HEARTY INTEREST IN STREET PAVING HERE! MAY ASSESS ABUTTING PRO PERTY OWNERS PERMANENT WORK Outcome of Tuesday's Election Awaited With Confidence on Part of People in Anderson About the only , reason that Ander son people feel any interest in the meeting ot the State election commis sioners, held in Columbia next Tues day, ia to ascertain the ontcome of the amendment to the constitution which will sive the city of Anderson and other cities in this State the right to assess abutting property for tho pur pose ot permanent improvements, which amounts to saying that the city desires to make the property owners; along certain streets pay a part of [ the cost of the street paving, now be ing considered for thia city. Before the amendment. becomes a law it will have to go before the peo ple- and will have to be approved by a majority-of the voters. The amendment proposed for An derson gives this city the right tc asseas the property owners on either Bide of the street one-fourth the cost of the improvements. The city will pay for the improvements on the street crossings and for the remain ing one-half.. The traction company will pay for paving between and for 18 inches OD either Bide of ita tracks. Mayor Godfrey stated today that lt | the resulte ot the election can ho learned Tuesday afternoon he will ask the city council when in regular ! session next Tuesday night, to adopt an Ordinance providing for the hold . log of the election, to be'held just as soon at possible:' " <k ? Since the former administration re- j tired $32,600 of school bonds, and since the tax assessments of the city have made some increases during the last year or sb, there is a bond mar gin of about $100,000. Certainly this | will be the amount of bond margin when-the tax books are made up in February. The mqney to be realized from assessing abutting property, and tbs .amount from the traction com pany ?111 make another $100,000 and this means that the city of Anderson can ?pend $200,000 orr street paving next spring. There are .Beveral kinda of street paving, of courso, and there are a great many different, prices of. paving. Taking a paving of average cost lt will j cost approximately $15,000 a mlle to j . pave ' the streets of Anderson. This; means that Anderson has in her reach nearly 14. miles of . paving. And by i the time this is done the people will, be so thoroughly : bleared-willi navlng 1 that -Ut ero will bot "be toy 'trouble to get the bond margins of the city In creased. In tho course or the next -three of four years, taking other cities* experience as examples, lt ls predict ed that Anderson will have from 20 to 20 miles -of street paving. A start is al! that Is necessary now. ';. If the election ls ordered and held thore is little doubt abbat the outcome. While there Ie some opposition to the I ide?, on the part bf the' large prop-1 erty. owners of. the city, it is already ! evident that the people of -Anderson li ave come, to realize that in order to keep, abreast with tho tune and make the progr ess , bein g made by other cit-' les, Street paving 1B ..essential.
