misunderstanding of
Paving Program Cost

An astonishing misunderstanding of what the
actual cost of the proposed paving program will
be has been shown by some of those VINO signed
protests That lack of information was respon-
sible believe for number of the signatures
on the protests
The program provides for a fifty foot paved
roadway anu concrete curbs both sides OF the
streets
The plan was adopted of pro-rating a part of
the cost of paving the long-way frontage OF cor
ner lots among all the lots to the center of the
block Taking a pattern block for example with
a frontage 4f 16 lots a street, lots ] and 10,
being the corner lots with pavement i'll front and
along the Sides would be the most greatly bene-
fitted and would properly pay for portion OF the
side street paving as we'll for the frontage. But
since the other lots in the block also bene-
fitted by the sde-street paving, but in lesser
degree they will pay portion of that cost in pro-
portion to their nearness ITO the corner.
Beginning with Lot l, the corner lot, the cost
could not exceed $11194; lot 2, $1OS.27; lot g.
s1O4 go; lot A. $1OO93 lot 5, $97.26 lot 6, $9359;
lot T. 1892 lot nearest the center OF the DOCK
$S625. Thence continuing through the block to-
ward the corner lot 8, $685. and so on TO lot TO-
1.-THE corner) which would be assessed $111.94
Since the cost would be spread over ten years
in ten equal payments, the costs including IN
terest would average about $12 to SIS per year,
the first year, decreasing toward the end OF tne
period
The Age is going into this matter somewhat III
detail because some persons through mlsrepre-
sentation or mistake have believed that the cosI
of the paving would be 81, 600 for corner lot

other matter affecting our city shoulu De Hee

ARIZONAN HURT
IN AUTO WRECK
EARLY TODAY

Badly cut and bruised and with
possible internal injuries, Abe Silk
hitter, of Phoenix, Arizona, is in
the Las Vegas hospital and sus-
tanning multiple contuSions and
bad scalp wounds. his two compan-
ions are at the HewetSon hospital
as a result of an auto wreck %
miles from here on the Searchlight
Las Vegas road at 600 o'clock
this morning.
The two companions Ralph Gish
of California and a stranger by
the name of Green, were brought
to town sometime later The
Dodge sedan in which they were
riding was travelling at a high
rate of speed according to wit
neSSes who were behind them on
the road, and who, it is said were
commenting on the pace of the
Dodge Suddenly the i'll fated
auto left the road and hurtled
over the grade, overturning three
times.
The group behind the wrecked
car drove up. aided in untangling
the wreckage, left their canteen
and brought Silknitter to Las

Paving to
Proceed

The board of city commissioners
met at o'clock this afternoon to
hear the report of city clerk Scott
and city assessor DeVinney on the
check OF the protest petitions
against the paving program.
The report, read by Mr.. Scott,
showed there are 20,540 feet 'front.'
age within the district; that the
protests represent 8753 1-3 feet
of the total, being 1916 2-3 feet
less than the necessary so per
cent needed to stop the pro-
ceedings.
The board adopted the report
after giving it scrutiny and ex-
amtning the lists.
The protests contained a total
of 227 names, of which 81 were
withdrawn at the time the protests
were presented. OF the 200 names
remaining on the protests, 30 were
found to be of persons not own
ers of property within the district
and not entitled to protest under
the law.
The protest being far short of
the required frontage the logical
conclusion is that the board will
proceed to carry out their policy
of street Improvement by final pas
sage of the ordinance at the reg
ular meeting next Thursday.
