 Superintendent Doyle said yesterday that James street from River street to Grand avenue would probably be hardened this season. Although there is an appropria- tion for the work, with the pressing de- mands for street hardening in other sec- tions, it was not believed that James street could be reached this year. But with the additional road roller this pressing i'm provement will probably be reached. There is great demand for this hardening, as the traffic on James street is rapidly aug
 nenting and the poor condition of the roadway is lilly prepared for the traffic. The new road roller referred to is having ten days trial, and it works so we'll it is believed the city will buy at the price asked, 4,500. It is of greater capacity lighter, it's weight being twelve tons. It has a double engine, while the old roller has single engine. This gives greater
 power for propulsion and prevents the engine from stopping on the center. The
 greater part of the weight bears on the
 wheels or rollers,t and while the machine
 is lighter it rolls roadway better than
 the old roller. John J. Willmott of Grand
 avenue is the engineer on the new machine.
 He is an excellent engineer and the repre-
 sentative of the Harrisburg manufacturers
 gave him the praise of learning to run the machine very easily. He has served his young the city has good engineer in MT. Willmott.
