WARD ONE NEXT?
Property Holders on Nance street
Urged to Agree to Cement Side
walk Plan.

Nance street running north through
Ward | had been selected as the next
street ON which to lay cement side
walks, provided the property holders
should agree to the plan Of paying
half the cost, the city paying the 9th
er half-the plan which has been or
rled out in laying the walks which
have already been laid; but, while
most OF the property holders have
agreed 10 the plan, there are yet two
or three who nave not done so. Aid
erman Baxter, who represents Ward
| in the city council, and who, with
Mayor Langford, has been very much
interested III the work OF laying the
cement sidewalks, Mr.. Baxter OF
course. taking an especial interest in
his own ward, has been working hard
to get all the property holders along
Nance street to agree to the plan, and
ne still hopes to do so.
There has been considerable COM
plant fram Ward | on account OF
The sewerage not extending to the
residence section of this ward, and it
was expected that there would be no
trouble in securing the hearty CO.
operation of the property holders in
that ward in the plan Of ccmcntiny
the sidewalks.
The work is now bcin" carried for
ward on Main street, and will go be-
y"nd MIR. +. Il. Wilson's residence.
IT WAS proposed by the city authori-
ties I" cement Nance street next, and
it is earnestly hoped that those pro-
r1:% holders who have not yet seen
'h'1r way clear I" agree to pay their
pr" rata share to secure the sidewalk
will Il" :" Immediately. The side
walks have given universal satisfac-
ll"n wherever they have been laid,
and they have enhanced the value Of
property al"n" which they run many
times their cost. And not only that.
bui II is permanent investment, the
small cost brin" spread out over a
GOOD many years in which they will
d" service and continue to enhance the
va:ur ~; property.
Mayor Lan" ford and Alderman
Baxter and all the city authorities
h"pH t" see all the property holders
on Nance street going north into
ward ! agree to the plan very soon,
$" tha, the work may begin on this
street aS soon as the work on Main
street Is completed.

The musical play Of LaFiesta was
nrettily rendered at the opera house by
about seveuty-tive of the Younger people
of Island Pond on the evenings OF Tues
day and Wednesday. The play consisted
mainly of dances aud drills in very
pretty aud appropriate costumes, inter
,persed by some character songs, We"
rendered by Mrs. Quimhy and Mr..
Chesley. The skill Of the performance
in which so short a time was allowed Tor
nrenaration reflects great credit not only
ON the players, but also on Miss Harris
under whose management the entire
nrooramme was carried out. The ac-
were excellently rendered
Nv Mrs. Liuehan. BY popular vote the
Butterfly dance was conce led the most
,onular dance, the National dance a
close second-only difference OF one
vote between the two. The Woman
Auxiliary of Christ Church, under whose
auspices the play was presented, realized
some $50 over and above all expense
The total receipts were sl09.o5, and ex-
