TO LAY STATE STREET
PAVING UPON THE OLD

State street. between Smith and
Market streets, which is being paved
with asphalt blocks by the Hastings
Paving Company, will not have new
concrete foundation, as the blocks
will be laid on the present macadam
pavement. On account of concrete
foundation not being necessary, the
cost of the paving will be considera-
bly, less than on several other streets
which are also to be paved with
asphalt block.
The Hastings company have been
at work on State street for over a
week and expect to begin laying the
blocks next week.
Excavations that have been made
recently for sewers, gas or water
mains or conduits will be concreted,
also the cutters, which were formerly
of Belgium blocks. The macadam is
in excellent condition and, by laying
the blocks on top of it with the US
ual sand and cement mortar under
meath, the pavement, when finished,
will be equal to, If not better than,
any other laid in the city. The bids
on State street total about $2.32 per
square yard, while on lower State
street, where concrete Will have to
be used, the bids figure S2.65 per

RAGPICKERS CAUSE
NUISANCE AT DUMP

The new Sayre avenue dumping
grounds recently opened by the gar
bage contractors, Graham & McKeon,
are now complained of by residents
in the immediate vicinity. The COM
plainants assert that the warm and
sultry weather of the past few days
has made the conditions unbearable
and windows have to be kept closed.
The complaint was made to Health
Officer Lund who inspected the
grounds today. He found the place
in fairly good condition, except that
the refuse had been stirred up with
sticks. He learned that women and
children go there daily to search for
articles. thus, decaying refuse is un-
earthed and affected by the sun, it
emits unpleasant odors. AS far as
can be learned, the contractors are
carrying out very provision of their
agreement, by covering the grounds
with clear dirt specified number Of
times each week.
