part of Gladstone avenue and a large
gang OF men were at work there. The road
has been in pad condition for some time,
but il will now be equal to any in this

street will be completed today.

doors of the Branch avenue grammar

noon.
The alarm OF fire rung in from box 81
on Olney street last night was a false me-.

gated, got the keys from the pumping
station and gave the fire department a
foolish run.
