Asphalt Block Wins Out

The street committee met last week Thursday afternoon and evening and took up the Liberty street paving question. There has been quite a lively fight going on between the asphalt block and brick paving friends, but the asphalt block people won out in committee, as their petition now contains 66 names.

When presented to the council it had 65 names. Letters were presented withdrawing the names of ten property owners from the petition, cutting it down to 55. Thursday night certificates were presented from all of the ten asking to have their names put back on the asphalt petition. One additional name was presented. The committee decided that the asphalt block petition had the signatures of the majority of the property owners on Liberty street.

It is not at all unlikely that an effort will be made to get the ten names who were taken off of the asphalt block petition and then put back, taken off the second time.
