PARK AVE. TO BE RE-PAVED

CONTRACT TO BE LET IN THE NEAR FUTURE. The property owners livilfg on Park avenue have quietly petitioned for the paving of their street. . Park avenue is by far the best looking avenue in Rensselaer and it should be paved. The petition calls for and specifies that Park aveiftie from Washington street to ,the Kannal residence shall be re-graded and paved with ten-fncb cedar wooden blocks. Wooden paving blocks will hint stand heavy drayage but Park avenue being wholly a residence street and. not a main outlet, wooden blocks if properly laid should wear for years. Samples of blocks can be seen by anyone at Hilliard & Hamill's store. They cost from $4.50 to $7.00 per. block and are soft hat blocks that nobody will knock. AH colors, all shapes. Bet some people would like to knock my block off.
