Blacktop On 4th Ave. Promised This Season

The City Street Department is planning to put blacktopping on Fourth Avenue from the City Dock as far north as the Civic Center this summer
 Fred Kielcheski, who is head of the Street Department, appeared before the council Monday evening to request help for the project, and was given permission to make ar engagements for hiring a man to take charge of the job, which could include improvement on the block between Washington and Adams Street laid last year.
 Cliff Addition
 Kielcheski also requested that the council hold up further sales of lots in the Cliff Addition until he has been able to cut streets through that section. Since the cutting of streets on a straight line would be entirely prohibitive in cost and unsatisfactory, he sug- gested that the streets be laid out to follow the contour of the land.
 Following the contour, however, would mean that in a few places the lots would be of unequal size on each side of the street. For this reason, Kielcheski stated, lot would have to be re-plotted before being put up for sale.
 The council agreed to have the street surveyed and marked out for grading. The work will be done as the Street Department finds avail able time for the job.

Council Meets Next Monday To Set
 AnnuoI Budget

There will be special meeting of the City Council on Monday evening, June 13, for the purpose of making up budget for the coming year. Heads of all depart mentS will be called upon to sub init estimates of their needs for the coming year.
 The council will then allocate funds for the coming year, and all department h e ds will be warned to keep within their budg- cts, Mayor Lanier said.
 Since a new mayor and council will be elected next October, the budget submitted by the present administration will not bind the incoming administration For this reason, the mayor said, the council would make up the budget on a quarterly basis so that it would not be too difficult for the new council 10 make changes.

City Beautiful Campaign Inspires New Lawns

While scores of truck loads of rubbish have been carted out of the city during the cleanup campaign of the past month. many people may not be aware that many truck loads of top soil have been carted into the city for lawns and gardens.
 Two truckers have been kept busy for several weeks and are still behind in their orders for top soil. Stateside real estate experts have said that good paint job on house increases it's value by twenty per cent, and in places where soil is poor, fine lawn contributes greatly to the desire ability of home.
