Cent. Ave. Cement Walks

Council Take up Matter Last Night – No Action Taken by The Body.

The project of cement walks on Central avenue which has been a contended point with the city council for several weeks was again brought up, when near the close of the regular council meeting, the body as a whole met in a grievance meeting.

A number of Central avenue property owners were present in the council room, and several offered objections. They state that cement walks are gradually coming to be the thing on the main streets and that in a short time they will be put in by all without the council taking action. the grievance meeting was closed after hearing the objections without action being taken. A member of the city council stated today that the probabilities were strong that an ordinance requiring cement walks on both sides of Central avenue would be passed at the next meeting.
