MORE HASTE LESS SPEED.--EditOr Star -
About six weeks ago the writer and his neigh
take up their brick sidewalks right away, or
the street contractor would do it for them and
confiscate the materials. Some pleaded for a
day or two's delay-it then being Saturday-but

provement must go on, there was going to be
come, at great inconvenience to some of the
residents, who have been compelled to wade
through wet sand and black mud and pasty CLAW
ever since, and no signs Of any attempt to finish

sidewalks come up? That is what bothers
