BOULEVARD BIDS
BEING RECEIVED
improvements on Jefferson
Street Soon to Begin
Work Starts on Fountain Avenue to
BE Followed ON Broadway to
City Limits.
STREET RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.

Bids are being received from con-
tractors on the Improvement of the
trackway on Jefferson street from
Nineteenth street to Twenty
street, according to the agreement
between the traction company and
the residents. The center of the
street where the car track is, will be
graded and filled in to make a grass
plot and concrete curb will be run
down each side. The track can be
crossed only at the street intersec-
items and West JEFFERSON street prae-
tically will be made two streets with
the park strip between.
Contractor G. w. Katterjohn also
started the improvement of Fountain
avenue this morning, from Broadway
to Jefferson street. This block will
be finished with concrete sidewalks,
curbs and cutters and then Broadway
from Fifteenth to Twenty-fifth street
will be similarly treated.
Nineteenth Street Line.
Among the extensive improvements
going on or planned for the western
end of the city, all are in an ad-
yanced state except the extension Of
the traction company's line out
Broadway to Nineteenth street, thence
TO Guthrie avenue and the Mayfield
road. Residents in Worten's addi-
iton and that section of the city have
been waiting nearly a year on the
improvement, which according to the
ordinance, was to have been COM
pleted and in operation within a year
after its passage. In the traction
company's the delay in finishing the
extension is placed with the city. A
fill on Broadway must be widened
and culvert built by the city before
a line can be completed. Meanwhile
that section of the city remains the
only one not served by the traction
company, excepting that part of the
city beyond Island creek.
The new line to Gregory Heights
In the west end is being pushed and
will be in operation by the time that
residence district is thrown open for
active building.

PRINCETON STATIONS
LAWN OCCUPIES BLOCK

Princeton bids fair not only to have
the prettiest lawn at a railroad sta
ton on the Illinois Central on the
Louisville division, but on the whole
system, according to William Keller,
gardener Of the Louisville division,
who arrived this morning from
Princeton and went to Louisville to-
day at noon. The station and lawn
at Princeton occupy a whole block
and will be big improvement for
the town. Last year Mr.. Keller re-
ceived instructions from Chicago not
to put any extra work on the old
lawn as plans for a large lawn were
contemplated.

where the greatest need exists and
! especially i'll the west and south where
the crops have to be moved. have as
surance that the leaders of congress are
considering correEcy bill which will
meet in permanent fashion the needs of
the situation and which believe will be
passed at an early date after congress
convenes two weeks hence. What is
most needed just now is that our citi-
zens should realize how fundamentally
sound business conditions in this coun-
try are and how absurd it is to permit
themselves to get into panic and create
srt1ngency by boarding their savings
instead Of trusting perfectly sound
banks. There is no particle of risk in
volved in letting business take its natur-
al course and the people can themselves
help the country most by putting into
active circulation the money they are
boarding. The banks and trust COM
panies are solvent. There is more cur
rency in the country to day than there
was month ago when the supply was
ample. Since then $55,ooo, 900 in gold
has been imported and government has
deposited already 500 900, 900. These
are facts and l appeal to the public to
,co-opeaate with us in restoring normal
=
conditions.
"The government will see that the
people do not suffer if only the people
themselves will act in a normal way.
Crops are good and business conditions
are sound and we should put the money
we have into circulation at once to meet
the needs of our abounding prosperity.
There is no analogy at all with the way
things were in 1898. On November 80
of that year there was in the treasury
but $I6I, 900, 600 in gold. On November
IA of this year there was in the treasury
1904, 900, 900 in gold, Ten years ago the
circulation per capita was $23.33 1t is
now 1888.
'The steps you now take, the ability
of the government to back them up and
the fact that not particle of risk is in
volved therein, gives the fullest guaran-
tee of the sound condition of our people
and the sound condition of our treasury.
All that our people have to do now is to
| go ahead with their nomal business in a
normal way and the whole difficulty dis
appears; and this end will be achieved if
each man will act as he normally does
act, and as the real condition of the
country's business fully warrants his
now acting
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT. +"

UNCLE SAM Will
TAKE A HAND
Secretary of Treasury Will Issue
Sl5O,OOO,OOO in Bonds to Help
Relieve the Present Money
Panic.

That the government is now
doing all in its power to counter
act the effect of the present
money panic is shown by the
announcement Of Secretary Cor
telyou made public Sunday even
ing to the effect that the treasury
would at once issue $50, 900, 900
of Panama canal bonds and
$100, 100000 of treasury certifi-
Gates for the purpose of reliev-
ing the present money situation.
Secretary Cortelyou also states
that the proceeds from the sale
of the certificates can be made
directly for the movemenr of the
crops, which he says, IF prop
erly accelerated will give the
greatest relief and result in the
most immediate returns. Z"
This announcement is the di-
rect result of a conference at the
White House a few days since
and the following letter shows
that the secretary's measures
meet with the hearty approval
of the president:

sidered your proposal l approve the
