City Engineer Cairns said to-day
| that he cannot understand why there
is so much talk about getting the
streets leading TO the Mulcahy school
in proper condition for public use, so
| far as the children are concerned, any
way. The grades which will be used
| are available in his office and have
been for over q year so that if the
school children waded through mud
on the way to the school last winter 1t
was because no effort was made to do
anything with them. Mr. Cairns says
that both streets are now ready for
sidewalks and If somebody having au-
| thority to issue such an order would
tell him to put them down he would
have the job completed within II
| week.
! Mayor Elton and the members of the

good deal in their time and are ehoclx
full of interesting anecdotes and tales
of hair-lifting escapades connected with
| their experiences. Last evening the
mayor and Commissioners Wade and
Holmes told of some of their hazard
| Gus feats in the famous canyon at Col
orado and when they got through Mr.
| Jackson remarked that he believed it
required good deal of courage to go
through such places. adding that while
| this was true the man who had made
n trip to the Branch in DR. Cranes au'
tomobile shouldn't be overlooked when
the laurels were being passed around
I for deeds of daring. This was the
limit and the board Immediately adj
1ourned and went out to have a good
laugh.
