Show SPECIAL SESSION OF CITY COUNCIL. The City Council held a special meeting Saturday evening April 20 th ior the purpose of entertaining bids for street sprinkling during the ensuring year. There were a number of bids le-ceived le-ceived by the council for the position and after due consideration C. W. Averett who had the position last year,' was appointed. His bid being ! the most satisfactory. The council also decided to bring the state road up Main street in preference pre-ference to any other, and that the grade be made in conformity with the ! grade of the cementside walks which are now laid across the street. This j will make a gradual slope from the ' Cinter of the street to the gutters on either side making a good water shed for the street which it has neededery badly for a long time. The equivalent of the amount of monev that would he exnended on a thirty six foot grade will be spent on main by the state and if this a-mount a-mount will not complete the work required, the city will finish the remaining portion. It is thought however that the amount will cover the work laid out by this plan: There will be a thirty-six foot erade laid on 5th West street and the city requests that the Telphone Company move the poles which are in the Center of the street to the west side, thus making a clear highway for the public traffiic. On State street North of Main there will be two grades each twenty fet wide running North until it meets the County road. |
