DALLAS PAVIXG NOW POSSIBLE
Legality of Recent Bond Election
Makes funds Available.
DALLAS. Or- Juno 2T. (Speeial.)
Attorney-General Crawford having de
clared legal the election which adopted
an amendment to the charter, granting
the city power to issue $7&ow worth ox
bonds for the purpose of constructing
a septic tank in this city, the City
Council will at once take steps to issue
the bonds. The city now can go ahead
the present season and construct i
number of additional blocks ot pave
nient.
The work of street improvement was
held in abeyance pending the outcome
ef the bonding Is&ue, fox. bad the bond
proposition failed to carry, it would
have been necessary to use the-' street
improvement money for the septic
tank.
As to whether the improvement this
Summer will consist ot macadam or
hard surface pavement has not been
determined. From all over the city
property owners are demanding hard
surface pavements: but it is doubtful
If the City Council will approve ot
hard surface this year, except upon a
few business blocks. The outline for
macadam pavement, however, takes in
practically all of the city net hereto
fore improved. Tho City Council will
take action in the matter this week.
