The paving seems TO be showed I'M
der and the work stopped for the win
ter but Contractor Horrabin may be
able, in some break of the cold spell
that will thaw the snow so that it can
be removed, to finish the two blocks
that are yet TO be covered. An attempt
has been made to close these two
blocks TO general traffic to save injury
to the concrete and leave it in good
condition for the bitulithic top when il
becomes possible to put it on but the
council has not thought best to close
so much space entirely.
The roads in the country are getting

that are to receive paving next yea
have been dug up in all directions fol

is indescribable and must be seen to be
appreciated, and many are the express
sions Of longing for the good time
coming" when we shall have the pres.
ent contract for paving completed.
