PAVING OF West.
CHURCH STREET.
TO TRACKS ASKED
Property Owners Sign
Up And Petition
City Council

A petition from a majority of the
property owners of West Church
street will be presented to the city
council tonight asking that the city
authorize the paving of that street
from Jackson street, where the paw
ing now ends, to the railroad in the
west bottoms, a distance of several
blocks. 1t is said the owners of prac-
tically all of the industrial property
in the vicinity of the tracks have
signed the petition. The city is ask
ed only to authorize the paving in the
usual manner, which means that the
property owners will pay for the ma
terial, the city only to do the grad
ing and laying of it.
On account of several paving pro-
jects having already been authorized
by council, which will have prece-
dence, it is likely that this project
cannot be undertaken before late
this year if at all before 1921, but
it is believed certain that the work.
will be authorized by council. East
Church street and West College
street projects are to follow the pro-
ject on East College street now being
undertaken.
The city police commission will
present to the council tonight recon-
mendation that the police department
be provided with a motorcycle. 1t
is understood that the department de-
sires a motorcycle for assistance in
durbing speeding inside the city.
