Council Passed'Resolution For Improvement of Streets.

The city council Monday night passed by a unanimous vote the resolution for the paving of Washngton street from the bridge to Cullen street and Cullen and Forest streets to the depot. This does not mean that the improvement is Anally ordered, but that the council has advanced the project to the point of considering the kind of pavement that will be used and that it is now. in shape to be opposed by remonstrance, and it is quite certain that an effort will be made to defeat it. Four kinds of pavement are being considered, viz. tarvia X, brick, wooden blocks and dolarway. Each kind has its partisans, so it is said, and all desire to get the best that is possible for the money. City Clerk Morlan and others have been studying pavements for some time and ail who will have to pay for this improvement if it is built should post themselves as thoroughly as possible.
