HOQUIAM TO PAVE.
Property Owners Hold Big Meeting
and Unanimously Decide Upon
Bitulithic.
The progressive element in Hoquiam
has won out, according to the Hoquiam
"Washingtonian," from which the fol
lowing article is taken:
"Bitulithic for First and Fourth streets
was decided on last night at a meeting
of property owners along the two thor
oughfares. The council let the contract
to M. 1). Hogan, who submitted the
lowest bitulitbic bid. A large number
of property owners were present. Od
account of the noise which the brick
pavement causes, the board of educa
tion favored bitulithic. The majority
of citizens seem to agree with the board.
No one voted for asphalt."
