take 600 loads of earth or gravel to
make the fill, and it has been decided

give every, one an opportunity to
help. AS there can be only a limited
number OF teams worked to advan-
tage at one time, it has been thought
best to begin at once and extend the
the time for week or ten days or un-
TIL the Job is completed, and you are
invited to come with your team any
day during the time mentioned and
give Mr.. Ward a lift. If convenient
bring a load of brush, it will help
take the place OF gravel. lfyou can
not bring team come with your
shovel, as extra men to shovel will be
needed.
