Last High) Calling for
Paving of Strests

Thlreopte Will be Given Six Month*
in Which to Begin Work—
Several Different Materials
Can Be Used.
The city council of Brunswick,
wriU. mmendaiile enterprise, and
tiie proper sort of energy, made a
bold step forward last night for a
complete system of paved sidewalks
fot Brunswick, when -an ordinance
>was introduced, read for the second
and third time and passed, providing
for the paving of sidewalks on the
following streets and territory:
Newcastle street, from G to Han
over park, on Manslield street from
Albany to Bay; on Monk street from
Norwich to Bay; and on Gloucester
street, from Cochran avenue to Bay.
Alderman Mann introduced an
amendment to strike from the ordi
nance the se tion covering Alausflelu
to Bay,arguing that the city owned
much of the property on Mansfiolu
aud was not able to pave the side
wales. Alderman Wriglit was on his
fee. in a minute and said it was un
fair to the citizens of Brunswick for
the city to force them to put dowu
sidewalks and then plead that, the
city itself was too poor to put sidt
walks on its own properly. He saio
he would vot eto wllhdiaw the eu
tire ordinance before he would vote
for such an amendment. Alderman
-Tupper agreed with Alderman Wrigni
and Alderman Cox said he did not
believe in making foul of trie peopn
and flesh of the city. On a vote the
amendment was lost receiving oniy
one vote, that of Aldeimau Maun
The ordinance provides that the
wori must commence on these side
- walks within six monks, property
owners to select the material from
tile, cement bio ka, mono
fetthic cement or vitrified brick.
Hjrhe move is along progressive
3s and it is to be hoped that the
PBpie will rally to the city and aid
in the good work.
