would have found that the parties
implicated as Vioiators OF the law "a
this instance. are not only bulidiI.*
fifteen feet in the air, over their own
ground. but are serving the city
double benefaction thereby. FIrSt,
they are giving to the use of the
public about three feet OF additions
paved walk gratis. in front OF their
property, and second. they are fi'rr-
:ehing free and withOGE obstruction,
a protection to pedestrians from the
heat and storm when needed. 1t was
no doubt SO decided by the mayor
and his advisers, called upon by the.
formal complaint TO Investigate ;he
matter In consequence thereof the
Improvement goes on with public and
official approval. and we should glad
" welcome more Of them
Calvin McCloy has nearly corr

Morgantown avenue in the Morrow
addition This Will add another far,
ily TO the call for the street pavement
to Maple Grove cemetery
We take space to add in this coz
nection. but not by way of repetition.
that the projectors of the contempla
ted street paving OF Morgantown
avenue were out on the line yeste:-
day reviewing the work to be done.
and maturing plans Of operation. We
are glad to note that interest in the
matter, is still alive. and that those:
to whom it has been committed are
ready to act as soon as they see their
way clear to do SO. With the neceS-
sary amount so nearly secured, the
people clamurinS for the long needed
Improvement. and those having sNh-
Scribed being anxious that the work
be done or they be released, the time
to begin is now, before reaction or
sentiment by reason Of delay. renders
it impossible of realization for years
to come. Others have sjgnitied the;T
willingness to assist when they see
TIE work begin. and are assured G!
its early Onpletion. Let the super
intendent be selected, or call issued
for men and teams at fair compeE.
sation. during the present lull along
the line OF other business activities
and enough Will respond, both from
the city and country around who will
be profited thereby. TO push the work
to immediate completion. The condi-
lions are favorable. the people ready,
and the season propitious- All that is
now needed is little more pluck
and perseverance: not less interest.
but little more money; fewer prom
ises, and more OF ful6llment; less
words of doubt and hauling fear, bus
more energy and will put forth IN
earnest execution. Then the sula':
amount yet needed will be forthcor
ing. the work accOmp lshed, the best
interests of our city be conserved, anG
all will rejoice together over the tr;-
umph achieved for the public good.
Our present virtue is in action, not
dallying but doing.
Ecllles and Simons, the hustling
merchants on Water street, are just
now increasing their stock by full
car of fine -four They are also en-
rolled among the ardent patrons Of
the Daily West NirSinian.
Ashman Carpenter is building

Guffey street, below the Fairmont City
Hospital, which, when completed, will
contain fourteen rooms in all.
Reese r. Holland, who has been
confined to his home for some weeks
with kidney trouble, is reported to
be convalescing. We hope with con
tinued improvement, to see his genial
face soon again upon our streets.
Will Michael, the dairyman, took
his daughter for trip through South
