ARRANGE FOR FIRST PAYMENT ON PAVING ASSESSMENT JULY 1. Number of Matters of Interest Acted on at Meeting; of Council Tuesday Night?Will Recommend- Man for i Cotton Weigher. City Council held a regular meet? ing last night, Messrs. Rowland and Booth being present. A number of matters of general interest came up for attention, the most important of these to citizens being announcement that arrangements would probably be made for receiving the first payments on the paving assessments by July 1. Mr. Rowland reported that the claims of Messrs. Norman Chandler and Cyril Schwartz were in process of adjustment. The clerk and treasurer reported that the bill of $2,800 for paving laid in the A. C. L. yard by the city was still unpaid and Mr. Rowland was asked to urge settlement of this claim, as the city needed the money. The clerk and treasurer asked for definite instructions as to charges which should be made for driveways and walkways put in by the paving contractors in front of residences. Council decided that property owners must pay for the walkways in front of their houses, and where there was more than one driveway to the lot. property owners must pay the entire coat of such driveways. Where there was only one driveway, the property owners would pay only one-third of the cost of construction, as with the sidewalk and paving in front of hiv premises. The amount for additional driveways and walkways should be charged against the property owner on the first assessment which became due. Maj. Lee made Inquiries as to alleyways and driveways on South Harvin street In order to make the proper assessments against them. The city clerk was instructed to push up his work on the paving as? sessments in order that they would be in shape for collection of the first payment at the first of July. Fire Inspector Finn reported that the Crosswell and Reardon buildings on South Main street and East Lib? erty streets, respectively, had been put In condition to conform to the build? ing code. The police and library reports were read and ordered filed. The city clerk and treasurer was Instructed to advertise for applica? tions for the position of public cot? ton weigher, so that council could recommend a suitable man for the place to the coun v board of commis? sioners for election for the term be? ginning July 1. Supt. Finn reported the fire station in bad condition and in need of re? pairs. City Manager Shuler was in? structed to investigate and report back to Council what repairs were needed. The matter of relieving the con? gested condition of the recorder's docket was discussed, with a view of finding some means of speeding up the trial of cases to relieve the city of the expense of keeping prisoners in the guard house.
