these reports it is hard at present to de-
termine. The result of investigations

city do not confirm the reports. In ev-

this week to look after the stone crusher
sold to the city by the firm he repre-

ordered the pieces shipped to this place
by express. 1t is expected these pieces
will arrive here by the last OF the week,
when the machine will be inspected by
the purchasing committee Of council
and accepted. The machine will be all
repaired in time for the street improve
ments, which cannot be commenced be-
fore some time in May.
