Brick or Other Substantial Material Recommended for Washington, Cullen and Dayton Streets.

A petition is being circulated and it is understood quite liberally signed to provide for Xhe paving of Washington street from the bridge to the Makeever hotel, thence north on Cullen and Forest streets to the railroad. The* petitioh recommends brick or other substantial paving material. George A. Williams, A. J. Bellows and D. E. Grow are leaders in favor of the petition. Robert Yeoman is circulating a remonstrance. To. defeat the project will require. 70 per cent of the abutting property owners.
