City Commissioners
Discuss More Paving

The City Commissioners met last
night and the most important busi-
ness which came before the session
was the discussion of the paving to
be done in Greenwood during the late
Spring and Summer.
No definite action was taken but
the streets to be paved were outlined
and plans formed. Commencing at
Henry & Dewey street five blocks
will probably be paved to Main street.
One book from johnson to Henry on
Main will also probably be in the dis
trict to be paved and Fulton Street
from Henry to Palace. The COM
missioners discussed paving the
streets with mixture of lake asphalt
and gravel. This material can be
purchased at Sill per square yard
and is said to be thoroughly durable.
The matter of passing ordinances
regarding the paving, will possibly
be taken up at the next meeting Of
the commissioners.
