PAVING PROGRAM
!. FAVORED BY MANY
Public Hearing Drew Large Crowd
to City Hall Last
Night

The council chambers and firemens
room at the City Hall was filled to the
doors last night by people interested
in the public hearing on the paving
question. The sentiment in favor of
paving seemed to be in the air, and
many of those who came with the IN
tention of protesting changed their
minds and acquiesced in the program.
''M my neighbors want to pave I do
not want to block it, was the way
they said it. The property owners Of
the downtown district present were
nearly unanimous in favor of the i'm
provement and many of the heavy
taxpayers were not represented at the
meeting, which would indicate that
they realize that the improvement
must come and they would not pro-
test. In the residence districts, es-
pecially in First ward, there was de-
cided Objection, from small home
owners who felt that the burden will
be heavy upon them, but even among
them some went on record as being
favorable The Great Northern, rep
resented by the division superdntend-
ent, went on record as opposing the
Improvement at this time owing to
the financial stringency.
OF the two hundred sixty-six names
of owners of parcels of land read off
last night, 102 went on record as fav-
oring paving, 46 as against and 11S
did not respond.
At the close of the public hearing
the council on motion postponed fur
ther action until next regular meet
ing, June 13. In the meantime the
city engineer, J. A. Rowat, was in
structed to prepare tentative plans
for all preliminary work to be done
on water connections and sewers be-
fore paving can be done, such plans
to be submitted at next meeting.
