Berg & Johnson, who put in the
concrete for the first story last sum

to a point where the building can
be used in part. when the church
will move in. The present cramped
quarters in the old building render
it exceedingly dificult to carry on
their work.
The building, when completed,
will cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. and the contractors say it
will measure up well with most
buildings costing $4,000 It will
be modern in all its appointments.

assured as a gift to the church by
two friends of the work. and the

was put in last summer.
For two years this church So

New Teaching Certificates.

Although the people in Idaho
generally understand that the Lewis.
ton Normal School, being a state in
stitution, is empowered by law to
grant teaching certificates to stuc-
ents. yet it is not generally unlor-
stood that the Lewiston Normal
may grant and does grant special
certificates in special subjects. The
following certificates are granite
First, the diploma or life certificate:
second. the first grade certificate.

tificate. good for three years; fifth.

sixth. manual training and drawing
certificate; seventh. drawing and do
nestle arts certificate; eighth.

tifcate.
These special certificates are
granted upon the completion of one
years work in the professional
school of the Lewiston Normal. Rec
emily there has been CROWNS
demand on the part of school boards
and superintendents throughout the
state for trained teachers who are
specialists in music and drawins.
domestic art, manual training anil
physical education. Undoubtedly
this demand will grow stronger with
each year, and those teachers who
have had special rtaining alons
these lines will find no difficulty in
obtaining desired positions at in
creased salaries. The special train
ing required for such positions
teachers can receive at the Lewis
ton state Normal school.

PLANS OF COUNCIL
MAY POSTPONE SIDEWALK PAVING
HILLS.
There Are 10 Macy Methods of Paying
For the Paving That the City
Fathers Are Not Ready
for Decislon

A member of the Finance COMMITTEES
of the City Council stated last night
that the committee would probably re-
commend to the Council postpone
ment of the consideration of bids on
recently authorized sidewalk paving
from tonight to April 10. The reason
for the desire for further considera-
tion OF the matter Is that thorough In
vestigation by the Finance Committee,
Ii has been shown. there are several
modes of paying for the work and thew
have not decided which they consider
most beneficial to all persons con.
cerned.
1t was cited that several cities that
have fioated bonds for municipal Inn
provements have seen the money re-
allied on the bonds lie idle for months,
at an expense to the city, pending the
beginning of the improvements with
which they were connected. Having
had one experience OF this kind several
years ago, the Councilman are not de-
sirous of repeating that method of
financing municipal work.
Another plan of carrying through
the work is to let the contractors ham
die the financial loans. but .as this way
entails a greater expense to the city.
in some cases, II too will undergo more
consideration.
A third plan that has been suggested
Is for the city to borrow money on It's
good name and assets, pay cash for the
work authorized. and later float bonds
to relieve the debt to the extent, as
provided in the municipal code, to
cover that part of the work which
property owners prefer time to pay
for instead Of cash.
The financing Of the contemplated
street improvements win be similar to
that of the sidewalk work, and as there
are several miles OF this work to be
done. at considerable expense, the
Finance Committee is going most care
fully about the report they will make
to the Council with the Recommended
lions for the same.
Another matter of Importance that
may be partially reported on tonight
Is the innovation suggested for the
city pump house. The electric pump
that has been the topic of so much dis
cussion among the Aldermen and wa
terworks officials 4has met with gen.
eral approval, but as the exact figures
at which II can be installed have not
been quoted. the question Of the adop-
tion of such a pump will be only spec
uiation until the figures are submitted
by the engineers.
