Nothing but Trouble.

The street was finally widened, ac-
cording to the enlightened ideas of the
city engineer rather than the wishes
OF a majority OF the people. and then
it came to the selection of the kind
of pavement. The city officials want
ed brick, but the property owners were
not satisfied to have a substitute for
metropolitan brick used, and so they
finally adopted the stone with an
asphalt filler. 1t is freely predicted
that the street will run" before Sep
tember.
At this very minute they are quak-
ing in their boots for fear the street
viii not stand the heavy traffic to
which it has been subjected The
street car company used a soft kind
of asphalt and tar mixed that has
been tracked into the houses of the
Homewood people for the past three
months and all together the people on
the south side are having a terrible
time with their pavement. AS the
pavement is being ripped into shreds
by horses. the McGovern company
which laid it under guarantee, has a
large sized contract on its hands.

The property owners along South Hoh-

worried these days as to whether the

foot lot is going to wear.
The recent warm weather has result
ed in the softening of the so-caned
asphalt surface until the caIks on the

it. In one or two small places the
upper surface has peeled off leaving
the under dressing of stone bare In
many places yesterday it was possible
for a man to kick holes in the pave

The distance between the two cars
narrowed every succeeding second. The
gray machine was going at her fun

Peabody and Clayton were seated.
