equally between them
Bills Allowed
The monthly grist of bills that

Matter of Improving Roads
Former mayor, E. T. Peck, ad-
dressed the council and urged upon
them the necessity of making de-
cision of what they will do about
paving on West Bridge and North
Main streets, to connect with the
paving or hard surfaced roads that
may possibly, and probably will be
laid by the county. He said he has
talked with the county commission
ers about the matter and they had
assured him that if the council took
prompt action to meet them in one
or both places, they would appor-
tion part of the bond money to ex-
tend hard surfaced road of some
kind to Snake river bridge and pro-
badly another section from North.
Main street past the sugar factory,
but that in the event the council did
not act on the matter, they would not
do anything with the roads approach
ing the town. They did not propose
to put in section of hard surfaced
road for people to travel on and then
dump them onto the unimproved
roads for the rest of the way into
town, or until the spaved section was
reached.
Busy Season for Contractors
Mr.. Masterson, representing the
bithulithic pavement, stated that any
one desiring to contract for hard
surfaced roads for construction >this
year would need to act promptly as
contractors were getting loaded up
and would soon have all they could
handle. Within the next few weeks
all the contractors and engineers will
have their hands full for the sea-
son. He said their company, the
Warren Brothers of Portland, Ore,
have contracts for ninety-two miles
in Oregon, $1,000 yards at st.
Anthony and contracts are about to
be let for 100000 yards at Idaho
Falls, 10000 yards at Dillon and
10000 yards at Butte, with many
other places in the market for con-
tract work.
w. F. Bergman asked the council
to have the engineer give them lines
for cement walks as soon as pos
sible ,on the east side Of block 50.
