The consensu* of opinion seemed to be in favor of the proposed improve ment. There is some objec tion voiced to the proposition, however, on the ground that using such an amount of money for this purpose would deplete the road fund to such an extent that no other streets could be improved for a long time There is some merit in this contention, provided the money for the improvement is taken from the general fund. However, this objection could be overcome by requiring that the property facing the improved street pay the cost of the improvement This is customary in street improve ments and is equitable as the adjacent property receives the direct benefit of such improvement.
