Mr. Marble stated that the cost of street paving was placed at $10.00 per twenty-five foot lot, curb and gutter at 30¢ a lineal foot, and sidewalks at 50¢ per lineal foot. That the money for the improving of a full block for street work only must be in the hands of the clerk before said improvement could be started, but that it was only necessary for a half a block to be signed for and paid to have the curb and gutter improved and that the City would put in sidewalks in 50 foot strips any place in the City. No definite action was taken at this time.
