While not n regular business meet
iug. the opportunity wns used for the
discussion of several mailers Dial have
occupied the attention of the body.
The subject of the street paving was
considered. Sometime ago various
committees, residents of the several
streets of the city, were appointed to
con for with the property holders on
Iheir respective streets, regarding the
arrangement made with the city to
pave the streets and have the city pay
hall' (he expense and Hie property
holders pay the other. The reports
lot' these committees were encouraging
; in iho extreme, since the residents of
I most of the important streets have
entered into the agreement heartily.
, Hence, Hie streets of Uuirens will ho
I paved, and the burden of expense will
I be well distributed.
For some time the people of |,au
roils have thought this ellj large
enough to warrant tree city delivery
of mails: indeed it is only there has
not been the proper oi'guili/.cd effort
lo secure It, The chamber ol com
merce hits taken the matter in hand
now. ami if Hie present plans uro ear

cured for next year. The postollioc
receipts have lacked but little up lo
