Another Effort Bring Made to Have Washington Street Paved.

The failure of the combined improvement of Washington and Cullen and Forest streets was due mainly to opposition along Forest and Cullen, which streets did not need improving nearly so badly as Washington. Now another petition is being circulated for the improvement bf Washington street from the river bridge east to Cullen street. The proposition is bring liberally signed and as the improvement is very much needed it is quite apt to succeed. The pavement contemplated is machinemixed asphalt. The present street would be spiked up, leveled, rolled ' and redressed with the machinemixed asphalt to a thickness of three or four inches. The estimated cost is about $2.00 ,per front foot or Including the gutter about S2JO, which is inexpensive and the street will probably last a long time. The construction of an adequate sewer should be provided, howeveß before the street improvement is undertaken.
