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. This was re
ferred to the judiciary committee
and Chairman McMaken to care for
unttTthe next' meeting. "
Petitions were received from W.
T. Craig and al?o John B. 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.
A petition was receivea from John
Valentines for All!

a viaduct on Granite street over the
C, B. & 0 tracks which lead from

standing at the close of January.
Councilman Bester reported that
the engineer? had not been able to
get here to look over the proposed
road to the cemetery and give figures
as to the cost and proposed route.
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.

however, melted a great deal of the i
snow and It passing will be the mat- '
ter of a few hours. The hopes of the j to continue the process' of matching
coming of spring have been brrght- ; dollars with the federal government
ened by the fact that the baseball ; for road building purposes, the laws
teams are preparing to start for their , ef the state must be changed to har
spring training camps in tht south monize with the federal statutes,
and Henry Field has announced via This f?ct was brought out today at a
radio that spring is only three weeks hearing by the house committee on
