Property Owners Plan to Ex-
tend Street Improvement,
to Cold Storage.
A movement has been inaugurat
ed among the property owners on
North Front street to extend tho
bituminous rock pavement from Al
der street to which point it has been
ordered by the city council, out to
the cold stprage plant. There Is a
strong sentiment In favor of the pav-
llng and Indications are that It will
crystallzo into action at an early
day.
The great Improvement In appear
ance and addition of actual value to
property by this pavement as proven
by the work already accomplished
Is responsible for the enthusiasm
with which the project is regarded
by property owners.
If this plan for paving all of
North Front street sudceeds the
work may be done before paving the
sawdust flats. This change was oc
casioned by delay In some of the
property owners on the flat in slgn-
ng up contracts. It Is to be hoped
that paving on the flats will not be
delayed too long as that section of
tho city would be In bad shape If
the streets are not Improved before
thol-alny season.
