Tie highway department Of the CITY
mas large gang of PAYERS and FOUNDERS
at work at the junction OF Broadway and
Westminster street putting the pave
ments I'm ship-shape order after the work
done by the contractor. who some time
ago installed the high pressure water
services for the fire department and there
are taxpayers who are asking why the
work should be done by the city for the
pavements, as these taxpayers supposed
were TO be replaced I'm proper manner
by the contractor, who went through the
ceremony at least OF so doing.
WORKED LIKE BEAVERS.
The Rhode Island company is entitled To
great deal OF credit for the work done
In odd Fellows square from early Satur-
day evening until last evening. For a few
days cars have left the tracks In front OF
odd Fellows hall. which has been n
source OF much annoyance and to get rid
or this annoyance the company dis
patched n large corps OF workmen to the
scene Saturday evening. every one OF
whom worked like n beaver. even during
the snow storm yesterday afternoon. and
remedied the defect. There was but little
sleep for those who lived in the vicinity
Saturday evening, or Sunday morning.
but all were quite willing to lose one
nights sleep instead OF being aroused
from their slumbers every evening by a
car leaving the tracks.
GENERAL MENTION.
A service OF 10 hours alteration was be-
gun at the close OF the last service at ST.
Anthony's Catholic church yesterday
morning and will continue until tomorrow
morning.
