Board of Works Will Complete
Those Contracted for.
Sewerage should BE Extended Before

Comes.
$77 900 LEFT FROM BOND ISSUE

The board of public works is not
in favor OF building any new streets
this year other than those already
contracted for, Kentucky avenue,
from Fourth out to Ninth and Jeffer-
son from Fifth street to Ninth, and
the cross streets, Sixth, Seventh and
Ninth.
1--WE shall have all we can attend
to-" said member today, with this
work to give it the proper attention,
and moreover, we don't think it is
advisable to build any more streets
until ave get the sewerage system ex-
tended. | should like to see the sew
ers extended out from Ninth to the
city limits. and then Broadway i'm
proved from Ninth to Fountain ave-
nue.. II this is done the street car
company would put in double tracks
there, improving its service, and as
sist in making this a beautiful
street"
eve will, in addition to the streets
already contracted for. have to re-
build some of the outlying streets
and build some new ones, such a.
21st street. from the Hlnkleville road
to the union depot. This will be a
gravel street. We have about come to
the conclusion that we will have all
the gravel streets constructed from
now on built on a sub-foundation of
six inches of stone. We will use six
inches of good gravel on this and put
the proper crown on top which Will
give us an excellent street. The grav-
ell streets we now have have no crown
and the result is that water stands
on them. wagon soon makes a hole,
which is always a little pond, and wa
ter from this soaks into the founda-
ton and goes on to it's work, merrily,
OF damaging that street. Built right,
gravel streets will be as good a street
as we want for our outlying streets.
81 am in favor of the city secur-
ing a quarry and bringing this rock
here for the foundation work unde.
the streets, and also to be used to re-
pair the streets where they have been
torn up by plumbers and the gas peo-
pie. There is all the stone we want
within sixteen miles of the city and
the expense of getting 1t here would
be little. A rock pile could be estab-
lished and the labor then would be a
small item also"
The city has over $4,000 OF the
bond issue on hands now. and after
paying for the streets to be built this
year there should be a balance OF
$40, 600 to s25.OO0, and the officials
are In favor of suspending any other
street work until the sewers are
built, agreeing with the board oi
works that this should be done.

NEW CIVIL ENGINEER HERE.

The board of health held a meet
ing at the city hall this morning to
take up general business and to re-
ceive the report of the Meat, and
Milk Inspector.
1t has been suggested that the Of
flee of meat and milk inspector be
abolished, and the board today ap-
pointed a committee to go before
the council and urge that the Office
be continued.
There is no more important Of
fee than this one" said a member
of the board today. at is simply
imperative that the meat and milf
should be inspected, and wherever
any tainted meat or impure milk is
found, 1t should be Immediately de-
stroyed. At least half of the tuber-
culosis in the children is caused by
impure milk, and it Is increasing all
the time. To think of the prospects
of our being left to the mercy and
avarice of INSCRIPTIONS milk o.
meat dealers would appall anyone
who knew just what 1t means.
"Now, in the report of the inspec-
tor brought in today he cited several
cases where he had found decayed
and infected meats on the market,
and of one case where he found two
milch cows at one of the dairies with
tuberculosis in its most advanced
stage. Il is TO avoid this that we
want the office. tuberculosis is in
creasing everywhere each year, and
is making great ravages on the hu-
man family, and as we must safe
guard the health of the community
from danger from the disease in ev-
cry possible way, we would regret
very much to see the Office abolish
