| ten years, is obtained by the in is
suing paving certificates to the
paving company. These certificates
are in odd amounts. corresponding
to the sum assessed against the in
diyidual property owner, and for
that reason are not easily marketed
TO bond companies.
So the city also issues paving
bonds in amounts of $500 each.
These are exchanged to the paving
company for the certificates. The
lpaying company gets money by
sale Of the bonds The city then
collects from the property owners
on the certificates, and all money
collected in this manner is put into
Il paving fund which is used to re-
tire the paving bonds and to meet
the interest payments on them.
While the paving of West Tijeras
avenue met with considerable OBJ
position, after the contract had been
let, and brought a suit for iniunC-
ton by some property owners on
the street, it now appears that the
work will be practically competed
before the suit Is heard. The suit
was filed several weeks ago, but
the city was given Il time in which
to file answer, and this time had
not yet expired.
In contrast to the action for in
junction, Frank Stortz, 715 West
Gold avenue, appeared before the
commissioners last night and asked
that some action be taken to pave
Cold avenue from Sixth street to
Ninth street. This street was in
cludcd in the paving project
adopted early in the fail but which
has not been followed up with the
execution of West Tijeras avenue.
At the time of the protest meetings,
only one property owner on this
section of West Gold avenue OBJ
jectcd to paving.
However, as it was believed that
only small amount of paving
work be undertaken because OF
the ncarnesS of winter, and because
WoSt TiieraS was considered to he
deserving og first attention, the
Nolk OF West Gold avenue and
seventy other blocks in the city
was postponed.
Mr.. Stortz suggested to the COM
missiOnors that the, black base"
type of paving, which he said. he
understood could be laid in Nhe
winter as we'll as in the summer,
and which costs only 1897 yard,
be given a test on West Gold ave-
nue..
The commission advised him that
they would gladly take this action
If it is apparent that the property
owners affected desire it, Mr..
Stortz said that he would take the
matter up with some of the other
property owners on the street with
view of probably presenting a pc
tition to future meeting Of the
commission
