The beautiful lamps in front of the
Hotel Colfax and the Coliax National
Bank, shedding soft mellow light, re-
Gently installed, are receiving much fav-
orable comment. The iron posts are
painted black and are topped with clust-
ers OF three globes, it being possible to
use more globes if desired. Inside each
globe ls an electric light, the top globe
being 40 candle power, the two lower
ones being 16 candle power The posts

the bottom Of the lower globe, the whole
being arranged with artistic effect de-
lightiul to look upon. These lamps,
when generally installed, will do away
with overhanging wires and incandeecent
lamps, wires being placed under ground
and reaching the globes overtopping the
posts from the sidewalk beneath. Lights
such as installed by Mr. Maloney of the
hotel and the bank can be put in for
about $50 for each post of three lamps.

New Concrete CrosswaIk.

The street department has put in a
new concrete crosswaIk at the intersec-
ton of Main and Spring streets, north
side, taking out the Belgian blocks which
have done service for many years. 1t is
the purpose to replace all other CROSS
walks on Main street with concrete, pro-
vided it works satisfactorily and the
cost is not too great. The new cross
walk is on level with the macadam of
the street, which is not the case with the
Belgian blocks, which are a trifle higher,
hence the spectacle is presented of autos
and vehicles humping high in the air and
iolting occupants considerably as they
pass over these blocks. If all the cross
walks are laid with concrete Main street
will be az level and smooth as a race
track, N aking it pleasure to ride back
and forth. We hope to see the work
complete.
