 Favors Permanent Paving ! In reporting tho resolutions passed by the Bristol real estate board at the special meeting held Monday afternoon one important vote was omitted from the report Of the meeting. This refers to per mancnt paving and Is most i'm portant subject,
 ilt l'tliblN NNl' VI Nll' pIililpl that some definite action was needed 10 secure tho construction of certain amount of permanent
 pavement each year, in this mat ter helping 10 reduce the ever
 growing costs of street repairs.
 Under the present plan certain
 portions of the paving is charged 10 property. owners and tho trouble
 has been 10 find streets to pav.
 under the charter provisions where
 abutting property owners would not object 10 the assessment, As q , result considerable permanent pay
 ing has gone by the boards. The realtors feel that permanon, paving should be constructed every : year and as all taxpayers use thD
 roads that the paving should be Il
 regular city expense and not chargeablo to the abutting property l owners. In this way every year 7 would see q certain amount in. . stalled and in time the vast cX pense Of the present street repairS
 would he reduced.
 { The resolution passed on th' n matter is as follows:
 Resolved, that the Bristol req [, estate board urge the city counci
 O adopt as permanent policy tn
 installation of a certain amount 0 If permanent paving each year, thi h to be paid out of the general cit, s fund and that no assessment b e made for this paving, and that in ,c policy heretofore in vogue of as r. sossnE the abutting property own I, CTS be abolished"
