peared before the city commission

work be done on streets in that sec

ing the entire eastern part of ROsscr

eled.
The committee had previously APP
peared before the commissioners re-
garding this project and the city en-
gineer had been instructed to make
an estimate OF the cost Of this work.
His estimate was read last night. in
which he placed the cost Of grading,
curb and gutter, and graveling with
six inches Of gravel Of SIT per year
over q 10-year period for each so
foot lot. For grading, curb and gut
ter, and paving instead Of graveling.
he placed the cost of $40 per year
over a 2O-year period for each so
foot lot. These figures, the report
said, were based on improvement
warrants bearing interest at six per
cent. If the graveling was done, the
city engineer said it would not be
economical unless the streets were
first graded and curbed with CON
crete gutter on the side of the curb
