TO PAVE DEPOT SQUARE.
Some Of the Members Of City Government in
Favor OF the Plan.

The prospect is a t present that at tho
next meeting of the city government
an order will be presented for paving
Depot square. The matter is being
generally talked by the members of the
city government and nearly all are IN
favor of the idea.
1t has been necessary for a good
many years to make repairs on this
section of the city each year The re-
pairs that have been made to the road
have been filling in with gravel
The repairs have never been in the
line of permanent improvements from
the reason that the gravel was washed
away in the spring, leaving the road
in the square one bed of mud During
the summer it has been necessary to
again fill in the road in order to keen
the square in good condition.
For some years different members of
the city government have talked over
the plan of paving the square but each
year the city has felt that the work
could not be afforded. This year an
unusual condition of affairs is present.
ed. On account of the slight demand
for paving stones there are an unusual
quantity at the granite works in Hal
lowell. These can be bought at a price
much below the average.
The members of the city government
have come to the conclusion that all
the money spent in putting gravel on
the square is, in measure, money
thrown away, and are now out for a
plan by which the money used for re-
pairs in the square will be in line of
permanent improvements. For this
reason the more shrewd members of
the government are in favor of the
plan.
. 1t looks now as though there would
be a balance from the appropriations
made in the spring for running the city.
This balance, the members propose to

use in paving the square. Even if
there isn't a balance there will be sew
eral thousand dollars coming in from
the town Of Pittston on the bridge, for
which Gardiner paid when built. On
account of this there will be no lack
of funds with which to do the work.
Again, those who are in favor of hav-
ing the work done point TO the fact that
Augusta was able, Saturday, to make
contracts for having it's paving done
for 81 a square yard. where it formerly
cost $3.50. The far seeing members be-
lieve 1t will be an economic stroke to
have the work which must be done
some time, pushed through this year.
Mayor Walker has expressed himself
in favor of the idea and the probability
is that an order for doing the work will
be presented at the next meeting of the
city government
From the fact that the Maine Cen
trail Railroad paid for having part
of the work done at Waterville, it is
believed that the railroad managers
will do similar thing in this city.

THEY DIDN'T STRIKE.
Lowell Lathcrs Will Finish Jobs Before De-.
handing Return Of Wages.

Lowell, Mass, July 1S.-The local lath-
ers did not strike, today, as It is their in
tention to finish up the jobs upon which
they are working before demanding the
restoration of last summers rate of
wages. They expect to have these jobs
completed, "Wednesday morning, and Will
hold meeting, Wednesday evening, to
take action upon the matter. They are
sanguine of winning their point without
resorting to a general strike.
Their average rate of wages is 81 per
thousand. They have already served mo-
tice upon their employers that they de-
mani Sl.15 per thousand. this week. 1t
IS customary to cut the rates in the fall.
when work is slack. and then to restore
the old rate in the spring.
Inc fathers attribute the failure of the
contractors to restore the standard rate,
this year. to internal dissensons among
the lathers, whereby one will work at cut
rates for the sole purpose of injuring an
other.
