(o»t To Be Cheaper.
Specifications have been prepared by
the city engineering department on sev-
eral types of paving on which contrac-
tors will la1 asked to bid. Included
are Oklahoma rock asphalt, Uvalde
rock asphalt, reenforced concrete, as
phaltlc. brick asphaltic macadam, ma-
chine-mixed or asphc.lt tc macadam,
peuciruliiui method. The cost of all of
tune* ty|K>s Is exiwcted to be substau
tislly lower than Ihe cost of the work
under the last contract, and a propor-
tionately greater amount of paving will
he done Another factor which will in-
crease the amoitut If paving put down
with this Issue Is the comparatively
email umouut of eity-ow ned property
to lie paved ou the afreets Included,
whereas undei tbe last contract there
was an unusually large number of eity-
owued tracts. Including parks fire st«-
tlou. and schools, to be paved.
Better Terms Offered
More advantageous tennis than were
evi»r offered property owners for pay-
ing for paving assessments are provid-
ed under the terms of the ordinances
atm ted through Monday evening.
These provide that owners ms.t pay
either cash or under this arrangement
30 per i ent of the assessment down and
tlu> balance In four annual peymeuts of
20 pei cent, with 8 per cent Interest
charged on the part carried Contrac-
tor* taking the work Will be required
to accept Hits provlirton. it Is believed
that It will remove practically all fi-
nancial obstacles In Ihe way of ownera
being able to meet paving costs.
A total of $53,018.3$ was In the
afreet improvement Bind Tuesday as
proceed* from the $50,000 street paving
Issue. Tlie paving program will mean
the expenditure of about $1(10.000 for
public Improvement purposes In 8b<*r^

one-third of the amount, to be expended.
