M Opposes 4Iacadam Pavement. "I ob Ject strongly against macadam being put on E.aut Morrison street between Grand avenue and Ka.t Seventh streets as pro posed," said Thomas Hlflop, an Kast Side property-owner, lnpt evening, "for the reason that Kast Morrison street ought to be paved with htrd pavement." In further explanation nf the grounds of his objections, Mr. Hit-!-; said that the prop crty-owners on Grand avenue had now practically asf'ed to put down a hard pavement on Grand avenue from Kast 'lay north t Holladay avenue, making It a fine highway through the East Side, "South from llelmont to East Clay," con tinued Mr. Ilislop, "the present plank would lad two years, but the property owners have agreed to waive that fact. tear It up and lay an expensive hard pavement. Now, it would be too bad if Kast Morrison street shsuld be paved with a second-class pavement when it , can stand as good a pavement as Grand avenue. Bast Morrison street should be paved from the bridge out to Bast Twen tieth street with hard material. I think if the property-owners will stop to con sider the matter Htey will conclude that thry want as good a pavement as we are going to lay on Grand avenue." Lai Iron o.v Cedarvii.lj Branch. Iron is being laid on the Cedarvillo branch of the O. W. P. Gresham railway to Kairview and Troutdale. The branch is eight miles long, and will connect these two towns with Portland.
