TO HAVE SIDEWALKS AND GRADED STREET Residents along 86th street, between Woodstock avenue and 65th avenue, have started the ball rolling by pe titioning for concrete sidewalks and other street improvements, and it is to be hoped their example will be speedily followed by every other street in the district. The Mt. Scott district is the worst off in the way of streets improvements of any other part of the city, and many country towns put us to shame. Lack of sidewalks and paving is the greatest hindrance to progress and growth in this part of Portland. Real estate dealers say many people come out with a view to buying or locating here, and return in disgust after viewing the vista of mud and water between 82nd and 92nd streets. The council has already approved the petition for the improvement of 86th street, which is to consist of grading the street to the proper sub grade, constructing concrete side walks, concrete curbs, wood cross walks concrete driveways and laying concrete gutter pipe. G. K. Howitt was the lowest bidder on the work, his bids being as fol lows: Excavation, earth, per cubic yard, fl.15; concrete sidewalk, per square foot, 20 cents; concrete curb, 55 cents per lineal foot; wood crosswalks, three feet w*ide, per lineal foot, fl; gutter pine, concrete, per lineal foot, fl.75; concrete driveway, six inches thick, per square foot, 35 cents; wood crosswalk, two feet wide, per lineal foot, 75 cents. The engineer's esti mate of the probable total cost of the improvement is »7385. The cost of the improvement will be assessed upon all lots, parts there of and parcels of land lying within the following boundaries: Beginning at a point on the south line of Woodstock avenue S. E., 100 feet west of the west line of 86th street S. E.; thence east along the the south line of Woodstock avenue to a point 100 feet east of the east line of 86th street; thence south, parallel to the east line of 86th street to the north line of 65th avenue; thence west along the north line of 65th avenue to a point 100 feet west of the west line of 86th street; thence north to the place of begin ning.
