NEW CASTLE, Del, Jan. I3.-
Apropos of the street paving cam
paign which is being waged In some
quarters & has been suggested that
Delaware street from Sixth street
west be considered as q likely street
10 improve inasmuch as the new ar
mory is to be erected I'm the block
Just west OF Sixth street This, It Is
said, viii cost $4,000. an additional
$4,000 having been added to the
original appropriation of $4,000. In
addition to this proposed building a
well informed property owner SAID
today that property on that particu-
lar block. exclusive Of the proposed
armory. was valued at S32OOO, and he
thought the residents on that Dlock
we're entitled to have the paving OF
Delaware street extended. especially
as the street cutters are In place now.
He called "a ention to the fact that
$50 men pass along this street morn
ing and night on their way 10 and
from work and that more teams and
automobiles use this street than
Fourth street by far. He ended his
argument with the suggestion that
assessed valuations on Fourth street
from Delaware to Harmony streets be
looked up To see how they compare
with the assessed valuations on the
short block lust west of Sixth street
on Delaware street.
