A meeting of the city council will
be held next week at which time the
date for accepting bids will be receiv-
ed. With the 40 blocks that are pro-
posed in addition to the % blocks
contracted for last year. Audubon
will have 6S blocks of paving.
Another great improvement to the
town will be the erection of con-
crete bridge over the creek near the
canning factory. The paving will
connect with the bridge and on the.
completion of the improvements,
that part of town will be materially
improved. The street is one of the.
main travelled thoroughfares leading
into the city and good bridge at this
point has been a necessity for years.
The city council has had many ser
ious problems to contend with during
the past few months, and their action
in the matter of paving should be-
upheld by every good citizen of the
town. Not single member of the
council would attempt to work a
hardship on citizen of the town.
but when public improvements are
demanded there are always a few in
dividuals who are burdened with ad-
dtional taxation. This of course
cannot entirely be avoided and the
city council has endeavored to serve
the people so that the greatest num-
