IMPROVEMENTS
IN SOUTHEAST
CASPER SEEN
Residents Of Three Add
lions Discuss Plans in
Open Meeting.

A meeting of vital Importance TO
the residents of Kenwood. Casper
View. and Sheridan Heights addition
was held last evening in the church
building on South Jackson street.
Two hundred property owners gath.
cred Mt the suggestion of Ben
Scherck of the See Ben Realty cNni-
pany, who was one Of the men who
first sold lots in the Kenwood adj.
ton, and who was the owner of the
Casper View addition. The purpose
of h meeting was the discussin of
improvements TO be made in these
three additions during the coming
year.
Mr.. scherck. who was well known
TO all those present. opened the meet
ing and outlined some of the things
which the property owners in these
districts needed and what they were
entitled TO.
1t was brought out at this meeting
that these districts had paid taxes on
the greater portion OF the same. and
had paid city taxes since 1919 and up
until 1922. but a small portion had
anything other than water and tAnt
none of this district as yet had sew
ers. grading. sidewalks or street
lights. and that the greater part of
it was half n mile from school. Mr.,
Scherck stated that something In thu
way OF a sub station Of the p~ostoffics
was needed also.
The meeting was thrown open for
general discussion and n petition was
signed by all present TO ask the city
council to create a grading district of
Sheridan Heights and Kenwood nddi-
tons and a sewer district to include
Casper View addition. The petition
has drawn up requests that two streets
from Second venue south TO Fiji
teenth and east into Casper View be
graveled. 1t also suggests that these
streets might be oiled to bind the
gravel.
Street lights, gas and water. where
not already in. are asked for. y
school is mentioned and a very good
site is suggested on land owned by
the city at Twelfth and Conwell
square.
II these improvements r given
these districts. the value of each dis.
1rict will be much increased.
