The meeting of the council very
shortly after 1t went in session start
ed on the work of reading the petit
tions. In all there were II persons
who entered protests. In a few of
the cases where there was an agent

the validity of the protest, those pc
titions were set aside and the coun-
ell came to an understanding on these
when all the rest of the petitions
had been disposed of
The district which had been set
aside as the PRAYING district totaled
S36,3S2 square feet. Two-thirds or
IS per cent OF this amounted to $751;
SIS square feet. Out of the total
amount to be paved protests came in
for 53S,245 square feet or 64.35 per
cent.

been pushing the paving. stated that
unless there was a majority OF the
property in favor OF the paw
ing, that organization did not wish

Persons who were against the paw
ing made talks before the council
