The council granted a petition for a change In the paving plans in front of S. C. Miller's residence, at the top of the South Jackson street hill. W'aite's Addition. As originally planned, the paving was to abut n rounded curb to shape the jog that prevails In the street at that place.

The paving contracts ratified by the council involve South Stephens street, from Hrockway to Huberts, and Sheridan street, from Oak to Cass, both to bo paved by the Clark & Henery Construction Company.

It was slated In the council that Mr. Hunter claims exclusive title to the spur by reason of a deed from the Sol Abraham es tate and that if he sustains litis claim he will be able to carry out his niton Hon of blocking the proposed paving of Sheridan street. Mayor Mirelll contended, however, that Mr. Hunt er's deed does not bear directly on the spur llself, hut merely grants the right of way for It.
