tractor Gleason is rapidly pushing his work on

sewer pipe laid in and covered as far west as

little blasting to be done, which will not take
much time. The deep cut on the corner OF High
and Bridge streets was fenced in to prevent
vehicles passing, which were delaying the work
where vehicles of all sizes can easily pass So
soen as Bridge street is reduced to the proper
grade, which will be shortly, there will be no
difhculty in passing, as il will not require more
than one hour to cut it down to the required
grade.
