Show THE STREET PAVING QUESTION , ' During the paat week a number of paving men have visited Bingham with a view of interesting the town board in the matter --.tit paving the main street. The town does not at present possess the means of doing this work, and there are some other complications complica-tions here not common in other towns. The street here is very narrow and it would be impossible to pave it with cement as that -' would necessitate the cessation of traffic, there being no other route available for use. From the engineers who have visited the town it is learned ' - that the state has helped and is helping other towns and cities to ... pave their streets where the same is used as part of a state road. . Also the county does a portion of the work. Park City, Provo, Paysbn, Ogden, Logan, Salt Lake City and other places have received re-ceived Btate and county aid for such purposes. At present the ' the state is paying two-fifths of the cost of paving a street in Payson, and also planning to assist in additional paving at Provo. It seems certain. that the state and county would pay at. least two-thirds of the expense of paving the street here. However, if Bingham should undertake the matter of paving it would be necessary for individual property owners to make contributions con-tributions for the work. Engineers here this week estimated that the total cost of paving the portion of Main street badly in need of it would be about $25,000. |
