TH CURB COLLEGE AVENUE

Street Being Improved by County May Be Widened. At the meeting of the city council Monday night all members were present, except Councilman Warner. The city engineer was directed to prepare plans and specifications and the city attorney to prepare resolution for the improvement of College avenue from Lincoln avenue —the street leading to the cemetery—north to Vine street —the street running east and west past the Gwin lumber yard—by extending the improvement now being made by the county, four feet on each side and putting in a cement curb, the abutting property owners to pay this additional expense. This is the street running north and south past the residence of| the county highway superintendent, who has about 150 feet fronting on College avenue. Superintendent of the water and light plant was directed to purchase piping for extending the water mains to the Benjamin Harris Home for Widows. The usual batch of claims were allowed.
