 PAVING TRACKS
Commission Acts in Grave
 Question Because Com pany Is Unable to Pave and Also Maintain Service

Paving matters occupied the greater
 part of the attention Of the city com mission at it's regular meeting yes- teTday morning. And the greater part of the paving discussed was that which the commission desired the Phoenix Railway company to do along ana between it's tracks on the various streets already paved or to be paved in the near future. Instead of finally deciding that the company must pave on these streets at the same time other paving is being laid, the com mission finally adopted a resolution extending the time in which the rail- way company must pave, excepting only that portion of Monroe street occupied by the company's tracks and where paving has already been laid This means that the railway company may fill in between it's tracks on West washington street, using gravel and crushed rock. The double tracking of
 west Washington street, in an order
 issued by the corporation commission,
 will not be required for several
 months. There will be no paving on
 that street until this double tracking
 is constructed.
 In representing the claim that the company was a this time financially
 unable to bear the expense of eXten-
 sive paving, Manager Mitchell called attention to a superficial audit of the condition of the company made. by City Auditor w. Fl. Plunkett. Com missioner Woods was the only mem Der of the commission finally voting against the extension of time He explained that he desired to be re-
 corded as voting for the resolution
