WIDTH OF FIRST St
AGAIN UP IN AIR. ! r
CITY MUST GRADE STREET IF
PAVING Is CENTERED-HEAR-
ING NEXT MONDAY

the question of retaining the original
width Of First street southeast. This
was decided upon by the council at the
regular meeting Monday evening, when
1t was brought out that the property
benefited must bear the cost of grad
ing that street, if it is to be left at its
original width and the trunk highway
paving run in the middle of the street,
whereas, if the paving is placed against
the east side Of the street, the state
will pay for the grading. ~
A resolution was introduced provid-
ing for grading Of that part Of First
street southeast to be paved as a part
of the trunk highway system. The
cost Of same estimated at $4,5O0.Oo,
would be charged to benefited proper
ty except intersections and public prop
erty. No action was taken on the reso-
luton as the aldermen felt that the
property owners did not understand
that there would be this expense in Or
der to leave the street at its original
width. The city clerk was instructed to
notify the property owners, who would
be affected, of hearing on this matter
on February 13.
