as rapidly as can be expected. The
excavation and relaying of curbstones
has been completed as far as South
street. The blocks have been arriv-
ing by freight lively and are being
hauled and piled up along the cutters.
The cement is expected here almost
any day. In the laying of the 5-inch
concrete it has not been definitely
decided whether stone or grave will
be used. If enough gravel can be
secured in this vicinity it will be
given the preference. At any event
the excavation will be made the entire
length of the street to be blocked be-
fore the gravel or stone is hauled,
after which the concrete road will be
laid. A special brick layer, capable
of laying 25, 900 or 80, 900 bricks a day
will be here by the first of July. The
contractors are hoping to complete
the entire job by August the first.
