length on the matter, but realized
that his vote could not change the
action of the board.
4 While he gave his views against
the matter, the other members of
the board were not silent. Mayor
Bradford stated that he believed that
the best possible work should be done
and for that reason he could not favor
a resurfacing job, which might cause
the people to regret in time to come
Commissioner Campbell cited the
East Ottawa job, where a con
crete base was not used and where
property owners were now regrettng
it, and that he believed that the inter
est of the city should be considered as
well as the petition from the property
owners
Engineer Farnsworth stated that 9
concrete job with the vitrified bricl
would prove the cheapest in the long
run
He further showed that the old base
OF the pavement would necessaril,
have to be torn up for the placing o
conduits, an item which was not con
sidered when the first resolution was
