will discard belts, in running it, and in
stead will use an endless hemp rope, ABOUT

Plans have been prepared at the office OF
the City Engineer for the improvement of
Caldwell's run, from McCulloch street
east to the city line, distance of about
half a mile The plan contemplates the
location of the bed Of the run on the
south side of Twenty-ninth street, the en-
tire distance, and its ultimate retention
there by means either of rip-rapping or
stone wall The city has been spending
from two to three thousand dollars on this
run right along, every year, with the result
that it is always in bad condition, and
liable TO do lots of damage atevery freshet
The engineers are of the opinion that the
only remedy is TO fix it right, along its en-
tire length.

so many motions each time. There is no
need OF cutting a man while shaving
