meeting of the council next Monday
night, for on that occasion, final action
on paving Adams avenue will be ta
ken .and bids will be opened for ma
cadamizing the east end of Adams av
enue. The paving matter is perhaps i
of prime importance. Promoters and
friends of paving ar eflrm in their be
lief that the paving proposition will
succeed b yreason but little objec
tion. . It is expected that perhaps one
or two wil Icome to the front with
disproval of such improvement, but
It. is not thought that modern im
provement of the main thoroughfare
will be retarded materially.
Notice of bids for construction of
the paving of Adams avenue from i
Fourth street on the west, o the point
where macadamizing commences on
the east, will be issued Immediately
after next Monday night if the paving
spirit is no tnipped in the bud.
