REPAIR PLAN MAY BE PUT IN
Proposition to Eenew Payaments at Ei
- pense of Abutting Property in FaTor.
ADOPTION LOOKED FOR BY FIRST OF YEAR
City Attorney Wright Sees No Objec
tion to His Plan and Think
It Can B Made Pop
nlar. .
Ac a result of the attention directed to
ward th right of the city to repair pave
ments at the expense of abutting property
owners. It Is likely that this plan will be
put In vogue In a systematlo manner at th
beginning of next year. Repair dlstrlots
will be created, contract let for a term of
year and 'compensation derived by levy
ing special taxes.
So far a I can sea, there Is nothing to
hinder the city from doing this," said City
Attorney Wright. "Th objection hereto
fore held by contractor toward accepting
warrant drawn on th special tax funds
can be overcome, I think, by paying them
from the general repair fund, whloh will
be reimbursed by special taxes.
1 have not finished looking into the
matter, but this Is the way It looks to me
from a preliminary Inquiry. Aa a matter
of .fact, I do not thing th. property own
er will object to this. The cost to each
will b small, not running more than $4 or
15 In most case, and th majority of them
ought to be willing to pay th amount and
have good street.
'However, It is too lata to make any
arrangements along this lin this year,
becauae the otty is short of ready money."
Regarding th matter of repaying North
Sixteenth street. It has been said that th
interested property owner ar inclining
toward the improvement. An agent for
nonresident flrma owing considerable front
age along the street has declared bis clients
In favor of repaying and expressed th
opinion that many other propegty owners
felt the same way about It. It la under
stood that a petition will be circulated toon
calling for repaying.

SCROFULA
Scrofula manifests itself in many ways. Swelling of the glands of tho
neck and throat, Catarrh, weak eyes, white swelling', offensive sores and
abscesses, skin eruptions, loss of strength and weakness in muscles and joints.
It is a miserable disease and traceable in almost every instance to soma
family blood taint. Scrofula is bred in the bone, is transmitted from parent
to child, the seeds are
planted in infancy and
unless the blood is purged
and purified and every
atom of the taint removed
Scrofula is sure to develop
at some period in your life.
