ARE MADE
FOR SIDEWALKS
Kiwanians and City Council Working
en-, Plan Similar to That Used
for Constructing Paving,

The Kiwanans are behind an ex-
tensive sidewalk program. The plan
is to organize sidewalk districts along
\ s ail,r plan to that which has made
paving possible. This would make the
building of sidewalks compulsory on
the streets designated but property
owners could pay for the improve
ment over a period of time and the
expenditure would not be burden
some.
Louis p, j. liasterson is chairman
of committee from the Kiwanis
Club that will work with the City
Council on the matter and something
definite will be announced possibly
after the next meeting of the council.
If the present sidewalk plan is car
ried through Clovis will have no

MORE STREETS
MAY Be PAVED
Property Owners Asking for Addi-
tional Paving When Present Con-
tract Has Been Finished.

Clovis has big paving program on
now, but if plans materialize, many
more blocks wRl be added to what has
already been contracted for. Property
owners on several residence streets
have announced their intention OF
wanting paving and the industries
along Hagerman Avenue are particu-
larly anxious for better streets as at
present they are almost impossible
when there are excessive rains. The
next paving will likely be done with
the black base instead of concrete as
it is cheaper and many think better
Paving in front of lot in the resi-
dence district will likely cost in the
neighborhood of $3.50 by using the
black base.
