resumed work Saturday, and unless

work will be pushed through to com

at work at the Register corner and is
going east up Williams street The
contractor claims that the machine viii
work better in cold weather than in
the summer time as the frost in the
ground prevents the sides Of the ditch
r difficulties the contractor had to con
tend with last year. Mr.. IIaggart hac
had considerable trouble with his con
: tract, the big dtcher failing to work
] properly and the water in the bitches
added to the expense. but hopes that

over more rapidly. The long delay
