From Tuesday's Daily Last evening the city council at its session made a decided start to ward a paving program for the year 1C25 and which in the first, second and third wards embraces some 37 blocks of paving and some of which is very badly needed to connect up tho districts already paved. The first ward presented for the consideration of the council the mat ter of paving a block and a half on North Third street; Oak street from Third to Sixth; Locust between Fourth and Sixth; Elm from Fourth, to Seventh. The second ward presented as its offering four blocks on North Elev enth street, from Elm to Fulton; three blocks on Eighth street from Oak to Walnut; three blocks on Elm fror.i Eighth to Eleventh streets. The third ward offered as its con tribution to the proposed paving, 3 blocks on Pearl from Tenth to Thir teenth; three blocks on Marble from t Ninth to Twelfth; one block on Tenth from Granite to Pearl; five blocks on Rock from Seventh to Twelfth; two blocks on Sixth street between Vine and Pearl street. All of these paving propositions! were referred to the streets, alleyi and bridges committee for considera tion and tabulation for report at the next session. Councilman Brittain of the fourth ward announced that he had a num ber of blocks that he would like to offer and which would probably cov er 11 blocks, but which he would bring up later.. The couneil received a communi cation from Attorney J. A. Capwell relative to a claim of Mrs. Brittain of Council Bluffs, who fell on the sidewalk at Sixth and Main streets on December 22nd and suffered the fracture of a leg, and in which she asked the sum of $337.40 for actual medical aid and care.

Living ston, asking perrciesion to install gas tanks and pumps near their places of business on South Fourth street and which were referred to the streets, alleys and bridges committee. The streets, alleys and bridges committee, which has had a breath ing spell during the winter months, was deluged with work at the ses sion of the council and almost every matter that was brought up was sent to this committee for action.

Councilman Lorenz reported that the time clock used in switching off and on the electroliers had been sent in to the factory for repairs and that when it was returned he thought it would be a good idea to place its care in the hands of the Nebraska Gas &. Electric Co. Councilman Bestor asked that the street commissioner be given permis sion to wash off the paved streets in the business section at his first op- portunity. which was allowed. Councilman McMaken stated that as the engineers were to be here this week that he desired to have them give a rough estimate of the cost of extending the box sewers like in use on Main street along Vine and Pearl streets so that with ample openings they could care for part of the water from heavy rains before it reached the main part of the city. Councilman Vronian of the fifth ward stated that they were not ask ing for any paving but wished to have Lincoln avenue graveled from the end of the present cindered road out to the junction with the county road and which would make a very nice driveway through the main part of the city. lie also stated there would be more cinders available soon which could be used in build ing up the present roadway. Councilman Lorenz urged that as spring was near the street commis sioner look after the opening of the waterways over the city and see that they were placed in proper shape so that they would carry off the water and not plugged up with brush and debris.
