 WARREN eo .,
Force of Men Now at Work Grading Streets - Parking System lnstalled-WiII Be City of Homes.

The work of preparing the Warren towustte for the public is now well under way, and it will probably not be very long before a definite day is set for the placing of lots in the new town on sale. All of the detail work In connection with the plans for the townsite have been completed, and for the past couple of weeks a large force of men has been constantly em- pleyed grading what will be the main street of the new city, and doing such incidental work as must be complet- ed before it will be practicable to start building.
 The first ground on the Warren townsite was broken by Mrs. Seth E.. Hazard very close to the foothills on the southeastern corner of the town site couple of weeks ago, and at the head of what will be the main street of the city. A force of men was i'm mediateH put to work grading this street, and at the present time 4000 feet of the thoroughfare have been graded. This street will be 110 feet wide, and will run directly through the city.
 At the lower end of the main street the railroad depot will be erected, and adequate facilities for swithing will be allowed.
 One of the features of the new town, which will not only beautify the city. but will also afford the children a playground. Is the vista. The vista will be 5000 feet in length, 200 feet wide at the lower end, and 300 feet wide at the upper end This will be arranged in a system of small parks throughout
 The exact locations for the water works and electric lighting plant have not been selected as yet, but this mat 1 ter will be attended to in the very near future.
 The first section of the townsite which wifi be occupied. and which will form the nucleus of the city, is the part situated in the basin formed by the surrounding hills. As the town grows the small hills surrounding the city will be occupied, and the streets in this section have been so arranged that no driveway is more than five per cent grade. On these small hills the streets will be built around and around, each new turn of the road be- ing far enough distant from the pre- ceding one to leave plenty of room for the construction of two house. one facing each road.
 The houses on these hills will also be arranged in such a way that the occupants of each house will have an unobstructed view of the rest of the city.
 The projected street car line will occupy the middle of the main street. The matter of naming the streets Of the new city is now under consid- eration, and from reliable authority It IS learned that there are several plans now in view. One of these | plans is to rame the streets of the city after the pioneers of the Warren Mining District, and the other is to select euphonious Spanish names It is understood, however, that the plan to name the streets after the pioneers of the district will probably receive the preference. In this event, the main street of the city would be nam led Warren Avenue. or Warren street. in memory of George Warren, who is lNO@NSo NPSh oo t4C ioSdSoi ol tuc trict.
 The entire townsite has been laid out in accordance with the ideas of men who are high in their respective professions. Warren H. Manning the well known landscape engineer, was consulted on matters pertaining to the arrangement of the townsite. Manning's ability in this matter is testified to by the fact that he has been selected to formulate the plans for the laying out of the Jamestown, Va, exposition, which is now in con temptation.
 On the matter of the architecture
 Huger c. Elliott, professor of archi
 lecture at Pennsylvania University
 was called into consultation. | There Is no doubt but that the res i town will be q ns,5ei oi modern city building, and vii .,e f sLen a eharac ter that the men who are employed in
 the district will have place to bring
 their families. It will be a city oi homes, and not of boarding houses
 which form no attraction except as a place to live while earning enough to move elsewhere.
 In the bonding of the town of War ren, the mining companies have only been following out the plan which
 worked so successfully at Calumet
