Little Business Of Importance
Considered.
PAVED. STREETS OPENED
Service Board Pleased With
Work Of the Contractors.
Blectric Light Arches Win be Light
ed Nightly Until Christmas at
Request Of Business Mem.

The Service Board transacted its
business in whirlwind fashion last
night, the most important action taxi
en- being the opening OF several
streets on which the paving has been
completed. ~
The superintendent OF streets was
ordered to throw open Cherry street
Elm street, South Prospect street
from Hin to Walnut streets and the
boulevard from Columbia street to
the first intersection south. All of the
paving has been done in very salts
factory manner, according to the in
spectors and as many people are In
need OF coal 1t was decided to open
the thoruughfares in order that 1t
may be possible for coal wagons to
Ireach their premises. n
1t was reported that the George
street paving Is completed but the
lefty engineer thought 1t best to al
low the pavement to stand another
week before 1t Is opened to traffic.
The board is highly pleased with
the progress made by the contractors
in spite OF much unfayorable wealth
er, lack OF labor and delays in the
delivery OF material. 1t is believed
that practically all OF the paving
under contract will be completed
shortly after the first OF the year.
Charles Hartman, inspector OF the
Cffrry street paving, notified the
board that the contractors found a
large mud hole in the street, which
they were obliged to fll with crushed
stone, and for which they ask If
lteen dollars. The board accepted the
Modification and will act on 1t at the
next meeting.
Frank Closer, superintendent OF
the electric light plant, in a COM
munication to the board, stated that
he would light the arches on the
square from 4:30lto ESQ D. m. every
'|evening from the 10th to oath inst /.
Inclusive for $35. As an inducement,
Mr. Giosser agreed to'iight the arch
les New Years Eve, without addition
lal cost. As the lighting OF the
arches was earnestly advocated by
the business men. the board gave the
ecessary order.
Bills amounting t6 s5s15.oo were
ALLOWED and ordered paid before ad-
journment. a1
At the session of the Health board
la number of minor matters were
Igiven consideration. The sanitary
officer reported two cases Of chicken
pox, one of scarlet fever and one OF
Typhoid fever.

NEW YORK, May 2e-Miss
Hazel Tharsing, winner of The Calls
California beauty prize, arrived from
London tonight on the White Star
liner Oceanic, having been brought
back by The Call to compete in the
national beauty contest that will con-
vene in Chicago next Tuesday.
Her mother, Mrs. c. N. Tharsing,
OF San Francisco and myself, as the
representative of The Call, were at
the pier to meet the fair young Cali
fornian. The rail was lined with
women passengers, waving their
greetings to friends ashore. AS soon
as the gangway was in place Miss
Tharsing was among the first down
the plank and into her mothers arms.
Now The Call correspondents idea of
how Miss Tharsing would look did not
accord with her actual presence. In a
beauty contest it is quite natural, per-
haps, 70 conjure up fancies of a wo-
man imposing and statuesque Hazel

The bracing sea air had brought a

that velled up at the sight OF her
mother could not altogether dim the

shines a merry. roguish light that
makes no small part of her charm.
Miss Tharsing's beauty is essentially
