Store In GrinneIl Building, and Bid
for All Classes Of Trade.

A firm destined to be numbered
among the foremost in Detroit is that
OF Conway 4 Manning. recently estab-
lished at No. 243 Woodward.ave., in
the ne~ Gripnell building, opening up
with fine line OF footwear for men,
women and children. Both Mr.. Con-
way and MI. Manning have been en-
gagged for many years in the shoe bus
mess In Detroit. and the former has
been more recently engaged in the
business In New York city.
The store is well lighted. is finished
In oak and mas several full length mir
rors set in the walls. The furniture

tuned oak. with red Spanish leather

A completS line OF shoes for men,
women and children. at popular prices
as well as TIE more expensive styles,
Is To be seen. The styles FOR spring
and summer are well established now.
One OF the smartes' styles for wom-
en- is the rev Eclipse tie II is one
Of the most practical OF the spring
models and may be worn with either
buckles or ribbons. These and other
patterns In ouckskin. bronze, suede,
cravenettes, calfskin, patent and the
like are shown. Il is noticeable. after
inspecting this stock, that the man.
nish shoe for women, so long affected,
has gone the way OF the Merry Wild
ow" chapeau. and now we have the
decidedly feminine shoe for miladi.
SUICIDES aud bronze leather appear

and the new moleds surely make the
foot look smaller by two sizes than
their predecessors. These come I'm

A new style in the Eclipse is In

CITY ORDERS 125
MILES Of WALK
Contractors and D. p. w. Gangs Will
Be Kept On the Hump--6,00o.
Complaints Filed.

One hundred and twenty-five miles
of sidewalks Ia quite a stretch, and
yet that In the amount which the de-
partmsnt Of public works has ordered
laid this year. And the season Ii just
beginning.
Owing to the fact that there has
been less snow than usual the last
winter. the sidewalk Inspectors have
been able to work almost continually.
and they piled I'D rb,eee complaints
against bad walks. There have been
condemned now and notice siyen to
tho property owners by publication.
On Monday, Clerks Stewart and
Forster began giving out he orders To
the two department gangs and the two
city contractors. Garner Dos. on the
east side. and Archer 4 L1anyon on tho
west side, to lay new walks In place
of the rotten old wooden ones.
To finish up the work completely.
the city will be divided v pinto die.
tricts and the inspectors sent through
each district In pairs. going along.
block by block and walk w walk. TO
see that every walk which can be re.
paired and every one that has reached
the condemnation stage 10 torn up and
replaced by q cement walk. II IL not
that the whole city can be
covered in this way this season owing
to the great number OF old wooden
walks still in existence, but the stun
ton Ia expected to be greatly I'm
proved.
Two to four city gangs Will be put
on beside from 10 to 10 gangs work
ing for the city contractors. The city
price for the year on all walk latd by
these city gangs will be IL IL cents
per square foot.
Much annoyance is being caused the
sidewalk division of the department
of public works by contractors agents
who go to property owners and assure
them that their wooden walks are
condemned. whether such is the case
or not. Whenever this rs done, AMI
the walk is good. the indignant prop
erty owner comes down 20 the side
walk division ONCE and objects TO what
he considers an imposition. Then the
olcrk has to look the matter up and
try &C. soothe the taxpayer.
When an agent comes to you Tor
ar order for a walk and says the old
walk is condemned, make him show
the published notice of condemnation,
is tho advice OF Sidewalk Clerk Stew
art.

There was animated discussion on
many points Of the bill In the senate.
Senator MacKay attempted to substi-
