Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany Secures Work on First
and Second Avenues
WORK TO BEGIN NEXT MONDAY
Paving Let at Same Figure as in the
Other Work, s1.e7-slisht Increase in
Curling, Owing to Change in speci-
Geations-van Law Suggests as to
Assessment Levies = Council News.

The city council, at its adjourned
meeting Wednesday night, let the con
tract for the paving of North First
and Second avenues with asphalt. The
Barber Asphalt Paving Company was
the successful bidder, at the same price
for the pavement hat has been in force
on the other work done this season,
t1.97 per square yard. There is a
slight advance in the cost of combined
curb and gutter, owing to the city's
specifications, which call for the use
nf one-fifth more cement The Barber
company's bid was $1.97 per squar
yard for paving: 60 cents per lineal foot
for combined curb and gutter; 80 cents
per cubic yard for extra grading; IL
cents per cubic yard tor every 200 feet
Of extra hauling over 1900 feet.
The only difference in the bid over
the usual run Is in the curbing, and this;
Is an increase Of 4 cents over what the
combined curb and gutter has been let
for heretofore. The a is due
to the fact that the council ordered the
specifications changed. on the advice OF
City Engineer Bremner, who considers;
that a better curling may be obtained
BY the use of one-fifth more cement.
While the present curbing is good. and
gives promise of proving very salts
factory, a better curbing a be laid
the council thinks. For that reason
The specifications were changed. The

DAMAGE TO CORN.
Heavy Frost Kills Late Planting in
Vienna Township.

Reports of Wednesday nights frost
from the neighborhood of Green Noun
tain, state that damage done to the
corn will be considerable, especially to
the late spring planting. The frost was
quite heavy, the ground early this NOR
ming, being white with the crystals.
While it is thought that the damage to
the corn planted earlier will not be very
great. 1t is believed considerable loss
will be sustained by those who were
compelled to replant on account of the
wet weather of the early summer.

In the name of Organized Labor, as

WATER-BOUND
PASSENGERS LEAVING TRAINS
TRACKS WASHED OUT.
Worst Seems to Be Over, as Crest Has
Passed Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, March 19.-It is be-
lieved tonight that the crest of the Mis-
sissippi river flood has reached Mem
phis and that fall will begin within
less than twenty-four hours. However.
the conditions that exist above Memphis
with the gap in the levee at Trice's Land
ing, Ark, made a most difficult and I'M
certain matter to forecast what is likely
to occur in the flood situation.
The gauge tonight shows 40 feet and
hours. While the crevasse has not wild
ened to any appreciable degree, the levee
is overtopped a short distance further
to the north and the flooded Mississippi
is discharging much water at both this
point and at the crevasse.
difference of between four and five
feet exists in the height of the water on
either side of the leve at tn crevasse and
the rush of water through the opening
is terrific. The st. Francis levee board
today made a second effort to send the
tug Diana and a barge through the crew
asse TO assist in rescuing people and live
stock from the flooded area in Arkan-
sas. but the idea was abandoned as the
fall is so great and the rush of water
so strong that it was feared the tug could
not safely pass through.
Today's reports from the flooded Ar
kansas district are more favorable. The
Frisco succeeded in running a relief train
TO Marion from the west, but persons
there declined to leave their homes, as
they take the view that they are in no
danger at present.
All passengers from the waterbound
trains across the river were brought to
the city today. No repairs have been
made in the washed out tracks and no
forecast can be made as to when traffic
may be resumed to the west. The Yazoo
sumed through operations over its ows
line to New Orleans.
Tonight Mayor Williams sent a tele-
gram to Secretary of War Root. asking
If the secretary could furnish several
hundred tents TO aid in caring for food
refugees flocking into Memphis.
New Orleans, March 1e.-The river gauge
tonight is 1919, one-tenth below the pre-
vious high record. The weather is fine.
much work has been done and the lines
stand solid. The river is going much
higher. but the levees in the city and
most of the banks in the state are built
and prepared for several feet more of
water. so that the engineers still see no
cause for uneasiness.
Vicksburg Miss. March 19-The first
sign of a break in the levees on the Mis-
sissippi side is reported from Duvalls.
in Issaquena county, tonight At that
point the levee is a new one and adjoin-
ing il on the south is a private embank
ment. over this latter the water is run
ming tonight at rapidly increasing rate
and the forces al hand are said to be
unable TO check the flow. The govern
ment levee is also in imminent peril and
grave fears for its safety are entertained.
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
road bridge spanning the Yazoo river
eight miles north Of this city. is almost
covered with water tonight and probably
will be entirely so in twenty-four hours.
