In tho raising of such forage crops

the downtown streets, nnd larger
percentages on several residence
streets, wcro read and filed with the
council, all of them calling for some
approved typo of paving except oho,
which specified Wllllto paving.
Because tho present a.gitation for
paving is identified with the offer
made by President C. S. Reed of the
Western Williate Construction Co.r
tho meeting was opened by the read
ing by tho city recorder of the offer
made by Mr, Reed, and telegrams and
letters received from various cities
throughout tho nation whero Wllllto
has been used In paving, all of them
very favorable to tho compound.
Telegrams from Los Angeles,

after which tho mayor called tor ex
pressions ot opinion from tho tax
payers present. Expression was slow
to como, but unmlstakoably In favor
ot immedlato paving whon It did
come. The topic most discussed was
whether tho two inches of asphalt
specified in Mr. Reed's offer would
be sufficient to hold up the traffic
and prove satisfactory.
Hugh O'Kane, tho first speaker,
said he was willing to take a chaB.es
If It meant paving right away.
A. S. Benson was in favor of get
ting export opinion as to the relatlva
merits of different hard surface. D.

II, J. Ovorturf agreed with preced

should be loft to tho council and the
city engineer. Mr Vlnal, spoaklag
as-an engineer, said ho believed the
Wllllto offer and guaranteo wore un
