There is a ledge on Front street opposite
the buildings of the F. W. White Co., which
makes an incline to the street that is very
troublesome in winter and spring. Last
week the city council committee on high
ways decided to remove enough of this ledge
to secure good grade, Mr.. White offering
to furnish coal and water and to haul Mr..
Ulmer's steam drill to the scene of opera
tlons. Work was begun Monday and is pro-
crossing favorably. AS much heavy teaming
is done on this street the improvement will
be very acceptable to many.
The work on the sewer extension is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and by the time
this item is before our readers the pipe will
have been laid on Church street The con.
tractors are making good progress on Grove
street, finding less ledge than anticipated,
and when the work is done an important
part of our sewer system will have been
completed at a saving of about $500 from the
estimates. This, with the good work done
on the streets and sidewalks, speaks we'll for
the new city government.
