The affair happened ir Edgefield county. ?The town council considered the cement sidewalks question al a meeting held last Wednesday afternoon/ and decided to help further this most desirable improvement. A contractor from Charlotte offered to put down concrete sidewalks five feet wide and five inches thick for 65 cents a running foot. Because of the shade trees, it is not deemed desirable to try to cover the entire pavement with cement. The five foot idea has been in practice for a long time in towns situated similarly to Yorkville, and it works satisfactorily. Mr. W. B. Moore had made a canvass with the contrurfAi* an/1 m AP*- A f . mwr?t Uic piupdiy owners along both sides of North Congress street, up to and including the front of the York Furniture Co's. establishment had agreed to bare one half of the expenses ol cement sidewalks if the towr would bear the other half. The town council agreed that such ar arrangement would be just anc equitable, and a resolution \va< adopted pledging the town to it; share of the expense. Contracts have already been virtually made for about 800 feet of sidewalk and it is probably that work will be commenced with no unnecessary delay.?Yorkville Enquirer.
