Street and Sidewalk
improvements Planned

CcontInued From FIRST Paue)
before the city council at its special
meeting this morning for the purpose
Of asking that body to furnish relief
in the matter of sloping sidewalks.
Chairman Daniels will also bring the
matter of placing he names of streets
IN sidewalks to the councils attention
today.
ADDITIONAL TERRITORY.
The sidewalk contractor will be fur
nished the following territory in
which to continue the work OF con-
Structing 20 miles of walks: Com
mencing at the northern boundary of
the sidewalk limits and extending
from the center of BayIeR street to
the center of GUiliemarde south to
Wright, from Wright down the center
of TaFargona on the east side to CEN
ter OF Baylen to the bay. The con-
tractor has informed the board that
100000 square feet of walks will be
constructed per month.
Street superintendent Burns in
formed the board that the obstruc-
lions over the water on West Pine
street, the owners of which were
given a certain time in which to re-
move them, were still standing He
was given authority to remove them
The matter of removing the OBJ
StructionS in the rear of the pilots
office was referred to the wharf COM
mittee- The question of city wharf
regulations was also referred to this
committee.
The wharf committee, composed of
Messrs. Walker and Thiesen, reported
that the work of rebuilding the city
wharf on West Magnolia street. which
was done under the supervision of
Street Superintendent Burns, was fin
ished in first-class style. They also
reported that the work was done
cheaper than if it had been done by
contract.

awning in front OF the theatre, was
laid on the table.

to afford temporary relief to
the residents in the vicinity of Hayne
and Wright streets, complaint having
been made of the box drains at that
location. Street Superintendent Burns
said he believed the bad condition
existing at the above corner was not

The attorney general returned tn
the conference, but Judge Bradford
said:
General, before you get away FROM

Who else prepared notes?"
MI. McCOnIco, [ believe.
Bradford denied that ne ever wrote
a detailed statement OF the tragedy
and sent it out to friends. He did
prepare brief or synopsis OF the de-
fense's theory of the tragedy for

Didn't you, instead Of trying TO
Keep Col. Cooper from sending that
note, tell several men you were going
TO deliver it to Carmack in person for
the colonel?"
