great interest.

PAVING PLANS
NOW UNDER WAY
Prepare to Issue .*50.000 Worth
of Bonds; to Introduce
Ordinances Soon

big paving program, for which the

sham is busy drawing up the necessary

duce an ordinance authorizing the
paving and grading of at least a few
of the streets to be paved under the

clear up the necessary legal formali
ties and pass the required ordinances
at an early date so that an early start
may be made on a small part of the
program this year. This will permit
paving all the streets to be Improved
in the early part of next year.

day, but It is likely that some of the
streets that are the most used will be
improved first.
