' f-vSiim&yo April fomrth - Council Bluffs STREET PAVEMENT BURIED Business lien fieoommend that Road Drag Be Put in 8errice. MAYQR TALKS OP NEXT YEAR Says He Will ee te It that All ef the Aprrarlala Is Nell Use Dm in tn Karly Moat as ef the Year. "t see by the newspapera that farmers along the routes of the rural mall car riers In thia county are doing splendid work dragging the roads and thereby plac ing them In good condition for travel. When I read of thia good work being don by the farmers, the thought occurred to me that It would be a good thing If th city official would buy one of the road draga and drag Broadway from tha Northwaatern depot to the Methodist church. The dirt la so thick on Broadway that It la almost Impossible to recognise It a a pared thor oughfare," aald a well known bualneaa man yesterday. The streets and alley fund ha been depleted for aeveral month and In conse quence nothing haa been done In the way of cleaning them since laat fall. About the time of holding the fruit show under the auspices of the National Horticultural congress' a little work waa done on the street In the Immediate vicinity of the Auditorium, but since then the mud and debris has been permitted to accumulate until' the granite paving blocks have be come burled out of sight. Wednesday dur ing the wind conditions on Broadway were most disagreeable. Duat and other debrla were blown about, filling the stores front ing on this main business street and making thlnga generally uncomfortable for pedes trians. The appropriation for the streets and al ley committee for the new fiscal year can be drawn upon after April 1 and Mayor Matoney stated yesterday that It waa his Intention to have Street Commlaloner Flood get busy as soon a possible. The mayor aald that a large street gang would be put to work and the atreeta in the bualness section of the city given a thorough clean ing. Mayor Gives Hla Vie we. "I am fully aware that the atreeta need cleaning and ' need It badly," aald Mayor Maloney. "We have been handicapped by a lack of funds, but I am planning to have matters different this year. I do not In tend that the entire appropriation tor the streets and alleys committee shall be ex pended tn the first few months of the fiscal year aa has generally been the case. It is my Intention to keep a sufficient amount available in thia fund so that the streets, especially' these In the business center of J the city, can be cleaned at regular Inter vals. I do not believe In expending the money appropriated for the atreeta and alleys committee on th dirt roads. The money appropriated for the atreeta and alleys committee ahould be used to keep the street clean. Repair on th dirt thoroughfarea ahould be done with the money out of the road fund. By this I mean that portion of th county road fund secured by taxation on property within the city should be expended on thia class of streets." Mayor Maloney also suggested yesterday that It la about time that property owner should begin to think about getting their yards tn shape. "I shall Issue a- notice next week calling the attention of the citl sens to this and I ahall expect them, to get busy ilgEt away.: Spring weather la here and there la no excuse for not getting an early' start. v Aa to the burning of rubbish An the street I will grant such permission In due time."
