Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1911 — MAY REMONSTRATE. [ARTICLE]

MAY REMONSTRATE.

Parties Opposed to Bricking Street May Be Heard. Regarding the street improvement petition now being circulated for the bricking of Forest and Cullen streets from the Jailroad to Washington street and thence west to the \\ ashington street bridge, and improving the roadway from there out to St. Joseph’s College by making a tarvia road, nearly two miles in all, the petition, we are told will come up before the county commissioners at their regular meeting one week- from Monday, and should the commissioners act favorably on the petition, then those opposed to the improvement have a certain length of time —probably ten or twenty davs—to file remon- - ■ » strances. It is proposed to pay for the improvement by a general tax on the city and township, under the three mile law, No estimate of the probable cost has been made, but it will probably be somewhere from $40,000 to $60,000.
