Of course, it Is probably not possible
to s;et tlte big project for paving the
streets of the Peninsula under way this
year, but it Is thought It will be for
enough along r.ext year to start actual
work. Hers !t Is proposed to form a big
paving district and Improve the main
streets as a whole through a district as
sessment by a plan suggested by W. J.
Peddlcord in a recent report on the sub

Just the number of miles of hard-surface
pavements that will be completed
during the present year can only be esti

Is beyond question. There, may be U
miles of such Improvement by the end

Several districts are to be formed for
hard-surface pavements. The first four
thoroughfaxea radiating from tha busi
ness center are. Hawthorn avenue, which
Is being paved from East Third to East
forty-first street at present, and later
to be extended to East Fifty-fourth
street. at a total cost of about
2.00t: Union avenue, from Holladay
avenue to Highland, two miles, at a cost
of Gfio.oao; revision, between Kast Tenth
and East Forty-first, costing about J1S0.
000; Belmont street, between East Tenth
and West avenue, about two and a half
miles, at a cost of about K50.000.
Work as now going forward on Haw
thorns avenue., a very Important street,
connecting; with tha Madison bridge and
Orand avenue. There is a most remark-
able growth along both sides of Haw
thorn avenue and this pavement will
It added Importance. It Is not a
district scheme, but the property-owner
; abutting- the property bear the whole
burden. Hawthorne avenue has been
the battleground of the paving compa
nies for several years, and the property
wnera can hardly realize that work '.a
now progressing on this street. However,
some, of the finest homes on the East
Side have been erected along Hawthorne
avenue and others are being built.
Drvlson street Is to be paved between
East Tenth and East Forty-first streets
with hard-surface pavement, a distance
of about one and one-hajf miles. The
cost haa not been estimated. Division Is
the city end of the Section IJne road. Tt
is part of a main thoroughfare for the
entire southeastern end of the county
and the Section Line road is well-Improved
and extends to Gresham. if is
understood that a hard-surface district
will be formed between Division street
and the Powell Valley road during the
year to Improve the present unimproved
streets.
Belmont Is the main central street on
the East Side, extending from the Wil
lamette River to Mount Tabor. It is
being paved between Kast Water street
and West avenue. From Kast Tenth
street the Improvement Is hard-surface.
It will be pavod to West avenue this
year and extended later to the summit.
It is the street that will be extended to
the Mount Tabor Park in the course of

tricts as Holladay Addition and Irvington
demonstrate that the better the pavement

and that every dollar put Into Aral-class

of the property. This was the experience
