country.
THE statement of Mr. Guy A.
Wagner. President OF the Chancery
Hill Company, in reference to the
bridge from South Main Street to that
property ought to be conclusive. Mr..
Wagner says over his own signature
that the iron for the structure is be-
ing made and we learn it is almost
completed. The work OF putting it
up will begin as soon as the material
is received. The completion of the
bridge will fix the value of Chancery
Hill property. 1t is already regarded
as the most desirable suburb of the
city.

looking at it from the front side il
is difficult matter to detect it from

is blurred and is rather poor. Tht
ring of the coin. as it is tossed or
the counter, is fairly good.
