MOVING SIDEWALK.
The Plan Of Those Behind the Win.
throp Hill Scheme.

Since the passage of the order by the
city council, Monday evening. granting
a location for a moving sidewalk, OF
tramway, on Winthrop street. between
Dickman street and State street, there
has been much speculation INDUCED III,
regarding the possibilities of the pro-
ject taking form. Naturally, the
scheme Is at present very much in the
shape of an air castle, and it's introduce
ton will depend to certain extent
upon the support given by the citizens.
The promoters were given the right to
build bya special act of the Legislature,
last winter, and now that they have
secured a location, will probably build
if they have sufficient encouragement.
The proposed location is on the north
side of the street, between the highway
and the sidewalk, and one plan Is to lay
two narrow gauge tracks with car on
EACH the cars to be operated by a cable,
| which would pass around drum at the
upper terminus Of the road. A car
| would be attached ito each end of the
cable, SO that when one car was at the
| top of the hill, the other would be at
the bottom.
This is but one plan, and in case the
road is built, the best plan will of
course be worked out. 1t is intended to
use electricity for the motive power.
The length of the line between the two
points above mentioned is 625 feet, and
! it is calculated that the ascent will be
made in about two minutes. The cost
of introducing the road would not be
I heavy, nor would the operating eX-
penses be large, and with some encour-
agement on the part of the citizens
there is probability that the scheme
will materialiZe.

Cummings &, Milliken are getting
ready to operate in the lumber business
in three places. this winter. They have
mills at Manchester, SOmerville and
Warren, and are waiting for snow to
come in order to begin operations by
hauling logs to the mills. They own
large tracts of timber land at the two
latter places and their cut will be
large one. Mr.. Cummings will ship a
number of horses to Warren within a
few days.

Charles Tabor, who lives on the east
side of the river, wears, without doubt.
the oldest overcoat in the city, or in the
three cities. To look at the coat, one
would not think that it had reached an
advanced age. but such is the case, for
the coat was bought in England in 1867,
and figures do not misrepresent. Inc
coat is made of blue pilot cloth. with
seal skin collar, and though it has been
worn every winter since it was bought,
it still looks better than some coats do
after a service of two years.

The fire department boys have made
arrangements for their new uniforms,
which are to be of blue cloth. and the
boys are looking forward to their ar
rival with great anticipation. There
will be fifteen in all.
Last month was the banner month
in fire alarms in the history of the
department. There were eight
alarms turned into headquarters. sew
eral of them being heavy fires In
July of last year there were six and
it was thought to be a bad month.
The council has provided for the
fire department new hose dryer
which will add greatly TO the conven-
ience of that part of the equipment of
the department. The new arrange
ment is composed of box like affair.
which has funnel heating attach
ment that allows the hot air to enter
the box, where the hose is arranged
on racks. The new method permits
1900 feet of hose to be dried at one
time. where otherwise it had to lay
on the sidewalk to freeze dry in win
ter and to sun dry in summer. The
old way was injurious to the hose and
the new arrangement will doubtless
save more than its cost in the pfeser-
vation of the hose.

FINISHED TODAY

That much desired improvement of
the road leading into the state bridge
at the end of fifth street, from the
south side. was practically finished
yesterday and that terror to the driv-
mig public will soon be memory
only.
The roadway leading through the
bluff up TO the time the changes were
begun was from 10 to IS feet wide,
with no slope whatever to the precip-
itous banks. 1t was very steep and
the grade through this narrow pass
to Is per cent.
For years the residents of that side
of the river and all the Whitewater
section, which use the bridge to come
to this city have been protesting
about its condition. but the board OF
county commissioners have not felt
able until lately to spend the neces-
sary sum upon betterments which the
road seemed to require.
The work which is now practical
ly completed gives a roadway of suffi-
! cient width for all practical purposes
| and reduces the danger to mini
| mum. The roadway in the clear at
the bottom is twenty-five feet wide
for it's entire length. The grade has
been reduced to between ten and
| twelve per cent varying at different
points of the road The banks have
been sloped 1 = feet to one foot in
every several feet. so that the road
does not have such threatening as
pect to man or beast as they enter it
to reach the bridge.
| In the work that has been done
upon the road were there removed be-
| tween $500 and 1000 Gu. yds. ap-
proXimately, of dirt.
The contract price of the work was
81 $50 and there has never been better
| money spent in the country than this
sum leading to and from the bridge
Samuel J. Higgins of the Plateau
contry had the work in charge and
Engineer Haskell, under whose charge
| the work had been performed. says
| that the work has heen done we'll.
Engineer Haskell also states that a
great deal of credit is due Commits
sioner James H. Smith for the very
active participation which he had in
the labors in inspecting etc. He took
| great personal interest in having
| the work thoroughly done and has
given a great deal of time and atten-
| tion to the work.
The inspection of the road was
| made Monday by Engineer Haskell
and its acceptance was completed to-
day. after the commissioners. as Il
body went to the bridge and made a
close inspection of the work.
Everyone who has had or ever will
have occasion to use the bridge to
drive upon the Mesa will be glad that
| the work has been completed and a
danger spot obliterated.
