EDINBURG—Edinburg has com-
pleted the paving of 11 blocks of
streets in its new pay-as-you-go
improvement program at a cost ot
about $300 per block. Mayor A. A
Aldrich revealed Saturday.
"We found we were able to do
the work with city laborers at a
cost approximately that under the
WPA program,” the mayor said, "so
that is why we have undertaken
the project.”
Work and materials on all save
four of the blocks have been paid
for already.
The city puts up $100 and the
property owners $200 per block of
pavement, he explains. Thus far
the city has spent exactly $1,100
and the lot owners have provided
the remainder of the $3,000 cost
The mayor said the program has
proved attractive to property own-
ers because no debts against the
property, such as paving liens, are
left "hanging fire.” The work is
not undertaken unless both city
and property owners' funds are on
hand or are in sight for a given
block.
"This work will continue Indef-
initely,” Mayor Aldrich asserted
. We are hampered somewhat right
now by lack of equipment but I
plan to ask the city commissioners
to allow the inspection of and pur-
chase of a piece of machinery in the
near future which will help us a
