destroy the efficiency OF the official
machinery through which they learned
the present situation, early knowledge

the change in the price Of cotton over

the growers and the country from
much larger losses than would other

for improved sidewalks began, there
was, probably, not more than mile Of
stone or concrete walks in the city,
outside the business section, and that
had been built by private enterprise.
The sidewalks, or, rather, the absence
of them, was public disgrace, and it
was decided to enter upon program
OF improvement in this respect that
should place the city in the foremost
rank among commuties of its size, and
how we'll it has succeeded may be
judged by the fact that within the last
eighteen months it has spent $84 300
for that purpose.
In the four grading districts of the
city, which were created under
the provisions of the state statutes,
there has been constructed, during the
last year and half, $50, ,558 square feet
of concrete sidewalks, or little more
than twenty-five and one-third miles.
In addition there was built, during the
same period, boil linear feet of cross

A similar criticism came from one
who suffered, not from overrefine-
ment. but from something quite diff
ferent. She was woman OF recently
acquired wealth. who went into an art
gallery and asked for painting Of a
certain size. Il have just what you
want" said the dealer. He showed
her beautiful animal painting, but
she looked at 1t for few minutes and

fourths miles, making total Of about
twenty five miles.
These Improvements, as we have al
ready stated, cost the property owners
$94 300, Of which 10000 WIS for the
construction of sidewalks. SIG, 900 for
crosswalks, $1,000 for grading and
1000 for engineering and incidental
expenses.
The work, as rule, has been we'll
done and it would be hard to find ia Z
payer who will say that the money has
not been we'll invested, or that the
walks are not worth every cent they
cost. With the walks constructed be-
fore the present era of street improve
ment began, in the residence and busi-
ness portions Of the city, added to what
has been built since, it 10 safe to say
that Canon City has more concrete
sidewalks than any other community
of its size in the state.

when the plnas were finally approved
that the board advertise for bids for a
wooden, plain brick and pressed brick
structure. He discussed the motives of
different persons for wanting different
kinds of building, and thought that
most persons who were strong in their
prejudices for one thing or another
might be influenced by different mo
tives He said all architects seemed ia
agree on brick, and suggested that pos
sibly their motive was to increase the
price, and thus swell their commissions
Mr.. Lee suggested that it would be
