takes it complete and will have it

shop back 100 feet or putting an iron
fence twenty feet high in front of it.
The last time the Sky Scraper'' was
run out to go to II fire the tillerman
failed to turn the machine and the I'M
wieldy thing was run directly across
the street, breaking Smiths barber
poles and creating dire havoc among
the people on the walk. Why not saw
it into three pieces and run it in sec
tions?

gin paving on Sixth street, between
First and Fifth This street is
to be paved with cypress blocks. The
work on Willow avenue, from Pearl

with brick for three blocks, but it is
probable tina the plan will be changed

paving, which will be along Bayliss
park. The remainder of the street will
be paved with cypress.
