PAVING DISTRICT
 NOW ORGANIZED
oo,,Ncu PASSES ORDINANCE CREATING IMPROVEMENT DIS rRIcT EMBRACING. ALL TER RyTORY IN THE CITY.

At an auJouiHeo hi0S'S va city council on Tuesday night of thls .noak an ordinance was passed creat- no all the. territory within the linn its of Marianna into an improvement a;striet for the purpose of gradlngv entering, draining, surfacing or
 ,,;no the most of the streets in the :.,, not now paved. The ordinance 'ras nassed upon a regular petition ':anod bv twenty owners of real asonertv s,s in the city. This is what ]. called the initial ordinance incl dent to carrying out the improve ment Under the law regulating the formation of improvement districts second petition must now be pre- santed to the property owners for ,ber signatures. This petition must tive the estimated cost of the contem- pated improvement, the assessed val nation of the real property in the district. and must show that the es- timated cost of the improvement does not exceed twenty per cent of the assessed valuation. Both petitions must designate the streets to be inn proyed. but necessarily the type of having to be put down cannot be designated until after bids have been received.
 The business district now embrac- ed in paving district number one is also included in the new district for the reason the property valuation in the business district is needed in order to enable the district to float enough bonds to improve the streets not now paved. However, the as- sessments of betterments against property in the old district will be on a nominal basis merely to conform to the legal requirements.
 The streets most used will be paved with high type of material, while the less used streets will be improved with paving not as ex- pensive. On some of the outlying streets it is probable the improve ment will consist of draining, gra- ding and making an application of gravel. The purpose, however, is to lift Marianna out of the mud in the winter and to minimize the dust evil in the summer.
