says the tunnel is completed and 1t is
expected the rest of the work will be
finished week from Saturday. There
is about 5000 fest OF fiume to build
and some widening to do.
Our attention has been called to the
dangerousc condition OF the sidewalk
| opposite The Herald office. Some OF
these dark nights some Of us news
paper people may get on high lone
some and without a railing for sup
port may fall overheard and then the
city viii have suit for damages. 1t
is unwise to permit a trap of this
kind to exist, hence this notice to the
proper authorities.
In the report OF the council proceed
ings yesterday it was stated that city
treasurer received $3.50 per year.

salary Is only $50 a year and this
has to be paid out for Fidelity bond,
which makes 1t the same as no salary
at all. The Herald has always con-
tended for equitable pay for any kind
of official work and in return good
service.

the pupils what their future intentions
were as to occupations. Master

Q ton was to be a married woman. Then
= came Master Day, son of Joe, who re-
e piled that he was going to be a farm
err. The teacher said that was good
