Main Street Pavement

It is said that all the preliminaries
have been arranged between the repre-
sentatives of the Main-street asphalt
paving contractors and the committee
of the city council to supervise the relay
ing of the asphalt surface, and that the
work of tearing up the present surface
will begin on Monday. c. L. Powell has
the contract for relaying the asphalt,
and will push the work as rapidly as
possible. 1t is believed that the work will
be completed in sections of two blocks
and warrants issued as the work pro-
crosses, in order that the contractors
may get their money as soon as possible.
This is permitted under the law, and as
the contractors seem disposed to do ev-
erything in good faith, this concession
will probably be made. AS result OF
the rejection of the asphalt work in the
first instance, 1t will cost those who
have not yet paid their assessments at
least 10 per cent more than those who
have. The contractors offered rebate
of 10 per cent to all who would pay up
their assessments, and a number TOOK
advantage of the offer Those who did
not will now have to pay the full amount
Of the contract. This will almost pay
for the relaying of the asphalt. so that
the contractors will really lose very lit
tie by the operation.

Truman Street Job

1t is reported about the city hall that
there will proba bly, be a lively discus
sion in the council next Monday over the
Truman street job. 1t is claimed that
Councilman Nickel has proof that
Rushton, the leader of the protestants,
told Contractor Haigler that he would
withdraw his objections if the contrac-
tors would take off his assessment and
allow a so per cent rebate to two of his
friends Mr.. Nickel says that he in
tends TO have Mr.. Haigler come before
the council and tell what he knows,
and that If he refuses. he, for one, will
vote against the acceptance of the street
until he does. He says that if any one
is using the council for the purpose OF
getting out of the payment of his as
sessments, he wants to know it, He is
perfectly willing to stand by the people
and see that they get full value for their
money, but that he does not propose TO
sanction any extortion on either side.

New Hook and Ladder Truck

Chief Moore and Assistant Chief Ed
Smith of the fire department are anx-
iously awaiting the arrival of the new
hook and ladder truck, which may now
be looked for at any time. Assistant
Smith has the fine three-horse team all
ready and is now exercising them daily
to get them in proper condition. The
horses will weigh about 1900 pound each,
or 4500 for the three, and is said to be
the best team in any fire department
west of the Rockies. The boys expect to
make the truck the feature of their Sec
ton of the parade and it will be great
disappointment to the entire department
If there should be any delay which will

things up as rapidly as possible, and it
will not be the fault of the officials at
this end of the line if it is not here. 1t
will take day or two to set the truck up
after its arrival.
