to Pave Ithaca and Chemung
Streets to Be Decided Monday
August 27th
Waverly—Next Monday the
taxpayers ol this village will be
called on to decide whether or not
the sum of $8,000 or so much as
is necessary shall be raised on the
bonds of the village for the pur-
pose of paving Ithaca and Che
mung streets. The question as to
whether or not the pavement shall
be of brick or macadam will also
be voted on at that time. Just
what this means to the taxpayers
in general and the residents of
these strcets in particular is not
very clearly understood by many
who are interested in the outcome
of this election,
With regard to the manner in
which the pavement is to paid for:
The resolution -provides "that the
paved section shall be 31 feet wide,
and that it shall be paid for in the
following preportions: nine feet of
the pavement shall be paid for by
the street car company; S80 per
cent of the balance shall be paid
for by the property owners on the
said streets, and 20 per cent. by
the village at large, This division
of the payment gives the property
owners on cach side a strip of
pavement 8 8.10 feet wide to pay
for, and that to be paid for by the
village will be 4 4-10 feet wide.
If the sum of £8 coo represents the
share that will fall upon the vil'age
then the full cost of the entire
work will approximate the sum of
$36,364, of which the traction
ccmpany will have to pay $16,364,
and the taxpayers on each side of
the street the sum of $16,000, _
It will cost about 30 per cent.
less than the above figures to pave
the street with macadam, it being
about that much cheaper than
brick.
