Will Not Wait on State.
It is not the present intention to
wait until it is determined what the
state is going TO do about paving its
half Of West Summit street. An esti-
mate Of the costs OF this Improvement
was sent the board of control a few
weeks ago. but nothing has been heard
from it. The appropriation may not
be granted by the state, or the board
OF control may want to lay the pave
ment with state labor or by special
contract. In any event II Is felt the
delay, if the state is waited on longer,
will make the time OF letting the CON
tract too late. AS 1t IS, It will not
now be possible for this council 10 let
