Improvements Ahead
Citizens May Protest
The council has started up im

paving, sidewalks and curbs, which
if placed in ita entirety, will total
$30,000 in cost.
In making up the
program the officials have been mind

by which a protest o f sixty per cent
o f property owners on a project can
defeat an improvement, and have
included everything that seemed to
call for improvement.
Sidewalks can not be stopped in
this way, but paving and curbs can.
The proposals call for the paving o f
