Johnson of Raleigh, who is a member of the good roads faciion ia North Carolina, which includes streets as veil, was interviewed by a News reporter j'.ist before his return to Raleigh after the sessions of the Carolina Municipal Association in Charlotte and talked interestingly of Raleigh's scheme for building new and modern streets on a 5-years-to-pay basis to propertyholders. w hile the citizens pay but one-fourth of the cost approximately, on each side of any street that may be designated for improvement. Said Mayor Johnson to The News reporter: "We have begun the work of street building in Raleigh only recently, hav ing a few weeks ago realized a hand tome premium on a bond issue of $100,000 sold by the municipality, the price which these bonds brought be ins unusually good, we thought, the figure in the parlamace of the bond brokers being 101.5S3." "This money," said Raleigh's may or, "will eventually yield us about $200,000 for early use in street build ing. I figure this out in this way: We charge the citizens L'5 per cent of the total "cost and the street railway is required to rave the space between its tracks and 12 inches on either side. The property owners have 5 years in which to pay their assessments, or they may pay cash. In either event their assessments yield either ready money or good negotiable paper, since their "debt to the' city for paving con stitutes a lien on their property, and as such makes a species of paper that I am sure can "be sold and the money thereon realized at a fair figure. Thus the city has its original $100,000, and an equal amount realized from prop erty owners who pay one-fourth on each side or one-half of the whole cost of paving these streets, while it is figured that this negotiable paper can shortly be utilized for new work by the city. "We believe that the start made will be but the beginning. Raleigh's central portion has been well-paved for some years so that the money available will be utilized largely in the residence sections and thus we expect to accomplish much towards paving the main streets that all run towards the center of the city." Brick Too Expensive. "Brick make a most excellent and lasting form of paving but the present price of that article is prohibitive and therefore is eliminated from consid eration, but there are other good ma terials which we will use, similar to some of those utilized in your city here." . Mayor Johnson is much pleased with the beginning that has been mad in his city and believes that many ad ditions will soon be made possible to the work now being mapped cut The Big Celebration will brine: hundreds of visitors to the city and we extend a special invitation to visit our store, (one of the largest in the South.) aivi see our immense stock of fine Geld Jewelry, Cut Gla.s and Silver.
