night and no referendum, a con

Excavation work can be started
withm a few days, and paving
can be laid rapidly, but it is
hardly probable that more than a
half dozen blocks, at most, can
be laid before the heavy rains.
Six weeks of good weather after
October 1st would permit the
paving of all of Second street,
but such good luck will hardly be
50 i our portion.

north is to be but 32 feet wide,
the remainder full width, about
52 feet. The average cost of the
32 foot paving is expected to be
slightly less than $300 per lot of
60 feet.
, Petitions Can Not Defeat
Petitions against the proposed
paving will not,, necessarily, de
feat the proposition. Though a
majority of all the people on the
sixteen blocks were up in arms,
the council could, if it chose to do
so, -go ahead with the improve
ment.. In such a case, however,
it is hardly probable that the
" Council would do so.
It is Attorney Bryson's opinion
that the council can not take cog
nizance of the petitions to be
presented tonight that is, the
council can not cut out the sec
tion north of Van Buren and go
ahead with the remainder of the
improvement. If the council
heeds the request of the petition
ers, then the entire paving propo
sition is done for.
The Referendum
x
If the council can not or will
toot take action, then the only
thing the petitioners can do is to
invoke the referendum. If they
can get about 100 signers to a
petition, an election will have to
be called.. If the majority of the
voters in the city say the pro
posed improvement should not
be carried through, then the
council will have to cease its ac
tivity. Those opposed haye ten
days after tonight in which to in
voke the referendum, in case
they desire to do so.
Little Paving This FaD
It is evident that no great
amount of paving can be done
