". "A. Project To
Improve Streets
Property Owners To
Decide On Oiling
And Grdvelinq

Mayor w. A. Ransier an
nounced recently that a WPA
project which includes improve
ment of Hardin streets had
been approved by the federal
government. The matter is now
up to the property owners, he
said.
Mayor Ransier explained that
the city would be obliged to pay
$26,980 dollars out Of a total
cost of $103,7 TOT. This expense
can only be met through the
cooperation of property owners,
he added.
If the necessary funds can
be obtained, the project will
be city wide, and will include
grading, gravelling and oiling of
designated streets; the construc-
ton of a concrete curb along
newly gravelled streets and
some improved streets which do
not have curb; and the removal
OF broken curb and its replace
ment with new.
Boulevards would also be
constructed along certain streets
by grading grassing and plant
ing trees, and sidewalks would
be laid in areas where it was
thought necessary.
A map of the proposed pro-
ject is in the hands of city Of
ficials, Mayor Ransier said.
The survey made by the WPA
indicated that it would be nee
sary to operate a stone crusher
in gravel pits to obtain material
to be used on the project.
Among other things, the plans
include the planting of 60 pop
lar trees and 1856 Chinese elmS.
