STREET PAVING PROBLEM
Councilmen Debating Whether IL
Postpone Work TIN Spring.

Skilled Engineer to Investigate and

Have to Be Torn Out.

Have to Be Torn Out.
Whether to pave Queen street
with brick this fall or to allow
the work to remain over until
next spring, is the problem that
Is being discussed among the
members Of the city council
with good deal Of earnestness
at the present time, with til
prospect that the authorities
will not be able to fully agree.
Some Of the members Of the
council are for going ahead
with the work and getting the
street fixed up before winter
comes, while others Insist that
the work Of placing the brick
remain over until spring. The
adherents of the latter plan urge
the very important reason for
postponement, that the earth
taken from the excavation
down the center of the street
will not be settled to its final
position in time to allow the
work TO be finished this fall,
and declare that unless the
earth is allowed 20 become firm
there will be q fall Of the brick
in the center Of the street Ak
the earth settles after the pave
ment is laid. In support Of
this contention they cite the
experience Of contractors with
whom they have talked, and
who declare that the work will
turn out badly unless the earth
is of even firmness all over the
street. They also say that ii Id
impossible to lamp the earth
as hard as it was before it was
removed
On the other hand, those who
favor laying the pavement this
all say that the earth Is hard
enough, and point to the fact
that after the earth was return
ed to the ditch it didn't quiz
| fill il to a level with the other
portion Of the street, showing
that it was harder than before.
This argument seems To be
faulty, from the fact that a
number Of crossties were re-
moved and that the bulk Of the
fold cement pipes was much
greater than the bulk Of the
new iron pipes, although the
inside diameter was the same.
1t is claimed also that passing
vehicles carried away much of
the earth while it was soft and
distributed iton the side streets.
1t is stated that the material
that was not replaced in the ex.
cavation would fill the slight
hollow two or three times, and
that it is impossible to tanap
the earth to the same degree Of
firmness as before. Those who
advise waiting until spring say
it is better not to do the work
at all than to make a botch Of
lit, and be compelled to take
the brick up again and relay y
after the earth has settled.
Another question that con.
fronts the council is whether to
allow the concrete cutters To.
remain, or to tear them up and
replace them with brick. Mem
beers Of the street committee say
that if the cutters have been
properly graded the old ones
viii be allowed to stay and new
ones put in, and the brick paw
ing brought to the edge. In
order to settle this matter, Ems
gineer Carmichael, of the Wa
bash construction work, has
been invited to make Fan en-
animation Of the street and give
an opinior.

green net. exactly matching the shade of
the liberty satin, and was laid over an

an deliberately embroidered pattern wrought
in silver threads and tiny green ribbons
which closely covered the net so that very
little of the green showed.
A row of silver sequins was sewed on
the extreme edge of the net founce and
larger silver paillettes made heading for

ornaments were placed a little less than

in mind for the woman who has been dis
appointed in the way her mauve and gray
gowns light up, or rather fail to do So
Today's gown was designed especially for
one of eur prominent actresses, and the
soft, leaf-green tint looked stunning upon
her. She has more than the usual amount
of red in her cheeks, clear brown eyes and
dark hair. 1t goes without saying that her
figure is slender, svelte and graceful. Given
these attributes it is not difficult to de-
sign an appropriate gown once the color
is determined.
