OF NORWICH STREET

Given Thoroughfare.
ST. SIMON HIGHWAY SURVEY
BE COMPLETED SEPT. ISTH.
City Commissioner Andrews
Gives Promise That the Mat
ter of Completing the Paving
of Norwich Street Will be
Taken Up Immediately by the
City Government.
A* the result of a number of vigor
ous speeches made yesterday at the
•weekly luncheon of the Young Men’s
Club, urging that immediate atten
tion be given to the completion of the
Norwich street paving, it appears
likely that this important task will be
taken up by the city government at an
early date.
City Commissioner J. L. Andrews
was the only official representative
of the city present at the gathering,
but he went on record with a promise
that the Norwich street work,would
be taken up without delay. He stat
ed that City .Manager Gramling would
begin at once with plans for the pav
ing.
Asa matter of fact the city com
missioners have been preparing to
pave the remainder of Norwich street
for the past several months, and the
only reason the work has been held
up is because of financial difficulties,
and the hope of obtaining aid from
the county and state.
Representative f B. F. Mann express
ed the opinion that It was a wrong
idea to attempt to get state aid for
this project, pointing out that there
are a number of other highways .of
bul more in.;'
ferred with If #ie stgte was request
ed for aid on Norwich street,
C. W. Irwin, chairman of the good
roads committee of the Board of
Trade, repeated the Information that
he, as chairman of the cojnmlttee, had
already obtained an agreement from
•tate highway offlejula. in writing, to
share on a fifty-fifty basts In the pav
ing of this street.
Bt. Simon Road Survey.
Another interesting development of
the meeting was the anupuncement of
Chairman C. MUler, the v county
commissioners, who stated that the
engineers would complete their work
of location for the proposed highway
by about Sept. 15, and would have n
final report ready to submit to the
commissioners by October 1. The
movement for the building of the
highway will then be gotten actively
under way. .
Mr. Miller also touched on the Nor-
Jsftreet. wfitnation, saying that
the city should pave the road without
assistance from the county and state.
He added that the St. Simon highway
Is as much as the county can handle
at this timt*.
Short talks were made by others
concerning both the Norwich street
amt St. Simon projects, and these
two Important undertakings were
clearly defined, and a great deal of
progress made towards their accent
plishtnent.
A motion was made and carried
that ths* secretary and treasurer of
the club be relieved from the payment
of dues or other charges in connection
with the weekly meetings.
Manager Jack Gardner, of the Roy
at, sustained his reputation as host by
providing one of the best luncheons
•njoyed by the club tn weeks.
