Under the old conditions, 1t was
customary to require the contractor
to put up "A bond equal to about so
per cent of the contract price of the
work under consideration. During
the late financial furry, on the maiu-
land many contractors threw NJ
their contracts and left the govern
ment to complete the work as best
1t could, In many instances, Uncle
Sam suffered considerable financial
loss. owing TO the bonds being in.
sufficient To cover the shortcomings
Of the contractors. For this reason
increased boLds were ordered.
Bonds by surety companies are
favored by the federal authorities,
as, in case of pilikia, there is less
difficulty in realizing on them.
The successful contractor will re-
ceive his pay by installments, esti-
mates of work being made at stated
intervals and payment being made
in accordance. or the first estimate,

he will receive the pro rata rate for

work, will be paid in lump sum.

Will CUT.
OUT BLANKS
NEW PISTOL LAW WILL DO AWAY
WITH PART OF FOURTH OF
JULY RACKET.

The new Johnson Pistol Totlng law
in West Virginia which makes It a
severe penalty for the carrying OF
weapons without a license may put
serious crinQ in the usual Fourth
OF July celebrations. 1t seems certain
from oplaions rendered that it will
do away with the use Of the blank car
fridge or at lesst cut it down TO a
great extent.
The question has been raised as to
whether it will be Necessary for a
person to secure license and furnish
bond for having in their possession,
the pistols used for the firing Of blank
cartridges. In the opinion Of several
lawyers and officials it Will be neces-
sary for such persons desiring to use
the pistols to'secure a license, If such
is the case and it seems reasonable
from the reading OF the law, there
will be few blanks used on the
Fourth.
1t is plain that a person must iave
a license and furnish the bond to car
ry regular revolver or pistol used
for firing cartridges II they carry
them only to shoot off blanks on the
glorious day. The question is only
as to those pistols which are made for
only the firing Of blanks and COST
from twenty-five to fifty cents. It Is
held by some local lawyers that 1t
is necessary for persons carrying
these pistols to secure the license
from the following which is the first
Of the opening clause If Section { of
the law; Ti any person, without 8
State license Therefor, carry about his
person any revolver or other pistol,
dirk. bowie knife, slung shot. razor.
billy, metallic or other false kuncklos
or any otner dangerous or deadly
weapon OF like kind or character. ne
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
ETC."
The mention of the words, "other
pistoT' and "other dangerous or dead
iv wespous of like character in the
law are taken to cover those pistols
used for the firing of blanks. They
come under the class of 'tplstol" and
also are considered both dangerous
and deadly" weapons. As result no
one will be allowed to fire blank car
tridges to celebrate the Fourth. This
has been one Of the most popular
ways OF making noises on this day
and the law will do away with much
of the racket That is most ncking to
the ears and nerves.
Several dealers in Fourth OF July
goods have been making inquiries as
70 this matter as they do not wish.
to lay in a stock of the blank car.
fridge pistols and the blanks If pso-
pie will not be permitted to use them.

1t is the natural outlet for pedes.

Those that live beyond Fourth street
come Locust avenue to that street
then down it and across the bridge to
Walnut avenue entering town by way
of the South Side bridge. This was
the route for vehicles until council or
dered the bridge to be closed. Walk
ers did not quit crossing the old str,lc-
ture after they had been forbidden to
do so by council in its act Of placing
a fence across either end Of the bridge.
School children had to pass over it
to the High School Crowds of Nor.
NAL School students cross It. Some
one is responsible for Fourth street
bridge and whoever is will be found
and then the citizens will make de-
