Show IT IS DOUBTFUL. Will Second anrt Third Sonth Streets Be I'aved or Not ? There is a whole lot of speculation among the enterprising citizens of Salt Lake today regarding the probable outcome of the petitions peti-tions for- paving Second and Third South streets. There are apparently a great many property owners on each thoroughfare who do not desire any improvements and the case of Third South seems to tremble in the balance, bal-ance, while it is conceded that Second South is all right by a few feet. The owners or trustees of the Methodist church property opposite The Times office are among the protectants on Third South, while Auerbaeh is another. All of which makes J. M. Kicketts extremely warm under the vest. 'When the Knutsford hotel was built," said Mr. Kicketts, "these people aided the project not a whit. It did more to build up the east side than anything that could have been done. Now when we want to pave so that this vicinity will be still further benefitted bene-fitted they kick. No wonder people say 'why don't the council do something?' How can they when they are not permitted permit-ted T Tas. K. Gillespie was also slightly hot. "I don't know whether Second South is a go yet or not. The very people we expected would help us have signed remonstrances, i Kelscy has been working very bard. Why i the opposition had Matt Cullen on their list. When we explained the cae he signed for paving." From other sources it was gathered that Bits, the owner of the White House and the owners of the Walker property west of Main on Second South are among those who protest. Everyone concedes that the paving of Second and Third South would be the inak- i ig of those two thoroughfares and The Times would like to see them paved. |
