City Council Ponders
Over Repaving Of
Sixteenth Street

The repaving of Sixteenth street
| is again before the city council, the
difficulty being to decide whether
the repaving shall extend north OF
Victor avenue.
The council, more than a year
ago, passed an ordinance creating a
idistrict on Sixteenth street, from
Douglas street to Victor avenue,
under provisions of a law which au-
thorizes the council to order these
improvements within one mile and
a half from the city hall, without
requiring petitions from property
owners. The old asphalt pavement
extends beyond Victor avenue to
Writ street, and it is the sense of
some of the property owners to re-
pave at least to Writ street.
Another ordinance provides for a
paving district from Victor avenue
to Ames avenue, under the "main
thoroughfare" act, but it is uncer-
tain whether this act applies.
The street railway company has
agreed to move it's tracks from Sew
enteenth to Sixteenth street in con-
nection with the repaving.
This repaving from Douglas to
Writ streets would draw $4,000
from the intersection bond fund,
which is limited to $4,000, with $780,
600 deducted for contracts let last
fall for. work to be started this
spring.
