By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md., March 12. —Substitution of a program ‘of sidewalk | construction along Central avenue and other important thoroughfares here in place of a proposed street improvement plan advanced by their mayor was de- | cided upon by the Town Council of Cap- itol Heights last night. Mayor Thomas J. Luckett Suh'nmcd a plan calling for the borrowing of | 500 to be used in building macadam ads. The council felt, however, that side- | walks were even more needed than roads and voted to hold a special meeting Friday night when it would be decided whether or not the loan would be ob- tained. Among the sidewalks “hich the coun- | cil felt were urgently needed at this time | were ones to run along the south side of Central avenue from Sixty-first street to the District Zine and along the north | side of the same thoroughfare from Cen- | tral Avenue Bridge to the District line. Property owners along the north side | would be asked to donate 10 feet of |ground for the pavements, it developed at the meeting, while those on the south | side where the property is owned by the State would be ussessed one-half the cost of construction. The council went on record in favor | | of the reappointment of John E. Weast as justice of peace and will request such a reappointment in a letter to Gov.
