Fairbury Considers
Program Of Paving

Fairbury, Neb., April l3.-(Spe-
cial.)-Fairbury is again discussing
paving and it is likely that some
work will be done this summer. Two
years ago paving districts were
formed covering nearly all the resi-
dence sections, but on account Of
the financial crash the city council
postponed actual work, although
bonds to cover all the necessary city
expenses were voted and full au-
thority given the council to proceed.
An expression OF opinion was taken
at a meeting Of the Chamber Of COM
lnerce and some favored waiting to
see if costs are not to make further
drop. Mayor Moon claims that a
contract can be let now that will give
the city the benefit Of any drop in
costs before the work IS finished, cs-
pecially in lowered freight rates. Sem
timent Is strong for paving the alleys
in the business district Immediately,
regardless of costs.
