Property Owners on South Side of
Willow Arenuo Will Soon .
. Secure Beparfment
The city council, - In - committee of the
whole, decided to grant the request of
property owners living on the south side
of Willow avenue in the block adjoining
Baylies park for the repavem ent of the
, street, and tha matter will thua be reported
at tha. next meeting of the council. For
the purpose of lessening the expense to the
property owners. City Engineer Etnyre Is
going to take' tha levels and ascertain If
It la possible to put a new course of pav
ing block on the surface without removing
(he old brick, If this can be done without
too much Interfererice with the grade lines
at Pearl street and at South Sixth street,
rt will save the property owners all the ex
pens of forming a new base.
The block in question Is the very first
bit of brick paving laid In western Iowa,
and It has been doing service for nearly
twenty-five year. It waa laid at a time
when the town was In the midst of Its ex
periments with cedar blocks, and was
permitted at the earnsst request of "Uncle
Jimmy" Wlckham, who made the brick,
, .prepared the specifications and assumed
the whole responsibility, solely, for tha
, purpose of trying out an idea by expert
' mentation. How soundly be reasoned and
bow well he did his work Is evidenced by
Cthe fact that after nearly a quarter of a
Iriitury of use on a street where traffio has
always been vary heavy the pavement Is
till la fair condition, and that, too, with
out a particle of repair of any character
from the daylt was laid.
Unless the park and library board vol
unteer to defray their portion of the ex
pense, the property ownera will have to as
sume all of the financial obligation.
rThu best pianos on earth are to be pur
chased at A. Hoape Co., and they charge

ada will require aome time to complete.
Mr. wimama pays it is really remarkable
how well tha Mouth Dakota lands with
stand the long and aevere drouth that haa
afflicted the northwest thla season. West

rerea oaniy. urain and flax la still grow
ing greenly, but the flax la not heading

bar that stopped paving progress. Owing

of the city and the water company the
water company naa no authority to lay any
street mains or make any sort of service ex
tension ana tne city naa no nower to com
pel It. The city council In committee of the
wnoie decided to aDDeal to the oatriotlsm of
the residents and ask them to defray tha
coei or laying a rour-incn main with the
guaranty that whenever the water problem
Is settled ther will be reimbursed for their
outlay. The water company ha agreed to
furnish the material and lay the new main
at abaolute coat, which will approximate
about SO oenta a foot. A proposition of this
character will be formulated at the next
meeting of tha city council.
