The city fathers or some one else
who seems to be in authority have in
augurated new thing in thu city in
the way of street paving. 1t is some
improvement over the old way.
Street crossings have been put down
made of lumber and formed in an oval
shape. In case of much rain and mud
it is not believed that the crossings
will become over one foot deep in
mud while they were two before this
recent improvement was discovered.
But there is another advantage that
all people do not seem TO understand
If the mud becomes over two feet deep
it can be shoveled off much more
easily than if there was no lumber or
other such material underneath. The
Progress never fails to make note of
the wonderful improvements of the
city, especially those on the streets.

that he is not in favor of statutory

months out Of the twelve. But, notwith-
standing the absence Of SO many Of the
heads and even of the assistant heads Of
departments, the work of the government
Is proceeding with unusual smoothness.
This fact was recently explained to your
correspondent by the statement that when
the heads of departments were out of the
city every employe was permitted to per-
form his duties without interference,
whereas when the secretaries, and partic-
ulaIly the members Of congress, were In
the city, there was constant interruption
and annoyance by the demands for special
service and for remunerative positions for
the friends and henchmen of members.

similar observation. He says that ever

ing to 'sdivorce the management Of the
