STREET IMPROVEMENTS

Because the bids for merchandising

high, the commissioners Of the town.
at a public meeting last night, rejected
them and decided to improve the street
square by square until the town can
appeal to the Legislature for permis-
sion to make a bond isue for the pur-
pose.
Although the sentiment of the meet
ing favored the improvement Of the
street, il was agreed that the town
could not do the work with the money
in hand. The lowest bid was $4,000.
The commissioners decided to improve
the street with what money is in hand
and to continue the improvement as
soon as the proceeds of the proposed
bond issue are in hand.

CONFERENCE IN PRIVATE

Washington, March 6.-Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce com mission and Commissioner of Labor Neill, who under the Erdman law are to act as mediators between the of- ficials of the Southern railway and its employees, will begin their work in this city next Tuesday, It is likely tho conference between the mediators and the officials and employees of the road will be held at the interstate commerce commission. The conference will be private and it is believed by the medi- ators that no statement concerning tn em will be made until a definite con- clusion has been reached. The con- ference will involve purely the ques
 ton of wages. Representatives of all of the organizations of railroad trainmen will appear before the media
 tors and they will be afforded ample opportunity to discuss fully their posi- tion. The same opportunity will be afforded the officials of the railway. The mediators will not sit as a board of arbitration but will act merely as conciliators. It will be their purpose to bring the employers and employees to an amicable understanding and agreement and they express hope of 2 successful issue of their endeavors.
